ʻIke nā pōpoki i kēlā me kēia hanu o ka ea, lohe i ka ʻūhū liʻiliʻi a loaʻa ko lākou ala i ka pōʻeleʻele. ʻO ka naʻau o kāu pōpoki ʻoluʻolu loa.
ʻO ka loheʻana
He lohe maikaʻi ko kā mākou mau pōpoki. Me ke alapine o 60 kHz, ʻaʻole lākou i ʻoi aku ma mua o mākou i nā kānaka akā ʻo nā ʻīlio pū kekahi.
Ma luna o nā mea a pau, hiki i nā pōpoki ke ʻike maikaʻi i nā alapine waena a me nā alapine kiʻekiʻe a no laila hiki iā ia ke lohe i kēlā me kēia ʻiole e uwē ana a ʻenehe paha i loko o ka ululāʻau, ʻoiai ʻaʻohe o ka mālie. Hiki ke kuhikuhi ʻia ke kumu o ka walaʻau me ka ʻike ʻole.
Ua kōkua ʻia kēia e nā ʻiʻo he nui i loko o nā pepeiao ʻano pepeiaohao o ka pōpoki, e ʻae ana i kēlā me kēia pepeiao e hoʻololi kūʻokoʻa ma kahi kokoke i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao. Ma kēia ala, loaʻa i nā wāwae velvet kahi kiʻi kikoʻī, ʻekolu-dimensional o ko lākou puni, ʻoiai i ka pōʻeleʻele.
No laila, hiki i nā leo leo hou ke hoʻokau i kāu pōpoki ma lalo o ke kaumaha nui. No ka laʻana, inā hele mai kahi pēpē i ka hale, hoʻololi loa ka honua o ka pōpoki. No laila e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kāu pipi i ke kūlana hou ma mua.
koena
Ua hūnā ʻia kekahi mea ʻē aʻe i loko o ka pepeiao o loko o kāu pōpoki: ka vestibular apparatus. ʻO ia ke kuleana no ke kaulike a ua aʻo maikaʻi ʻia i ka piʻi ʻana a me ka lele. Hāʻawi hilinaʻi ia i nā pōpoki i nā kūlana āpau i ka mea i luna a me ka mea i lalo.
Ma muli o ke kino kūikawā o nā kitties, e like me ko lākou huelo, mālama lākou i ko lākou kaulike ma kēlā me kēia hele wāwae paʻa a pae maluhia ma ko lākou mau wāwae ʻehā ma hope o ka lele ʻana a hāʻule paha.
Pono ʻoe e hoʻopau i kēia mau pōʻino no nā pōpoki i loko o ka hale.
maka
I ka malamalama ʻālohilohi, hāiki ka haumāna o ka pōpoki i kahi ʻāpana haiki. Hiki iā ia ke ʻike maopopo ma kahi mamao ma waena o ʻelua a me ʻeono mika. A ʻaʻole hoʻi i hoʻomohala maikaʻi ʻia ka ʻike kala. ʻIke nā pōpoki i ka uliuli a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka ʻulaʻula mai ka melemele.
Hoʻokumu nā pōpoki i ko lākou ikaika maoli o ka ʻike i ka pōʻeleʻele. I kēia manawa, hoʻonui ka haumāna a hiki i ka 90 pakeneka o ka ʻāpana maka. Hāʻawi kēia i ka nui o ka mālamalama e hāʻule i ka retina.
ʻO kekahi mea ʻē aʻe: ʻo ka "tapetum lucidum", kahi papa hoʻohālike ma hope o ka retina. Hōʻike ia i ka mālamalama hanana a ma kēia ala e hiki ai iā ia ke hele i loko o ka retina i ka lua o ka manawa. ʻAe kēia i nā pōpoki e ʻike maikaʻi i loko o ka mea i ʻike ʻia he pōʻeleʻele loa.
ʻOi aku ka nui o ka ʻike maka o nā pōpoki ma mua o ko ke kanaka: Ma muli o ke kūlana o nā maka i ka maka, hiki i ka pōpoki ke ʻike i 120 degere ma ke ākea a koho maikaʻi i nā mamao ma kēia wahi. Ma waho o kēia kihi, hiki iā ia ke ʻike i nā degere 80 hou aʻe i kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao ma nā ʻāpana ʻelua, a ʻike i ka neʻe ʻana o nā mea pio a i ʻole nā ʻenemi.
Ka honi
ʻO ka mea hiki ke lohe a ʻike maikaʻi, ʻaʻole ia e hilinaʻi hou i ko lākou honi. ʻO ia ke kumu e hoʻohana mua ai nā pōpoki i ko lākou mau ihu liʻiliʻi e kamaʻilio me nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe.
I ka hui pū ʻana me ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo Jacob's organ, aia ka wehe ʻana ma ka palate o ka pōpoki, hiki i nā holoholona ke loiloi i nā mea kemika a no laila e ʻike ai i ke kāne a i ʻole ke kūlana hormone o nā mea ʻē aʻe. He mea hauʻoli loa hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana iā ia e honi i ka hāpai ʻana i kā lākou kanaka.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole maikaʻi nā ihu o nā pōpoki, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ko lākou pilau ma mua o ke kanaka a hoʻohana i ka pilau e nānā i kā lākou meaʻai.
manaʻo ʻono
Hoʻohana nui ʻia ka manaʻo o ka ʻono e ʻike i nā waikawa amino holoholona i loko o ka ʻiʻo. Hiki i nā wāwae velvet ke hoʻokaʻawale i waena o ka paʻakai, ka ʻawaʻawa, a me ka ʻawaʻawa, akā ʻaʻole ʻono lākou i ka ʻono.
Me ka huina o 9,000 mau mea ʻono, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kanaka ma mua o nā pōpoki me kahi kokoke i 500 mau ʻono.
hoopa aku
Hāʻawi ka Whiskers i nā pōpoki i kahi manaʻo kū hoʻokahi. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka ʻumiʻumi lōʻihi a ʻoʻoleʻa a puni ka waha akā ma luna o nā maka, ma ka ʻauwae, a ma hope o nā wāwae mua.
Hoʻopaʻa ʻia lākou i loko o ka ʻili a he nui nā aʻalolo ma ke aʻa lauoho. ʻO nā mea hoʻopā liʻiliʻi loa e ʻike ʻia i loko o ka pōʻeleʻele. Hiki i ka puahiohio o ka ea ke aʻo aku i nā pōpoki no ka pōʻino a i ʻole kōkua iā lākou e ʻimi i ko lākou ala a puni a hahai.
Manaʻo kuhikuhi
ʻAʻole i haʻi mai nā pōpoki iā mākou i kahi mea huna o ko lākou mau manaʻo hoihoi: Nui nā manaʻo e pili ana i ke ʻano maikaʻi o ke alakaʻi ʻana i nā wāwae velvet, ʻaʻohe mea i hōʻike ʻia i kēia manawa.
Ke hoʻohana nei lākou i ke kahua mākēneki o ka honua, ke kūlana o ka lā, a i ʻole ko lākou ʻike leo a me ka hoʻopili ʻana o nā mea a lākou e ʻike ai a lohe ai e hoʻonohonoho pono iā lākou iho? A hiki i kēia manawa, he mea pohihihi ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pōpoki i ke ala kūpono i ka home ma kahi lōʻihi.
Makemake mākou iā ʻoe a me kāu pōpoki i ka maikaʻi loa!
