ʻO ka ilo mālie he moʻo. Ma ʻEulopa waena, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea kolo maʻamau. He nui ka poʻe e huikau me ka nahesa: ʻaʻohe wāwae o ka ilo lohi a ua like ke kino me ka nahesa. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa nui, ʻo ia ka hiki ke haki ka huelo o ka anulo me ka ʻole o ka pōʻino.
ʻOiai kona inoa, hiki ke ʻike maikaʻi i ka ilo lohi. He 50 kenimika ka lōʻihi o nā holoholona. He mau unahi ko lakou ma ka ili kino. Hana ʻia lākou me kahi mea like me ko mākou mau manamana lima a i ʻole nā pepeiao bipi. He ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula ka waihoʻoluʻu a me ke keleawe.
Noho ʻo Slowworms ma ʻEulopa a pau koe nā wahi hema loa a me ka ʻākau loa. Hiki lākou i ke kiʻekiʻe o 2,400 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai. Noho lākou ma nā wahi maloʻo a me ka pulu koe wale nō nā ʻauwai a me ka wai. I ka hoʻoilo, hāʻule lākou i loko o ke anuanu, pinepine pū me nā holoholona.
Pehea e ola ai nā ʻīlio makapō?
ʻAi nui nā ʻūhini i nā slugs, earthworms, a me nā enuhe lauoho ʻole, akā ʻo nā ʻūhini hoʻi, nā pipi, nā aphids, nā ʻanuʻu, a me nā ʻūhini liʻiliʻi. No laila makemake nui ʻia nā ilo lohi i nā mahiʻai a me nā māla.
He nui nā ʻenemi i ka ʻiʻo lohi: ʻai nā ʻoʻo, nā ʻōpae maʻamau a me nā moʻo i nā holoholona ʻōpio. ʻO nā nahesa like ʻole, akā ʻo nā ʻalopeke, nā ʻino, nā pāpaʻa, nā puaʻa ʻāhiu, nā ʻiole, nā pueo, a me nā manu ʻai like ʻole e ʻai i nā ilo makapō makua. ʻO nā pōkiʻi, nā ʻīlio, a me nā moa kekahi e alualu iā lākou.
Ma kahi o 12 pule mai ka male ʻana a hiki i ka hānau ʻana. A laila hānau ka wahine i ʻumi paha keiki. He ʻumi kenimika ka lōʻihi akā aia nō i loko o ka ʻili hua. Akā, pahee koke lākou mai laila aku. Pono lākou e ola i 3-5 mau makahiki ma mua o ko lākou oʻo ʻana.
I kekahi manawa, pepehi ʻia ka ilo e ke kanaka no ka makaʻu i nā nahesa. Mālama ʻia ka moʻo ma nā ʻāina ʻōlelo Kelemania: ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopilikia, hopu a pepehi paha. ʻO ko lākou ʻenemi nui ʻo ia ka mahiʻai o kēia wā no ka mea, nalo ka ilo lohi i kona wahi noho. He nui no hoi na ilo makapo e make ma ke alanui. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻoweliweli ʻia e pau.
