He aha ke ʻano o nā ʻiole?

ʻO Anatidae kekahi o nā ʻohana manu nui loa me kahi o 150 mau ʻano ʻano like ʻole, i māhele ʻia i ʻelua pūʻulu: ʻO ka geese, ʻo ia hoʻi nā geese a me nā swans. ʻO nā ʻeke, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua māhele ʻia i nā ʻauʻau ʻana, nā ʻeke luʻu, a me nā mea hoʻohui. He mau manamana wāwae ko nā Anatidae. He lōʻihi a ākea ko lākou kino, no laila e ʻau maikaʻi lākou i ka wai.

Ma ka ʻāina naʻe, ʻano ʻino lākou. He mea maikaʻi nō hoʻi ka hulu o nā ʻeke no ke ola i ka wai: He pōkole a ikaika nā ʻēheu o Anatidae. Me lākou, hiki iā lākou ke lele i kahi lōʻihi, akā ʻaʻole lākou he mea lele nani loa. E moe ana nā hulu mānoanoa ma luna o ka lole mahana.

Hoʻomoʻi mau ʻo Anatidae i ko lākou mau hulu me kahi mea ʻaila mai ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo preen gland. ʻO ia ka mea e pale ai ka hulu i ka wai a ʻōwili ka wai mai ka hulu. He palahalaha a laula ka nuku o Anatidae. Loaʻa iā lākou nā lamellae pepeiaohao ma ka lihi a hiki ke hoʻohana iā lākou e lawaiʻa i nā mea kanu liʻiliʻi mai ka wai.

I ka hihia o nā ʻōpala, ua hoʻololi ʻia lākou i nā niho liʻiliʻi e hiki ai iā lākou ke paʻa i kā lākou pio, no ka laʻana, nā iʻa liʻiliʻi, paʻa. Ma kahi kokoke i nā ʻeke a pau, ʻoi aku ka nani o nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike maikaʻi loa i kēia i nā kāne mallard kaulana, ʻo kekahi o ia mau kala iridescent ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka uliuli.

Ma hea kahi e noho ai nā ʻiole?

Loaʻa nā Anatidae ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa: hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma nā ʻāina āpau koe wale ʻo Antarctica. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā geese poʻo bar a hiki i 5000 mika ma nā pāpū kiʻekiʻe o Central Asia. ʻO Anatidae kokoke i nā manawa a pau e noho kokoke ana i nā wai. Ma muli o ke ʻano, lawa ka loko iʻa liʻiliʻi i loko o kahi paka kūlanakauhale no lākou a i ʻole lākou e noho i nā loko nui a i ʻole nā ​​kahakai. ʻO nā mea ʻokoʻa wale nō ka moa moa mai Australia a me ka kusi Hawaiʻi: Noho lākou ma ka ʻāina wale nō.

He aha nā ʻano ʻiʻo i laila?

ʻOiai nā ʻano like a pau, ʻokoʻa loa nā ʻano ʻano pāpaʻi ma kahi o 150: ʻO ke ʻano kikoʻī mai ka mallard kaulana, nā ʻiole mandarin waihoʻoluʻu i ka geese a me nā swans. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka ʻāʻī lōʻihi ke ʻano o nā geese a me nā swans.

ʻO ka mea liʻiliʻi loa i ʻike ʻia ʻo ia ka ʻōpala e like me ka sawyer dwarf a i ʻole ka mid sawyer: ʻOiai ua kūkulu ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano like me nā ʻeke, ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o ko lākou nuku iā lākou: ʻoi aku ka slimi ma mua o ka duckbill, ʻoki ʻia ma nā kihi a hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ka piko.

ʻEhia mau makahiki i loaʻa i nā ʻiole?

ʻEkolu makahiki wale nō ke ola ʻana o ka ʻiole, ʻo ka geese a hiki i ka ʻelima, a hiki i ka swans ke ola ma kahi o 20 mau makahiki. Eia nō naʻe, make nā holoholona he ʻōpiopio loa a ʻaʻole i ulu aʻe no ka mea ua hāʻule lākou i nā mea ʻaihue. I ka noho pio ʻana naʻe, hiki i nā ʻeke ke ola ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o ko lākou ola ʻana ma ka nahele.

Pehea ka noho ʻana o nā ʻiole?

ʻO ke ʻano o kā lākou ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai, he ʻano maʻamau ia o ka ʻiole. Hoʻokomo nā ʻāʻī i ke poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī i ka wai pāpaʻu a iʻa no ka ʻai me nā lamellae o ko lākou nuku. Piʻi kona lalo i waho o ka wai ke ʻeli ʻo ia – he ʻike i ʻike ʻia e nā mea a pau. ʻEli pū nō hoʻi nā ʻeke luʻu a me nā ʻiole moor, akā hiki iā lākou ke luʻu i lalo a loaʻa nā pāpaʻi ma laila. Hele mai nā kuʻe i uka e ʻai. A ʻo nā merganser, he poʻe hahai iʻa maikaʻi lākou no nā niho liʻiliʻi ma ko lākou nuku.

Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai, hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui nā pāpaʻi i ko lākou hulu: Me ko lākou nuku, omo lākou i kahi wai ʻaila mai nā ʻōpū preen ma ko lākou ʻāʻī a uhi pono i kēlā me kēia hulu me ia.

No ka mea, inā ʻaʻohe wai ka hulu, hiki iā lākou ke ʻau i ka wai. Ma kahi mehana i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa, noho mau ka ʻiole i ko lākou ʻāina hānau. Ma ʻEulopa a i ʻole ka Arctic, akā naʻe, neʻe nā ʻeke. ʻO ia hoʻi, lele lākou i mau kaukani kilomita i kēlā me kēia makahiki i ko lākou wahi hoʻoilo ma nā wahi mahana.

ʻO nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻenemi o ka ʻiole

Makemake ʻia ʻo Anatidae i nā mea ʻaihue e like me nā alopeke: hāʻule nā ​​​​holoholona ʻōpiopio iā lākou. Akā, he mea ʻai maoli nā hua no nā alopeke, skua, a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe.

Pehea ka hanau ana o na bebe?

Hānau pālua nā ʻiole. ʻOhi nā geese i nā ʻāpana nui i ka wā hānau. No laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana i nā hua a me nā ʻōpio mai nā ʻenemi. He monogamous ka nui o nā Anatidae, ʻo ia hoʻi, noho pū nā pālua no nā makahiki he nui a i ʻole, e like me nā geese a me nā swans, no ke ola. ʻO ka nui o nā hua, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻoulu ʻana o nā mākua.

No ka laʻana, hoʻomoʻa nā pāpaʻi pygmy no nā lā 22 wale nō, ʻoiai ʻo nā swans e hoʻoulu ai ma kahi o 40 mau lā. Ke oʻo nā ʻōpiopio ʻōpiopio, hiki iā lākou ke ʻau a hele. I nā pule mua, mālama ʻia lākou e ko lākou mau mākua a alakaʻi ʻia i ka pā hānai.

Pehea e kamaʻilio ai nā pāpaʻi?

Kēkē ʻiʻo. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻike ka poʻe he nui wale nā ​​​​wahine e hana i kēia. Hiki i nā kāne ke puhi a kani i nā leo ʻē aʻe e like me ka ʻōhumu. Kūkākūkā, kāhea, a hoʻohuā, kāhea kekahi mau geese. ʻO ka leo o nā swans ka mea nui loa: hiki ke lohe ʻia ko lākou leo ​​like me ka pū.
