Introduction to the Caiman Lizard

ʻO ka Caiman Lizard, i ʻike ʻia i ka ʻepekema ʻo Dracaena guianensis, he mea kolo hoihoi e noho ana i loko o nā wao nahele o ʻAmelika Hema. Me kona hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa a me nā hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa, ua hopu kēia moʻo i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe ʻepekema a me ka poʻe hoihoi reptile. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i nā hui inoa ʻepekema i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i ka Caiman Lizard a e ʻimi i ke ʻano o kona inoa ʻepekema kumu Latin.

Ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā ʻaha inoa inoa ʻepekema

Ua hoʻokumu ʻia e Carl Linnaeus nā hui inoa ʻepekema, ʻike ʻia hoʻi he binomial nomenclature, i ke kenekulia 18 ma ke ʻano he ʻōnaehana holoʻokoʻa e hoʻokaʻawale a kapa inoa i nā mea ola. Hāʻawi kēia ʻōnaehana i kēlā me kēia ʻano i kahi inoa ʻepekema ʻelua ʻāpana, i loko o kahi genus a me kahi epithet ʻano. Manaʻo ka inoa ʻepekema e hāʻawi i kahi ala maʻamau a pololei e ʻike a hoʻokaʻawale i nā ʻano ma nā ʻōlelo a me nā ʻāpana like ʻole.

ʻO ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ka moʻo Caiman

Aia ka Caiman Lizard i ka papa reptile, e komo pū ana nā ʻano nahesa, nā honu, a me nā moʻo. I loko o ka papa reptile, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ia ma lalo o ke kauoha Squamata, e hoʻopuni ana i nā moʻo a me nā nahesa. Eia kekahi, hāʻule ka Caiman Lizard i loko o ka ʻohana Iguanidae, he ʻohana like ʻole e komo pū ana nā ʻano iguanas a me nā moʻo pili.

Taxonomy: Order, Family, and Genus

ʻO ke kauoha Squamata, nona ka Caiman Lizard, ua māhele hou ʻia i nā suborders, infraorders, a me nā superfamilies, e hāʻawi ana i ka wehewehe kikoʻī i loko o ka papa reptile. ʻIke ʻia ka ʻohana Iguanidae, i loko o ke kauoha Squamata, no kona ʻano ʻano moʻo like ʻole. ʻO ka hope, ma ka pae genus, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka Caiman Lizard ma lalo o Dracaena, kahi ʻano e komo pū ana kekahi mau ʻano moo ʻē aʻe.

Ka Hōʻike ʻana i ka inoa ʻepekema o ka Caiman Lizard

ʻO ka inoa ʻepekema o ka Caiman Lizard ʻo Dracaena guianensis. ʻO ka inoa genus, ʻo Dracaena, ua loaʻa mai ka huaʻōlelo Helene "drakaina," ʻo ia hoʻi "deragona wahine." He kuhikuhi paha kēia inoa i ke ʻano o ka moʻo a me kona ʻano. ʻO ka ʻano epithet, guianensis, pili i ka ʻāina ʻo Guiana, e hoʻopuni ana i nā ʻāpana o ka ʻākau ʻo Brazil, Suriname, a me French Guiana, kahi e ʻike pinepine ʻia ai ka Caiman Lizard.

ʻIke ʻana i ka inoa ʻano ʻano

ʻO ka inoa ʻano o ka Caiman Lizard, guianensis, hōʻike i kona māhele ʻāina. Hōʻike ia he ʻōiwi maoli ka moʻo i ka ʻāina ʻo Guiana, kahi i ʻike ʻia e kona mau ululāʻau ululāʻau a me nā holoholona hihiu like ʻole. Ma ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka ʻāina i kona inoa ʻepekema, hiki i nā mea noiʻi a me nā mea hoihoi ke ʻike maʻalahi i kahi e loaʻa pinepine ai kēia ʻano.

Ke Kumu Latina o ka inoa o ka Caiman Lizard

Loaʻa nā inoa ʻepekema mai nā huaʻōlelo Latin a i ʻole Helene, no ka mea, hāʻawi kēia mau ʻōlelo kahiko i nā huaʻōlelo waiwai no ka wehewehe ʻana a me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā meaola. Ma ka hihia o ka Caiman Lizard, ʻo ka inoa genus, ʻo Dracaena, e hōʻike ana i kona ʻano like me ka deragona, aʻo ka epithet species, guianensis, kuhikuhi i kona kumu i ka ʻāina Guiana. ʻO kēia hui inoa inoa Latin e hiki ai i nā ʻepekema ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa ke hoʻomaopopo a kamaʻilio e pili ana i kēia ʻano, me ka ʻole o kā lākou ʻōlelo ʻōiwi.

ʻO ke koʻikoʻi o ka Genus Epithet

ʻO ka epithet genus, ʻo Dracaena, ʻaʻole i wehewehe wale i ke ʻano o ka Caiman Lizard akā hāʻawi pū kekahi i nā ʻike i kona pilina evolutionary. ʻO nā ʻano moʻo ʻē aʻe i loko o ka moʻo like, e like me Dracaena paraguayensis, kaʻana like i nā kūpuna like a hōʻike i nā ʻano like. Ma ka hui pū ʻana i nā ʻano like me nā ʻano like ʻole ma lalo o ka ʻano ʻano like, hiki i nā ʻepekema ke hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi i ka mōʻaukala evolutionary a me nā pilina ma waena o nā ʻano mea kolo.

E ʻimi ana i nā ʻano kūʻokoʻa o ka Caiman Lizard

ʻIke ʻia ka Caiman Lizard no kona kino lōʻihi a lohi, hiki ke piʻi i ka lōʻihi a hiki i ka 1.5 mika. Ua uhi ʻia kona ʻili ʻili i nā hiʻohiʻona paʻakikī a me nā aka o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka ʻeleʻele, e ʻae iā ia e hui pono i loko o kona wahi noho o ka wao ua. ʻO kekahi o kāna mau hiʻohiʻona ʻokoʻa, ʻo ia kona ʻāʻī ikaika a me nā niho ʻoi, kahi e hiki ai iā ia ke ʻai i ka meaʻai ʻoi aku ka nui o nā snails, iʻa, a me nā mollusks.

ʻO ka Moʻolelo Evolutionary o ka Caiman Lizard

Loaʻa i ka Caiman Lizard kahi moʻolelo evolutionary waiwai e pili ana i nā miliona mau makahiki. Ma ke ʻano he lālā o ke kauoha ʻo Squamata, ʻokoʻa ʻo ia i nā kūpuna like ʻole me nā mea kolo ʻē aʻe, me nā nahesa a me nā moʻo. Ma o ke aʻo ʻana i nā mōʻalihaku a me ka loiloi genetic, ua loaʻa i ka poʻe ʻepekema nā ʻike i ka hoʻololi ʻana o ka Caiman Lizard a me kona wahi i ka laina reptilian ākea.

Kūlana Hoʻomalu a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli i nā ʻano

ʻO ka Caiman Lizard, e like me nā ʻano mea kolo ʻē aʻe, ke alo nei i nā ʻano hoʻoweliweli i kona ola ʻana. ʻO ka nalo ʻana o ka noho ʻana ma muli o ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka ululāʻau, ke kālepa ʻana i nā holoholona ma ke kānāwai, a me ka haumia he mau luʻi nui no ka mālama ʻana. Hoʻohui ʻia, ʻo ka wikiwiki o ka hānau keiki ʻana o ka Caiman Lizard e lilo ia i mea palupalu i ka emi ʻana o ka heluna kanaka. Ke hana ʻia nei nā hoʻoikaika ʻana e pale i kona wahi kūlohelohe a hoʻonui i ka ʻike e pili ana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka mālama ʻana i kēia ʻano ʻano like ʻole.

Koʻikoʻi o ka inoa ʻepekema no ka noiʻi a me ka mālama ʻana

He mea koʻikoʻi loa ka inoa ʻepekema ma ke ʻano o ka biology, no ka mea, hāʻawi ia i kahi ala maʻamau a ʻike ʻia i ke ao holoʻokoʻa e ʻike a hoʻokaʻawale i nā ʻano. Ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā inoa ʻepekema, hiki i nā mea noiʻi ke kamaʻilio maikaʻi a kaʻana like i ka ʻike e pili ana i nā meaola like ʻole, me ka Caiman Lizard. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa kēia i ka noiʻi, nā hana mālama, a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hoʻolālā no ka pale ʻana i nā ʻano mea ʻino a me ko lākou mau wahi noho.
