He holoholona holo ka ʻīlio, ʻaʻole ʻo ia ka wikiwiki loa a mākou i ʻike ai, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo kekahi o nā mea hoʻomanawanui loa. Ua kōkua pū kona ikaika i nā kānaka i ko lākou ulu ʻana. Ma ke ʻano he hoa hilahila, ma ke ʻano he holoholona huki pono, he hoa hahai holoholona ʻoiaʻiʻo, a ma ke ʻano he ʻīlio mālama mālama - no nā kaukani makahiki, ua hele pū ka ʻīlio i nā kānaka ma kā lākou hele wāwae ma waena o nā steppes maloʻo, nā ululāʻau paʻa, ka hau hoʻokipa, a me nā mauna hiki ʻole ke hele. Ma hope mai noho ihola ʻo ia a mālama i ka hale a me ka pā. I kēia lā, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻīlio: he hoaaloha, he mea mālama ola, he mea hōʻoluʻolu, he mea lapaʻau, a he lālā piha o ka ʻohana. ʻO ka mea i koe, ʻo ia kona ʻano kumu mua mai ka wā prehistoric - e holo, holo, holo.
No kēia, pono ka ʻīlio i ka puʻuwai ikaika a olakino. I nā ʻīlio olakino, e hahau ana ma kahi o 60 manawa i ka minuke, 3,600 manawa i ka hola, 86,400 manawa i ka lā, a i ʻole 31,536,000 mau manawa i ka makahiki. ʻO nā ʻīlio liʻiliʻi ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka uaki ʻelua. I ka awelika o ke ola o ka ilio, aia ma mua o 300 a 600 miliona ka puuwai. Hoʻolilo kēia i ka puʻuwai i ka pauma ikaika loa i haku ʻia. Akā hiki iā ia ke hele i waho o ka pae.
ʻAʻole maʻamau ka maʻi puʻuwai i nā ʻīlio, ʻo kēlā me kēia ʻumi ʻīlio i nānā ʻia. Hiki i nā hōʻailona mua ke luhi a me ka pōkole o ka hanu me ka hoʻoikaika iki. ʻO ka maʻamau a maʻa mau maʻi puʻupuʻu ʻo ia ke kumu nui o ka naʻau o nā ʻīlio. Hoʻopili pū ʻia kēia maʻi me nā ʻōhumu puʻuwai pathological i hiki i ka mea lapaʻau ke ʻike, no laila he mea nui ka hoʻokolokolo maʻamau.
ʻAʻole hiki i ka ʻīlio i hāʻule i ka maʻi ke hana hou i hoʻokahi haneli pakeneka. Me ka lāʻau lapaʻau a me kahi papahana lapaʻau, akā naʻe, hiki ke maʻalahi kona ola. Mahalo i ka lāʻau lapaʻau lāʻau hou, hiki i kahi ʻīlio me ka maʻi puʻuwai ke hiki i kahi makahiki maʻamau no nā ʻīlio. ʻAʻole hiki ke hele lōʻihi e like me ka wā kahiko, akā ʻo ka "hele" maikaʻi i kēlā me kēia lā ma ka papahana o kēlā me kēia lā no nā ʻīlio nāwaliwali naʻau.
