He amphibians ka toads, ie vertebrates. ʻO ka toads, rana, a me ka toads nā ʻohana rana ʻekolu. Ua ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o ka toad ma mua o nā rana a ʻoi aku ka pōkole o nā wāwae hope. ʻO ia ke kumu ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke lele, akā e holo i mua. Ua maloʻo kona ʻili a ua ʻike ʻia nā warts. Hāʻawi kēia iā lākou e hūnā i ka lāʻau make e pale iā lākou iho mai nā ʻenemi.
Loaʻa nā toads kokoke i nā wahi a pau o ka honua. Ua nele loa lakou ma kahi o ke anu. Pono ko lākou wahi noho maʻu, no laila makemake lākou i nā ululāʻau a me nā wahi puʻu. Akā, manaʻo lākou i ka home ma nā paka a me nā māla. ʻOi loa ko lākou ʻeleu i ka pō a i ke ahiahi no ka mea ʻalo lākou i ka lā.
ʻO nā ʻano mea maʻamau i ko mākou mau ʻāina ʻo ia ka toad maʻamau, ka toad natterjack, a me ka toad ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Noho ka pale keiki ma nā wahi o Sepania, Farani, Switzerland, ma kahi wahi liʻiliʻi o Kelemānia akā ʻaʻole ma Austria a ma ka hikina.
He aha ka mea e ʻai ai ka toads a he aha nā ʻenemi iā lākou?
ʻAi ka toads i nā ilo, nā snails, spiders, insects, a me nā holoholona liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. No laila, hoʻokipa ʻia lākou ma nā kīhāpai. ʻOiai ka lāʻau ʻawaʻawa ma ko lākou ʻili, he nui nā ʻenemi o nā toads makua: nā pōpoki, martens, hedgehogs, snake, herons, manu ʻai, a me kekahi mau holoholona ʻē aʻe i makemake e ʻai i ka toads. Aia nā ʻōpuʻu ma ka papa inoa o nā iʻa he nui, ʻoi aku ka iʻa, perch, a me ka pike.
Akā, ua hoʻopilikia ʻia ka toads e nā kānaka. He nui ka poe i holo ma na alanui. No laila, kūkulu ʻia nā pūnana toad ma nā wahi kūikawā. A i ʻole kūkulu nā kānaka i nā pā lōʻihi me nā pahele toad, ʻo ia nā bākeke i kanu ʻia i ka lepo. I ka pō, hāʻule nā koʻo i laila, a i ke kakahiaka aʻe e lawe nā mea kōkua aloha iā lākou ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke alanui.
Pehea e hoohua ai ka toads?
Hiki ke lohe ʻia nā ʻōkoʻa kāne i ke kani ʻana ma mua o ka male ʻana, e like me nā rana. Hōʻike lākou ua mākaukau lākou e mare. I ka male ʻana, pili ke kāne liʻiliʻi i ke kua o ka wahine nui. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa hiki ke lawe ʻia i loko o ka wai e like me kēia. Ma laila e waiho ai ka wahine i kāna mau hua. A laila hoʻokuʻu ke kāne i kāna mau sperm cell. Hana ʻia ka fertilization i ka wai.
E like me nā rana, kapa ʻia nā hua he spawn. ʻO ka ʻōpuʻu o nā toads e kau pū ana i nā kaula e like me ke kaula momi. Hiki iā lākou ke lōʻihi he mau mika. I ka wā o ka hoʻohua ʻana, ʻauʻau ka toads i loko o ka wai a ʻōwili i nā kaula hoʻohua a puni nā mea kanu wai. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka pale keiki kane e hoʻopaʻa i nā kaula hoʻohua a puni kona mau wāwae, no laila kona inoa.
Hoʻoulu ʻia nā tadpoles mai ka spawn. Nui nā poʻo a me nā huelo. Hāpai lākou i ko lākou ʻōpū e like me ka iʻa. Ulu lākou i nā wāwae a pōkole ka huelo a nalowale loa. A laila, hele lākou i uka e like me nā toads i ulu pono a hanu i ko lākou mau māmā.
