Introduction to Tiger Salamanders

ʻO ka tiger salamanders he ʻano amphibians no ka ʻohana Ambystomatidae. Loaʻa pinepine ʻia lākou ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau a ua ʻike ʻia no ko lākou ʻano kino kūʻokoʻa, nā ʻano hoihoi, a me ke kuleana nui i nā kaiaola. ʻO ka Tiger salamanders he mau mea ola hiki ke ola a ulu i nā wahi noho like ʻole, me nā ululāʻau, nā mauʻu, a me nā wahi kūlanakauhale. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i nā ʻano like ʻole o ka tiger salamanders, me ko lākou ʻano kino, ka noho ʻana, ka meaʻai, ka hana hou ʻana, ka ʻano, nā hoʻoweliweli a lākou e kū nei, ke kūlana mālama, a me ko lākou koʻikoʻi i nā kaiaola.

Nā ʻano kino o ka Tiger Salamanders

Ua kaulana nā Tiger salamanders no ko lākou helehelena maikaʻi. He kino paʻa ko lākou me ke poʻo ākea a me ka huelo lōʻihi. He laumania ko lākou ʻili a maʻemaʻe, a ʻokoʻa ka waihoʻoluʻu ma muli o ko lākou wahi a me ka makahiki. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona waihoʻoluʻu maʻamau he kumu ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele paha me nā kiko melemele a ʻulaʻula paha. Hāʻawi kēia mau hōʻailona iā lākou i ke ʻano o kahi tiger, no laila ko lākou inoa. Hiki i nā salamander tiger makua ke loaʻa i ka lōʻihi a hiki i 13 iniha, e hana ana iā lākou kekahi o nā ʻano salamanders nui loa ma ʻAmelika ʻAmelika.

Noho a me ka mahele ʻana o nā Tiger Salamanders

He laha nui ko Tiger salamanders ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma nā wahi noho like ʻole, me nā ululāʻau, nā mauʻu, nā ʻāina wai, a me nā wahi kaona. He ʻāina mua lākou akā pono ke komo i ka wai no nā kumu hoʻohua. ʻOi aku ka makemake o nā Tiger salamanders i nā wahi noho me nā wahi lua kūpono, e like me ka lepo palaka, nā lau lau, a me nā lāʻau popopo. ʻIke ʻia lākou e ʻeli i nā lua iā lākou iho a i ʻole e hoʻohana i nā lua i hana mua ʻia e nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. ʻO ko lākou hiki ke hoʻololi i nā kaiapuni like ʻole i kōkua i ko lākou holomua ma ke ʻano he ʻano.

ʻO ka ʻai a me nā hana hānai ʻana o Tiger Salamanders

ʻO nā tiger salamanders he mau mea ʻaihue manawaleʻa a loaʻa iā lākou kahi meaʻai like ʻole. ʻAi lākou i nā ʻano mea ʻokoʻa invertebrates, ʻo ia hoʻi nā iniseti, nā ilo, nā snails, a me nā crustacean liʻiliʻi. He poʻe ʻaihue noho-a-kali lākou, ʻo ia hoʻi, ke kali nei lākou me ka hoʻomanawanui no ka hele ʻana mai o kā lākou mea pio i kahi mamao ma mua o ka hopu ʻana me ko lākou alelo wikiwiki. He makemake nui nā Tiger salamanders a hiki ke ʻai i ka nui o ka meaʻai, pono ia no ko lākou ulu a ola.

ʻO ka hana hou a me ke ola o ka Tiger Salamanders

ʻO ka hana hou ʻana i nā tiger salamanders e hana maʻamau i loko o nā kino wai e like me nā loko, nā loko, a i ʻole nā ​​loko manawa pōkole i hana ʻia e ka ua. Hoʻokomo nā kāne i nā wahine ma ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā pheromones i loko o ka wai, e hōʻailona ana i ko lākou mākaukau e mare. Ke hoʻokipa ʻia ka wahine, waiho ʻo ia i kāna mau hua i loko o ka wai, e hoʻopili pinepine iā lākou i nā mea kanu i lalo a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea ʻē aʻe. Hāpai nā hua i loko o nā ʻōnohu wai i kapa ʻia ʻo "neotenes" nona nā gills no ka hanu ʻana. I ko lākou ulu ʻana, hele kēia mau larvae i ka metamorphosis, e ulu ana i nā māmā a me nā lālā. ʻO ka hopena, haʻalele lākou i ka wai a lilo i kanaka makua honua.

ʻO ke ʻano a me ke ʻano o ka nohona o Tiger Salamanders

ʻO nā tiger salamanders he mau mea noho kaʻawale, e hui pū wale ana no ka hana male. Nocturnal lākou, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoi loa lākou i ka hana i ka pō a hoʻopau i ko lākou mau lā e peʻe ai i loko o nā lua a i ʻole ma lalo o nā mea uhi. ʻO kēia mau salamanders he mau lua maikaʻi loa a hiki ke ʻeli i nā tunnels hohonu e pakele ai i nā mea ʻaihue a i ʻole e ʻimi i kahi malu i ka wā maloʻo. Ua ʻike ʻia nō hoʻi lākou no ko lākou hiki ke hana hou i nā ʻāpana kino i nalowale, me nā lālā a me nā ʻāpana o ko lākou spinal cord.

Nā Predators a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli iā Tiger Salamanders

Kūleʻa nā Tiger salamander i nā ʻano hoʻoweliweli i ko lākou wahi kūlohelohe. Loaʻa iā lākou nā ʻano mea ʻaihue, e like me nā manu, nā nahesa, nā raccoons, a me nā mea momona ʻē aʻe. ʻO kā lākou mau hua a me nā larvae he mea maʻalahi i ka predation ma muli o ko lākou ʻano wai. ʻO nā hana kanaka, e like me ka luku ʻana i ka noho ʻana, ka pollution, a me ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā ʻano ʻōiwi ʻole, he mea weliweli hoʻi i nā tiger salamanders. ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau a me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kino wai maoli e hoʻonui i kēia mau pilikia.

Kūlana mālama o Tiger Salamanders

ʻOkoʻa ke kūlana mālama o nā tiger salamanders ma waena o nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā heluna kanaka. Ua helu ʻia kekahi mau ʻano, e like me ka California tiger salamander, ma muli o ka nalowale o ka noho ʻana a me ka pōʻino. ʻO nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe, e like me ka tiger salamander hikina, i manaʻo ʻia he mea hopohopo ʻole. Eia naʻe, he mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i ka emi ʻana o ka nui o ka nui o ka tiger salamander ma muli o nā hana a ke kanaka a me ka luku ʻana i ko lākou mau wahi noho. Ke hoʻoikaika ʻia nei e pale a mālama i kēia mau amphibians kupaianaha.

ʻO ke koʻikoʻi o nā Tiger Salamanders i loko o nā kaiaola

He koʻikoʻi ko ka Tiger salamanders i nā kaiaola ma ke ʻano he mea ʻaihue a he pio. Ma ke ʻano he poʻe ʻaihue, kōkua lākou i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka heluna kanaka o nā iniseti a me nā invertebrates ʻē aʻe, e kōkua ana i ke koena holoʻokoʻa o nā kaiaola. Ma ke ʻano he ʻai, hāʻawi lākou i kumu meaʻai no nā mea ʻaihue like ʻole, me nā manu, nā mammals, a me nā mea kolo. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka tiger salamanders nā hōʻailona o ke olakino kaiapuni. ʻO ko lākou hele ʻana a i ʻole ka hele ʻana i kahi wahi noho pono ke lilo i hōʻailona koʻikoʻi o ke kūlana kaiaola holoʻokoʻa o kahi wahi.

ʻO nā ho'āʻo hoʻomalu no Tiger Salamanders

Nui nā hana mālama e mālama ai i nā tiger salamanders a me ko lākou wahi noho. Hoʻopili kēia i nā papahana hoʻihoʻi ʻana i ka noho ʻana, nā papahana hānai pio, a me nā hoʻolaha hoʻolaha lehulehu. Hoʻoikaika pū ʻia ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka pollution, ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻāina pulu, a me ka pale ʻana i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano ʻōiwi ʻole i hiki ke hoʻokūkū a pio paha i nā tiger salamanders. ʻO ka hoʻoikaika like ʻana e pili ana i nā mea noiʻi, nā hui mālama mālama, a me nā keʻena aupuni he mea nui ia no ka mālama pono ʻana i kēia mau mea kupaianaha.

Nā mea hoihoi e pili ana iā Tiger Salamanders

• He 15 makahiki ke ola o ka Tiger salamander ma ka nahelehele.
• Loaʻa iā lākou ka mana kupaianaha e hana hou i nā ʻāpana kino i nalowale, me nā lālā a me ke kuamoʻo.
• Ua ʻike ʻia nā Tiger salamanders no ko lākou hiki ke ola i nā mahana anuanu ma o ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻano antifreeze i loko o ko lākou kino.
• ʻO ka nui loa o ka tiger salamander, ka Eastern tiger salamander, hiki ke ulu a hiki i 13 iniha ka lōʻihi.
• He ʻala maikaʻi loa ko Tiger salamanders, kahi a lākou e hoʻohana ai e ʻimi i ka mea ʻai.
• ʻO lākou kekahi o nā amphibian liʻiliʻi i hiki ke hana i nā leo, e hana i kahi kani kani.
• Hiki ke loaʻa nā Tiger salamanders ma nā kiʻekiʻe mai ka ʻilikai a hiki i 11,000 kapuaʻi.
• Hiki i kekahi mau ʻano tiger salamander ke hoʻohua i ka wā e noho ana i ko lākou pae larval, kahi hoʻolālā hoʻohua kūʻokoʻa i kapa ʻia ʻo neoteny.
• Hiki i nā Tiger salamanders ke hoʻololi i ko lākou kala e hui pū me ko lākou puni, e hāʻawi iā lākou i ka camouflage kūpono.
• Loaʻa iā lākou kahi manaʻo homing ikaika a hiki ke hoʻi i ka pae hoʻohua like i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

Ka hopena: ʻO ke ao hoihoi o Tiger Salamanders

ʻO ka Tiger salamanders he mau mea hoʻohiwahiwa e hoʻopio i ko mākou noʻonoʻo me ko lākou mau ʻano kino kūʻokoʻa, nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole, a me ke kuleana koʻikoʻi i nā kaiaola. Mai ko lākou helehelena maikaʻi a hiki i ko lākou hiki ke hana hou i nā ʻāpana kino i nalowale, ua loaʻa i kēia mau amphibian ko lākou wahi ma ke ʻano he mea kupanaha o ke ʻano. Eia naʻe, hoʻoweliweli ʻia ko lākou ola ʻana e nā kumu like ʻole, e hoʻoikaika ana i ke koʻikoʻi o nā hana mālama. Ma ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana a me ka mahalo i ka honua hoihoi o nā tiger salamanders, hiki iā mākou ke hana i ka hōʻoia ʻana i ko lākou ola lōʻihi a mālama i nā kaiaola a lākou e noho ai.
