He ʻohana ʻai ʻai nā pōpoki a no laila no nā mammals. Loaʻa lākou ma nā ʻāina āpau koe ʻo Oceania a me Antarctica. ʻAneʻane ʻai wale lākou i ka ʻiʻo. Nui nā ʻano like ʻole o lākou i ʻokoʻa ke ʻano. Ma ke ʻano, ʻo nā pōpoki hihiu a me nā lynx wale nō e noho pū me mākou.
Ke kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i ka pōpoki, ʻōlelo pinepine mākou i ka pōpoki home. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua like nā pōpoki āpau me kā mākou pōpoki home. Eia nō naʻe, ua hānai ʻia ka pōpoki home a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi.
He aha ka mea maʻamau no nā pōpoki?
Ke nānā a hana like nā pōpoki a pau. He palupalu ko lākou kino, palupalu ke kapa me ka lauoho pōkole. He ʻuʻuku ke poʻo i ke kino. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā maka i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ke poʻo. Hoʻokumu nā haumāna i kahi ʻāpana haiki e hāmama ākea i ka pōʻeleʻele. ʻO ia ke kumu e ʻike maikaʻi ai nā pōpoki i nā kukui haʻahaʻa. He kōkua nō hoʻi nā ʻumiʻumi ma ka ihu.
Lohe loa nā pōpoki. Kūleʻa ko lākou mau pepeiao a liʻiliʻi. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohuli i ko lākou mau pepeiao e lohe ma kahi ʻano kikoʻī. He ʻono maikaʻi ko nā pōpoki, no laila ʻono maikaʻi lākou me ko lākou alelo, akā ʻaʻole honi maikaʻi i ko lākou ihu.
He niho ikaika ko ka popoki. Maikaʻi loa lākou i ka hopu ʻana a me ka pepehi ʻana i kā lākou mea pio me kā lākou ʻīlio. Paʻa pū lākou i ka ʻai me ko lākou mau maiuu. He ʻelima manamana lima māuʻu o nā pōpoki ma ko lākou mau wāwae mua a ʻehā ma ko lākou mau wāwae hope.
He ʻokoʻa ko nā pōpoki i ko lākou iwi iwi. ʻAʻohe o lākou iwi koko. ʻO ia nā iwi ʻelua e holo ana mai ka poʻohiwi a i waenakonu a kokoke e hui ma luna o ka umauma. Haʻihaʻi nā kānaka i ko lākou mau ʻāʻī i ka hāʻule ʻana. ʻAʻole hiki ke hana me nā pōpoki. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o kou mau poʻohiwi me ka ʻole o ka iwi koko. No laila hiki iā ʻoe ke pae maʻalahi me ka lele lōʻihi.
Hiki i ka hapa nui o nā pōpoki ke purr. Hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe me he kani hohonu. ʻOku maʻa mau nā pōpoki i ka wā maikaʻi loa. ʻO nā pōpoki liʻiliʻi loa e hana i kēia. Ma ka pu'u ke kumu o ka purring. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i ʻike maopopo ka poʻe ʻepekema pehea e hana ai kēia.
He mehameha ka hapa nui o nā pōpoki. Hui nā kāne i ka wahine no ka hoʻopalau ʻana a hānau keiki. ʻO nā liona wale nō e noho haʻaheo. Hiki ke mālama maikaʻi ʻia nā pōpoki home ma nā hui wahine.
Pehea ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ʻana o nā pōpoki?
ʻEkolu ʻohana pōkole o nā pōpoki: nā pōpoki niho saber i pau, nā pōpoki nunui, a me nā pōpoki liʻiliʻi. Ua pau nā pōpoki niho saber i ka wā Pōhaku.
ʻO nā pōpoki nui ka tiger, jaguar, liona, leopadi, a me ka leopadi hau. I kekahi manawa ua hoʻokomo pū ʻia ka leopadi ao. Ua like ia me ka leopadi a noho ma ka hikina hema o Asia. Hoʻomaopopo ka loea i nā pōpoki nunui ʻaʻole wale ma ka nui o ko lākou kino no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo mau. ʻO kahi ʻokoʻa nui he iwi ma lalo o ke alelo i kapa ʻia ʻo "iwi hyoid." ʻOkoʻa nō hoʻi nā pōpoki nunui i kā lākou mau genes.
ʻO nā pōpoki liʻiliʻi ka cheetah, ka cougar, ka lynx, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia pū kekahi me nā "Piki maoli". He ʻano ʻano ʻoe. Aia pū kekahi me ka popoki hihiu, kahi i iho mai ai ko kākou pōpoki hale.
ʻO wai ka pōpoki e paʻa i ka moʻolelo?
Paʻa mau nā moʻolelo e nā kāne. ʻO nā tigers ka mea nui loa. Aia ma kahi o 200 kenimika ka lōʻihi mai ka ihu a lalo a hiki i ka 240 kilokani ka nui. Ua hahai pono ia lakou e na liona. Eia naʻe, paʻakikī ka hoʻohālikelike. Aia ia i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ke ʻano o ka hapa nui o nā holoholona. He awelika kēlā. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohālikelike i ka holoholona nui loa o kēlā me kēia ʻano i loaʻa iā ʻoe me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. A laila hiki ke ʻokoʻa iki ka hoʻohālikelike. Ua like ia me ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā keiki kula mai nā papa ʻelua.
ʻO ka cheetah ka wikiwiki loa. Hiki iā ia ke hiki i ka 100 km / h. ʻOi aku ka wikiwiki ma mua o ke kaʻa ʻana ma ke alanui ʻāina ma nā ʻāina he nui. Eia nō naʻe, mālama ka cheetah i kēia wikiwiki no ka manawa pōkole loa, ma mua o ka hopu ʻana i ka mea pio.
ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo wai ka pōpoki ikaika loa. Noho nā tigra, liona, a me nā cougars ma kahi ʻāina ʻē. ʻAʻole lākou e hui ma ke ʻano. ʻO ka liona a me ka leopadi, no ka laʻana, noho hapa ma nā ʻāina like. ʻAʻole naʻe lākou i ʻae i ka hakakā, akā hele i waho o ke ala.
