He mea kolo ka nahesa. He ʻili maloʻo kou me nā unahi. Noho lākou ma ka ʻāina a me ka wai a ʻike ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa koe wale nō ka Arctic a me Antarctic a i ʻole ma ka ʻākau loa. Ma kahi i ʻoi aku ke anu, moe lākou.
Aia ma kahi o 3,600 mau ʻano nahesa like ʻole. No ka laʻana, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia e like me ka mea ʻawaʻawa a i ʻole. Hiki ke ʻokoʻa ka nui o nā nahesa. I ka wā ma mua, ua ʻōlelo kekahi no nā nahesa nunui. I kēia lā, ʻike mākou, ʻaʻole lākou pili i kekahi i kekahi, akā nui wale nō.
He koko anu nā nahesa, ʻo ia hoʻi, e loli ana ka mahana o ko lākou kino ma muli o ka wela o waho. Ke anu, moe lākou a hiki ʻole ke neʻe. No laila, noho ka hapa nui o nā ʻano nahesa ma nā wahi wela wela o ʻApelika, ʻAsia, a me ʻAmelika. He mau ʻano nahesa wale nō ma ʻEulopa Waena. Me he nahesa la ke ano o ka ilo malie, aole nae he nahesa.
He pōʻino ka nahesa akā ikaika nō hoʻi. ʻO ia ke kumu i lilo ai lākou i hōʻailona o nā mea like ʻole i ka mōʻaukala. Ma ʻAigupita kahiko, aia kekahi akua nahesa. Ma ka Baibala, ua hoʻowalewale kekahi nahesa iā ʻAdamu lāua ʻo Eva, no laila pono lākou e haʻalele i ka paradaiso. Ma India, he nahesa i hana nui i ka hana ʻana i ka honua. Ma Kina, ʻo ka nahesa ka hōʻailona o ka maʻalea, akā no ka hoʻopunipuni. Mālama ka Aboriginal Rainbow Serpent i ke ʻano, ʻoi aku ka wai.
Pehea ke kino o ka nahesa?
ʻAʻole like me nā moʻo a me nā crocodiles, akā naʻe, he mau wāwae ko nā nahesa a paheʻe ma ko lākou ʻōpū. He mau iwi ʻokoʻa wale nō ko lākou iwi: ʻo ka iwi poʻo me ka iwi ā luna, ka iwi ā lalo, 200 a ʻoi aku ka 400 iwi iwi, a me nā iwi ʻaoʻao. He koena liilii wale no o ke pelvis, aohe poohiwi iki.
Hanu nā nahesa me hoʻokahi akemāmā a loaʻa ka ʻōnaehana kaʻa. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi ma mua o nā mammals. ʻAʻole ulu ka ʻili me ia. No laila pono nā nahesa e hoʻokahe i ko lākou ʻili i kēlā me kēia manawa. I kekahi manawa, ua ʻōlelo ʻia: "Heʻe ʻoe i waho o kou ʻili". Hiki ke loaʻa nā ʻili nahesa maloʻo i kēlā me kēia manawa.
Ke kuhikuhi nei nā niho a pau i hope i hiki i ka nahesa ke moni i kāna mea pio i ka ʻāpana hoʻokahi. ʻAʻohe ona niho e like me kā mākou mola no ka ʻoki ʻana i ka meaʻai. ʻElua mau niho o nā nahesa make me kahi ala e hiki ai iā lākou ke hoʻokomo i ka lāʻau make i loko o kā lākou mea pio. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā nahesa he mau niho ma ke alo o nā ʻauwae, akā i kekahi manawa ma waena.
Hiki i nā nahesa ke honi maikaʻi me ko lākou ihu a ʻono maikaʻi hoʻi me ko lākou alelo i hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa kā lākou mea pio. Akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike maikaʻi. ʻOi aku ka ʻino o kā lākou lohe. Akā hiki iā lākou ke manaʻo maikaʻi loa ke haʻalulu ka honua. A laila, holo maʻamau lākou i kahi peʻe. No laila, inā kū koke ʻoe i mua o ka nahesa ma ke ʻano maoli, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e ʻuā iā ia, akā e hehi i kou mau wāwae i ka honua e holo ai ka nahesa.
Pehea ka nahesa e hahai ai a ai?
ʻO nā nahesa āpau he mau mea ʻaihue a ʻai i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe a i kā lākou hua paha. Ke kali nei ka hapa nui o nā nahesa no ka hoʻokokoke ʻana mai o ka ʻai. A laila, neʻe lākou me ka māmā uila a nahu i kā lākou mea i pepehi ʻia. E hoʻokuʻu a ʻimi nā nahesa ʻino i kā lākou mea pio i kona luhi a make. ʻO ka poʻe hoʻopaʻapaʻa, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, e hihia lākou i ke kino o ka mea pio a laila e ʻomi ikaika loa i mea e ʻai ai i ka ea a maule. ʻAi ola nā nahesa ʻē aʻe i kā lākou ʻai.
ʻImi nui nā nahesa liʻiliʻi i nā pepeke. Lawe nā nahesa liʻiliʻi i nā ʻiole e like me nā ʻiole a i ʻole nā lapeti, a me nā rana, nā manu, a me nā nahesa liʻiliʻi. Akā, ʻai pū lākou i nā hua. Huli nā nahesa nui i ka puaʻa ʻāhiu a me nā holoholona nui like ʻole, inā ʻaʻole, he ʻōpio lākou.
Ale na nahesa a pau i ka lakou pio. Hiki iā lākou ke wehe i ko lākou ʻāwae lalo a moni i nā holoholona ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o lākou. Ma hope o kēlā, hele pinepine lākou i nā pule me ka ʻai ʻole.
Pehea e hanau ai na nahesa?
I nā ʻāina hoʻopalekana, pili nā nahesa i kekahi manawa o ka makahiki. Ma nā wahi anu, hana lākou ma hope o ka hibernation, pēlā i ka pūnāwai. Ma laila wale nō e ʻimi ai nā kāne i ka wahine, no ka mea, i ʻole, noho mehameha lākou. Makemake nā kāne Viper e hakakā ma luna o ka wahine, ʻo nā kāne ʻē aʻe e pale aku kekahi i kekahi.
Loaʻa i nā kāne kekahi mea e like me kahi peni liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia he "hemipenis". Me kēia, lawe ia i kāna mau sperm cell i loko o ke kino o ka wahine. Ma waena o ʻelua a me 60 mau hua a laila e ulu aʻe i loko o ka ʻōpū o ka wahine, e hilinaʻi nui ana i kēlā me kēia ʻano nahesa.
ʻO ka hapa nui o nā nahesa e waiho i kā lākou mau hua ma kahi malu. He liʻiliʻi loa nā ʻano nahesa mehana a pale paha i kā lākou mau hua. ʻO ka hapa nui e waiho ʻia i kā lākou mau mea ponoʻī. ʻOiai ma hope o ka hānai ʻana, ʻaʻole mālama ʻia nā ʻōpio e ko lākou mau mākua.
ʻO ka mea hoʻohui, no ka laʻana, he ʻokoʻa. Noho ʻo ia ma nā wahi anu a mālama i kāna mau hua i loko o kona ʻōpū. Ma laila lākou e hānai ai a hānau ʻia me he mau nahesa lā.
ʻO wai nā nahesa e noho pū me mākou?
Noho ka mea ʻawaʻawa ma nā ʻāpana o Switzerland, Kelemānia, a me Austria. He mea ʻawaʻawa nō hoʻi ka ʻawaʻawa. Eia naʻe, aia wale lākou ma ka Black Forest, ma ke komohana o Switzerland, a ma kekahi mau wahi ma ke komohana ʻo Austria.
ʻOi aku ka maʻamau o nā nahesa make ʻole. Loaʻa iā mākou ka nahesa maʻemaʻe, ka nahesa Aesculapian, ka nahesa dice, a kaulana loa, ka nahesa mauʻu. Ma nā wahi liʻiliʻi loa ma Switzerland, hiki iā ʻoe ke hālāwai me ka nahesa viper.
Owai na nahesa nui loa?
ʻO ka mea mua: paʻakikī loa ka ʻike ʻana i ka nahesa nui loa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ana i ka lōʻihi a i ʻole ke kaumaha. Hana pinepine ʻoe i nā mea ʻelua, he paʻakikī loa.
Ma muli o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā nahesa lōʻihi a kaumaha paha i loaʻa iā ʻoe. He mea like ia me ka "mea paʻa moʻolelo" o kēlā me kēia ʻano. Akā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohālikelike i ka waiwai mean. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, e ana ʻoe i kekahi helu o nā nahesa i loaʻa ʻole a koho i ka waena.
A laila pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo inā e ola mau ana ka nahesa i kēia lā a i ʻole ua pau ia a ke ana ʻoe i kahi petrifaction wale nō. He ʻokoʻa loa nā hopena. Ma ka ʻāpana aʻe, hiki i nā mea a pau ke hoʻohālikelike iā lākou iho.
ʻO nā ʻohana o nā boa a me nā python he pili kekahi i kekahi, ʻo ia hoʻi nā ʻohana o ka moʻo a me ka moʻo.
No ka laʻana, no ka ʻohana boas ka "anaconda nui" mai ʻAmelika Hema. He mea hōʻemi ʻo ia. Ma ka awelika, piʻi a hiki i 4 mau mika ka lōʻihi a he 30 kilokani kona kaumaha. Eia naʻe, ʻōlelo ʻia kekahi a hiki i 9 mika ka lōʻihi a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha ma luna o 200 kilokani. ʻO kekahi mōʻalihaku, ʻo ka Titanoboa, he 13 mika ka lōʻihi. ʻO ke kaumaha o ka nahesa holoʻokoʻa ma luna o 1,000 kilokani wale nō.
Noho nā python i nā ʻāina hoʻokalakupua o ʻApelika a me ʻAsia. He poe constrictors kekahi. ʻO ka python reticulated mai ʻAsia kekahi o nā mea nui loa i waena o lākou. Hiki i nā wāhine ke ulu a hiki i 6 mika ka lōʻihi a me ke kaumaha ma kahi o 75 kilokani. Noho pōkole a māmā nā kāne. ʻO kahi ʻokoʻa, hiki i kahi python reticulated ke ulu i 10 mika ka lōʻihi.
ʻAʻole ʻawaʻawa nā mea hoʻohui a ʻai ola i kā lākou mea pio. Aia he 1,700 mau ʻano o lākou, a ma ʻaneʻi kekahi o lākou. ʻO ka nahesa mauʻu ka mea kaulana loa. Ua kaulana loa mai keia ohana ka nahesa rattles ma Amerika Akau a me Amerika Hema.
ʻO nā moʻo ʻawaʻawa kokoke i nā mea hoʻohui. He mea make lākou. ʻO kahi huaʻōlelo kahiko no "viper" ʻo "otter". ʻO ia ke kumu i loaʻa iā mākou ka mea hoʻohui. Akā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e huikau iā lākou, no ka laʻana me ka otter. He marten a no laila he mammal.
