He ʻano ʻokoʻa nui ka Orangutans e like me nā gorila a me nā chimpanzees. No nā mammals lākou a ʻo lākou ka pili pili loa o ke kanaka. Ma ke ʻano, noho lākou ma nā mokupuni nui ʻelua ma Asia: Sumatra a me Borneo. ʻEkolu ʻano ʻano ʻalani: ʻo Bornean orangutan, Sumatran orangutan, a me Tapanuli orangutan. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "orang" ʻo ia hoʻi "man", a ʻo ka huaʻōlelo "utan" ʻo ia hoʻi "ka ululāʻau". ʻO ka hui pū ʻana, loaʻa kēia i kahi mea e like me "Forest Man".
He ʻelima kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi o nā Orangutans mai ke poʻo a lalo. Hiki i nā wahine ke 30 a 50 kilokani, ʻo nā kāne ma kahi o 50 a 90 kilokani. He lōʻihi loa ko lākou mau lima a ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o ko lākou mau wāwae. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kino o ka orangutan no ka piʻi ʻana i nā kumulāʻau ma mua o ke kino o nā gorillas a me nā chimpanzees. He ʻulaʻula ʻeleʻele ka hulu o ka Orangutans a ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula me ka lauoho lōʻihi. Loaʻa i nā kāne ʻelemakule nā puʻupuʻu mānoanoa ma ko lākou mau papalina.
Pilikia loa nā Orangutans. ʻO ke kumu nui: ke lawe nei ka poʻe i nā wahi noho hou aʻe mai o lākou ma ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana i ka ululāʻau no ka mea hiki ke kūʻai ʻia ka lāʻau i nā kumu kūʻai kiʻekiʻe. Akā, makemake nā kānaka e kanu i nā mahiko. Ua ʻoki ʻia ka nui o nā ululāʻau kahiko, ʻoi aku hoʻi no ka ʻaila pāma. Makemake nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo orangutan a i ʻole mālama i kahi ʻōpio ʻōpio ma ke ʻano he holoholona. ʻO ka poʻe noiʻi, poachers, a me nā mākaʻikaʻi ke hoʻopili nei i ka nui a me ka nui o nā orangutans me nā maʻi. Hiki i kēia ke lilo i ke ola o nā orangutans. ʻO ko lākou ʻenemi maoli ma luna o nā tiger Sumatran a pau.
Pehea ka noho ʻana o nā orangutans?
Huli mau nā Orangutans i kā lākou ʻai ma nā kumulāʻau. ʻOi aku ka hapalua o kā lākou meaʻai he hua. ʻAi pū lākou i nā hua, nā lau, nā pua, a me nā ʻanoʻano. Ma muli o ko lākou ikaika a kaumaha, ua maikaʻi loa lākou i ke kulou ʻana i nā lālā i lalo iā lākou me ko lākou mau lima ikaika a ʻai mai ia mau mea. ʻO kā lākou meaʻai pū kekahi me nā iniseti, nā hua manu, a me nā vertebrates liʻiliʻi.
He maikaʻi loa ka poʻe Orangutans i ka piʻi ʻana i nā kumulāʻau. ʻAʻole lākou e hele i ka honua. He pōʻino loa iā lākou ma laila no nā tigers. Inā pono lākou e hele i ka lepo, ma muli o ka mamao loa o nā kumulāʻau. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole kākoʻo nā orangutans iā lākou iho me nā manamana lima ʻelua ke hele e like me nā gorillas a me nā chimpanzees. Kākoʻo lākou iā lākou iho ma ko lākou mau lima a ma ka ʻaoʻao o loko o ko lākou mau lima.
Ala ka poʻe Orangutan i ke ao a hiamoe i ka pō, e like me ke kanaka. No kēlā me kēia pō, kūkulu lākou i pūnana lau hou ma luna o ka lāʻau. Kakaʻikahi lākou e hiamoe ʻelua i ka lālani ma ka pūnana hoʻokahi.
Noho nui nā Orangutans iā lākou iho. ʻO kahi ʻokoʻa ka makuahine me kāna mau keiki. Hele pū kekahi mau wāhine ʻelua i ka ʻimi ʻai. Ke hui nā kāne ʻelua, hoʻopaʻapaʻa pinepine lāua i kekahi manawa.
Pehea e hānau hou ai nā orangutans?
Hiki ke hana hou i ka makahiki a puni. Akā, hiki wale nō inā loaʻa i nā holoholona ka lawa e ʻai ai. Hana ʻia ka male ʻana ma nā ʻano ʻelua: Hoʻoikaika ka poʻe kaʻa hele i ka moekolohe me ka wahine, i kapa ʻia i loko o ke kanaka he kolohe. Eia nō naʻe, aia nō hoʻi ka male ʻana i ka wā e noho ai ke kāne ma kona ʻāina ponoʻī. He like ka nui o nā ʻōpio ma nā ʻano ʻelua.
ʻEwalu mahina ka lōʻihi o ka hāpai ʻana. ʻO ia ka lōʻihi o ka hāpai ʻana o ka makuahine i kāna keiki i loko o kona ʻōpū. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, hānau wale ʻo ia i hoʻokahi keiki i ka manawa. He kakaikahi loa na mahoe.
Hoʻokahi a ʻelua kilokani paha ke kaumaha o kahi pēpē orangutan. A laila inu ʻo ia i ka waiū mai ka u o kona makuahine no kahi o ʻekolu a ʻehā makahiki. I ka mua, pili ke keiki i ka ʻōpū o kona makuahine, a ma hope, holo ma kona kua. Ma waena o nā makahiki ʻelua a ʻelima, hoʻomaka ke keiki e piʻi a puni. Akā, hele lōʻihi loa ia a hiki i kona makuahine ke ʻike iā ia. I loko o ia manawa, aʻo ʻo ia i ke kūkulu pūnana a laila ʻaʻole moe hou me kona makuahine. Ma waena o nā makahiki ʻelima a me ʻewalu, ʻoi aku ka mamao mai kona makuahine. I loko o kēia manawa, hiki i ka makuahine ke hāpai hou.
Pono nā wāhine ma kahi o ʻehiku mau makahiki ma mua o ka hānau ʻana o nā orangutans iā lākou iho. Eia naʻe, ma kahi o 12 mau makahiki ma mua o ka hānau ʻana. ʻO ka maʻamau ma kahi o 15 mau makahiki i ka wā e moe mua ai nā kāne. ʻAʻole lōʻihi ka lōʻihi no nā ʻoki nui ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia hoʻi kekahi kumu i pilikia nui ai ka poʻe orangutan. He ʻelua a ʻekolu keiki keiki wale nō ka nui o nā orangutans wahine i ko lākou ola ʻana.
Noho ʻo Orangutans ma kahi o 50 mau makahiki ma ka nahele. I loko o ka zoo, hiki ke 60 makahiki. Ma nā zoo, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā holoholona i ke kaumaha ma mua o ka nahele.
