He aha ke ʻano o nā honu pilikua Seychelles?
Aia nā honu nunui Seychelles i ka papa o nā mea kolo. Aia lākou i ka ʻohana honu a me ka ʻohana honu. Loaʻa iā lākou ke kino maʻamau o nā honu a pau: ʻo nā wāwae ʻehā, ka ʻāʻī, a me ke poʻo wale nō e puka mai ma lalo o ka pūpū ikaika. ʻO ka carapace he convex, ākea, a ʻeleʻele ke kala.
Ma ka nahelehele, he 100 a 120 kenimika ka lōʻihi o nā honu Seychelles kāne, a hiki i ka 150 kenimika kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā wahine a hiki i ka 80 kenimika wale nō. ʻO nā holoholona makua nui loa a hiki i 250 kilokani. Hiki wawe ka ulu ana o na holoholona a hiki i ka 40 makahiki, a ma ia hope iho, mahuahua malie ka nui.
Ma hea kahi e noho ai nā honu pilikua Seychelles?
ʻOiai ua laha nui ko lākou mau kūpuna, ʻike ʻia nā honu nunui Seychelles ma nā mokupuni ʻo Seychelles a me Mascarene. Aia nā mokupuni kaulana ʻo Mauritius a me La Réunion. Aia ʻo Seychelles a me nā mokupuni ʻo Mascarene ma ka moana ʻĀina ma ka ʻākau a me ka hikina o ka mokupuni ʻo Madagascar. Ma ka nahelehele, ʻike ʻia nā honu nunui Seychelles ma ka Aldabra Atoll, nona Seychelles.
Ma nā mokupuni ʻē aʻe, ua hoʻopau ʻia nā holoholona no ka mea kaulana loa lākou i nā kānaka i mea ʻai. Ua lawe ʻia nā honu nunui ʻē aʻe o Seychelles i nā mokupuni ʻē aʻe a noho semi-wild ma laila, noho kekahi i nā zoo. Noho nā honu nunui o Seychelles i nā mauʻu i ulu nui ʻia e nā lāʻau lele. He poe noho lepo wale no lakou.
He aha nā ʻano honu nunui Seychelles ma laila?
He 39 mau ʻano ʻano like ʻole ka ʻohana honu. Ua laha lakou a puni ka honua. No ka mea, ʻo nā honu, e like me nā mea kolo a pau, he holoholona koko anu, aia wale lākou ma nā piʻi wela. ʻO nā honu nunui, ʻelua wale nō ʻano i ola a hiki i ko mākou manawa: ma waho aʻe o ka honu pilikua Seychelles, ʻo ia ka honu pilikua ʻo Galapagos, e noho wale nei ma nā mokupuni ʻo Galapagos. Aia kēia mau mokupuni ma kahi o 1000 kilomita ma ke komohana o ʻAmelika Hema ma ka Moana Pākīpika.
ʻEhia mau makahiki o nā honu pilikua Seychelles?
Hiki i nā honu pilikua Seychelles ke ola a hiki i 200 mau makahiki - lilo lākou i holoholona me ka lōʻihi o ke ola. Ua ʻike ʻia i ka makahiki 1777 ua loaʻa i ka Mōʻīwahine o Tonga kahi honu nunui Seychelles makua ma ke ʻano he makana. Noho kēia holoholona ma laila a hiki i ka makahiki 1966, ʻo ia hoʻi he 189 mau makahiki.

Pehea ka noho ʻana o nā honu pilikua Seychelles?
Ua noho mua nā kūpuna o nā honu pilikua Seychelles ma ka honua ma kahi o 200 miliona mau makahiki i hala i ka manawa o nā dinosaurs. Mai ia manawa, ua loli iki ke ola o nā pilikua.
He lohi loa nā holoholona lā. Holo lākou a puni i ka wikiwiki o hoʻokahi kilomita i kēlā me kēia hola a nui ka manawa e ʻai ai i ka mauʻu a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe. No ka hiki ʻole iā lākou ke hoʻoponopono i ka wela o ke kino, hoʻi lākou i nā wahi malu i ka wela o ke awakea e mālama i ko lākou kino mai ka wela.
No ka mea he liʻiliʻi wale nā kumu lāʻau e hāʻawi ai i ka malu ma Seychelles, nui nā honu ma lalo o nā kumulāʻau a i ʻole nā niches pōhaku. I kekahi manawa aia lākou ma luna o kekahi. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻohe pili pili o nā holoholona i kekahi i kekahi akā he mehameha. ʻAʻohe o lākou mau ʻāina paʻa.
He pilikua maluhia loa nā honu pilikua Seychelles. ʻAʻole hiki mai ka hakakā ma waena o nā holoholona. I ke ahiahi moe nā honu ma ko lākou wahi. ʻAʻohe o lākou mau wahi kūikawā e moe ai. ʻAʻole like me nā ʻano honu ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻokomo i ko lākou mau poʻo a me nā wāwae ma lalo o ko lākou mau pūpū ke hiamoe lākou, i ʻole, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hanu pono.
ʻO nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻenemi o ka honu pilikua Seychelles
He liʻiliʻi nā ʻenemi o nā honu nunui Seychelles makua ma ka nahelehele. Nui nā kumu i aneane pau ai lākou: I nā kenekulia mua, ua ʻimi nui nā luina iā lākou no ka mea he mau holoholona ola lākou i lawelawe ʻia ma nā moku ma ke ʻano he "meaʻai".
I ka hiki ʻana mai o nā ʻīlio, nā pōpoki, nā ʻiole, a me nā puaʻa i nā mokupuni me ka poʻe e noho ana ma ʻEulopa, ua nui nā hua manu, a me nā holoholona ʻōpiopio i make iā lākou. Ua lilo nā kao i mea hoʻokūkū no ka ʻai mea kanu liʻiliʻi. He hana maʻamau nō hoʻi ia ma nā mokupuni ʻo Mascarene ka hāʻawi ʻana i kēlā me kēia kaikamahine hānau hou i honu hou. Ua ulu kēia a ua pepehi ʻia i ka male ʻana o ke kaikamahine. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole i loaʻa kēia maʻamau i kēia lā.
Pehea e hānau ai nā honu pilikua Seychelles?
Hoʻoulu hou nā honu nunui Seychelles i ka wā ua ma waena o Nowemapa a me ʻApelila. I ka wā o ka male ʻana, hōʻike koke mai nā holoholona mālie ʻē aʻe i ke ʻano: ʻoliʻoli nui nā kāne a hoʻopuka i nā leo ʻino a hiki ke lohe ʻia ma kahi o hoʻokahi kilomita.
Ma waena o Mei a me ʻAukake, ʻimi nā wahine i kahi ʻāina hoʻohua kūpono a ʻeli i lua i ka lepo me ko lākou mau wāwae hope. Ma laila lākou e waiho ai he ʻelima a 25 mau hua, ua like ka nui me ka pōleʻa tennis. A laila ʻohi lākou i ka pūnana me ka lepo me ko lākou mau wāwae a mālama. Ma hope o 120 a 130 mau lā, hāʻule ka pēpē honu.
ʻO ke ʻano o ka honu wahine a i ʻole kane mai ka hua manu e pili ana i ka wela o ka lepo: inā he ʻano mahana, ʻo nā wahine i puka; inā ʻoi aku ka maʻalili, ulu nā kāne. I ka wā mua, noho nā ʻōpiopio hou i ko lākou pūnana lepo. A laila ʻeli lākou i ko lākou ala i ka ʻili o ka honua. Kūʻokoʻa nā keikikāne i ka hoʻomaka. Ua oʻo wale lākou i ka wahine ma ka makahiki 20 a 30 mau makahiki.
Pehea e kamaʻilio ai nā honu pilikua Seychelles?

ʻAʻole inu nā honu nunui Seychelles me ko lākou waha akā ma ko lākou ihu. He hoʻololi kēia i kahi noho maloʻo. No ka mea, ʻaʻohe kahawai a i ʻole nā loko ma ʻaneʻi a kahe koke ka wai ua, hiki i nā holoholona ke komo i ka wai liʻiliʻi loa mai nā māwae o ka pōhaku ma ko lākou mau puka ihu.
