ʻO nā giraffes nā mammals. ʻAʻohe holoholona ʻē aʻe i ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kiʻekiʻe mai ke poʻo a hiki i nā wāwae. Ua kaulana lākou no ko lākou ʻāʻī lōʻihi loa. ʻEhiku mau ʻāʻī ʻāʻī o ka giraffe, e like me ka hapa nui o nā mammals ʻē aʻe. Eia nō naʻe, lōʻihi loa ka vertebrae cervical o ka giraffe. ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona kūikawā o nā giraffes ko lākou mau pepeiaohao ʻelua, i uhi ʻia me ka hulu. ʻO kekahi mau ʻano ʻano puʻupuʻu ma waena o nā maka.
Ma ʻApelika, noho nā giraffe i nā savannas, steppes, a me nā ʻāina ulu lāʻau. He ʻeiwa mau ʻano ʻano i ʻike ʻia e ko lākou hulu. Noho kēlā me kēia subspecies ma kahi kikoʻī.
Ua kapa ʻia nā kāne he mau bipi, ulu lākou a hiki i ʻeono mika ke kiʻekiʻe a hiki i ka 1900 kilograms. Kapa ʻia nā giraffe wahine he bipi. Hiki iā lākou ke ulu i ʻehā a me ka hapa mika ke kiʻekiʻe a hiki i ka 1180 kilokani. Aia ko lākou mau poʻohiwi ma waena o ʻelua a ʻekolu a me ka hapa mika ke kiʻekiʻe.
Pehea ke ola o na giraffe?
ʻO nā giraffe nā herbivores. ʻAi lākou i kēlā me kēia lā ma kahi o 30 kilokani o ka meaʻai, hoʻolimalima a hiki i 20 mau hola o ka lā e ʻai ai a e ʻimi ana i ka meaʻai. Hāʻawi ka ʻāʻī lōʻihi o ka giraffe i mea maikaʻi loa ma mua o nā herbivores ʻē aʻe: hiki iā ia ke ʻai i nā wahi ma nā kumu lāʻau ʻaʻole hiki i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe ke hiki. Hoʻohana lākou i ko lākou alelo uliuli e ʻohi i nā lau. Aia a hiki i 50 kenimika ka lōʻihi.
Hiki i nā giraffes ke hele me ka wai ʻole no nā pule no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka wai mai kā lākou lau. Inā inu lākou i ka wai, pono lākou e hohola ākea i ko lākou mau wāwae mua i hiki iā lākou ke komo i ka wai me ko lākou poʻo.
Noho pū nā giraffe wahine, akā ʻaʻole lākou e noho pū. He 32 mau holoholona ka nui o ia poe giraffe i kekahi manawa. Hoʻokumu nā pipi giraffe ʻōpio i kā lākou hui ponoʻī. Ma ke ʻano he kanaka makua, he holoholona mehameha lākou. e hakaka kekahi i kekahi ke halawai laua. Kū lākou ʻaoʻao a kuʻi i ko lākou mau poʻo i ka ʻāʻī lōʻihi o kekahi.
Pehea e hānau ai nā giraffe?
Hiki i nā makuahine Giraffe ke lawe i hoʻokahi pēpē wale nō i loko o ko lākou ʻōpū i ka manawa. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hāpai ʻana ma mua o ke kanaka: noho ka pipi giraffe i loko o ka ʻōpū o kona makuahine no 15 mahina. Kū i luna nā keiki giraffe wahine. ʻAʻole manaʻo ke keiki e hāʻule i lalo i ka lepo mai kēlā kiʻekiʻe.
I ka hānau ʻana, he 50 kilokani ke kaumaha o kahi holoholona ʻōpio. Hiki ke kū i luna ma hope o hoʻokahi hola a he 1.80 mika ke kiʻekiʻe, ka nui o ke kanaka makua. ʻO kēia ke ala e hiki ai i nā ʻuʻu o ka makuahine i hiki iā ia ke omo waiū ma laila. Hiki ke holo no ka manawa pōkole. He mea koʻikoʻi kēia i hiki iā ia ke hahai i ka makuahine a holo aku i nā mea ʻaihue.
Noho ke keiki me kona makuahine no hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapa. Hiki ke oʻo i ka moekolohe ma kahi o ʻehā makahiki a ua ulu piha i ka ʻeono makahiki. Noho ka giraffe ma kahi o 25 mau makahiki ma ka nahelehele. I ka noho pio ʻana, hiki ke 35 mau makahiki.
Pilikia anei nā giraffe?
Kakaʻikahi ka hoʻouka ʻia ʻana o nā giraffe e nā mea ʻaihue ma muli o ko lākou nui nui. Inā pono, kipaku lākou i ko lākou mau ʻenemi me ko lākou mau māiʻuʻu mua. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o kēia no nā keiki ke hoʻouka ʻia lākou e nā liona, nā leopadi, nā hyena, a me nā ʻīlio hihiu. ʻOiai mālama ka makuahine iā lākou, ʻo ka hapaha a ka hapalua wale nō o nā holoholona ʻōpio e ulu aʻe.
ʻO ke kanaka ka ʻenemi nui o ka giraffe. ʻO ko Roma a me ko Helene hoʻi i hahai i nā giraffe. Pela no na kamaaina. Ua kaulana nā kaula lōʻihi o nā giraffes no nā kaula kakaka a me nā kaula no nā mea kani. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i kēia ʻimi i kahi hoʻoweliweli koʻikoʻi. Ma keʻano laulā, pilikia loa nā giraffes i nā kānaka inā manaʻo lākou e hoʻoweliweli ʻia.
Akā ke lawe aku nei nā kānaka i nā wahi noho o nā giraffes. I kēia lā, ua pau lākou i ka ʻākau o ka Sahara. A ʻo ke koena o nā ʻano giraffe e pōʻino. Ma ʻApelika Komohana, ua hoʻoweliweli ʻia lākou e pau. Loaʻa ka hapa nui o nā giraffes ma ka Serengeti National Park ma Tanzania ma ke kahakai hikina o ʻApelika. No ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i nā giraffes, ʻo kēlā me kēia Iune 21st ka World Giraffe Day.
