He mea kolo ka honu. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ma waena o nā honu a me nā honu, ola kekahi o lākou i ka wai maʻemaʻe a ʻo kekahi i ka wai paʻakai. Hiki i ka honu ke ola a hiki i 100 makahiki, a ʻoi aku ka ʻoi o ka honu nunui.
ʻAi nui nā honu i nā lau nahele. I ka noho pio ʻana, hiki ke hānai ʻia i ka letus a i kekahi manawa i nā hua a i ʻole nā mea kanu. Makemake nā honu kai i ka hee, ka pāpaʻi, a i ʻole ka iʻa i mea ʻai. ʻAi nā ʻano mea e noho ana i loko o ka wai maʻemaʻe i nā mea kanu, nā iʻa liʻiliʻi, a i ʻole nā ʻōpala o nā inike.
He holoholona koko anu ka honu, a no laila, ʻeleu loa i ka wā mahana. I ka hoʻoilo, moe lākou no ʻekolu a ʻehā mahina ma kahi mahana o ʻehā degere Celsius. I kēia manawa hoʻomaha lākou a ʻaʻole ʻai i kekahi mea.
Hoʻohua nā honu i ke kauwela. ʻEli ka wahine i lua me kona mau wāwae hope e waiho ai i kāna mau hua. Kanu ʻia nā hua a paʻa i ka lepo e ka wela o ka lā. ʻAʻole mālama hou ka makuahine. No kekahi mau ʻano ʻano, ʻo ia wale nō ka mahana hoʻopuʻu e hoʻoholo ai i ka hāʻule ʻana o nā honu kāne a wahine paha. Ma keʻano he precocial, aia koke lākou iā lākou iho. ʻO lākou wale nō ke ola ma hope.
Pehea e ulu ai ka pahu?
I ka evolution, ua ulu ka pale kaua mai nā iwi ʻaoʻao. He pale pepeiaohao ma luna ona. I kekahi mau kuhukukū, hāʻule mālie nā papa pepeiaohao waho e hoʻohou, ʻoiai e ulu ana nā papa hou ma lalo. I nā honu ʻē aʻe, ʻike ʻia nā apo makahiki, e like me nā mea i loko o kahi kumu lāʻau. Ma nā ʻano ʻelua, ulu ka pūpū me ka holoholona ʻōpio.
Ma muli o ka pūpū, ʻaʻole hiki i ka honu ke hanu e like me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻonui i ka umauma ke hanu ʻoe a hāʻule hou i ka hina ke hanu ʻoe. Hoʻō ka honu ma ka ʻō ʻana i nā wāwae ʻehā i waho. ʻO kēia ka mea e hoʻonui ai ka māmā a omo i ka lewa. No ka exhale, huki iki ʻo ia i kona mau wāwae i hope.
He aha nā moʻolelo no nā honu?
ʻO ka honu ma waena o nā holoholona hiki ke ola i nā makahiki ʻoi loa. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka honu Helene wale nō ka mea i hiki i ka awelika o ʻumi makahiki ma ke ʻano. Noho pinepine nā honu kai i 75 mau makahiki a ʻoi aʻe paha. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ka honu kāne Adwaita ka mea mua loa. Ua make ʻo ia ma kahi zoo ma India i ka makahiki 256. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole maopopo loa kona mau makahiki.
Hiki i nā ʻano like ʻole ke ʻano nui o ke kino. I ka nui, he ʻumi a he kanalima kenimika wale nō ka lōʻihi o ka pūpū. ʻO nā honu nunui ma nā mokupuni ʻo Galapagos e hoʻonui i ka mika. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o nā honu kai. ʻO ka lōʻihi lōʻihi e hiki i ka lōʻihi o ka pūpū o ʻelua mika a me kanalima kenimika a he 900 kilokani kona kaumaha. ʻO kekahi o ia ʻano honu kai ʻili ʻili i holoi ʻia ma ke kahakai ma Wales me ka lōʻihi o 256 kenimika. He 916 kilokani kona kaumaha. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o kahi moe a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha ma mua o kahi kaʻa liʻiliʻi.
He maikaʻi loa nā honu kai i ka luʻu. Hana lākou i kahi hohonu o 1500 mika. ʻO ka maʻamau, pono lākou e piʻi mai e hanu. Akā, nui nā ʻano ʻano he ʻōhū ma ka cloaca, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ka puka lalo. Hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa ka oxygen mai ka wai. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi me nā honu musk. Loaʻa iā lākou nā lua kūikawā ma ko lākou ʻāʻī a lākou e hoʻohana ai e kiʻi i ka oxygen mai ka wai. ʻAe kēia iā lākou e noho i lalo o ka wai no ʻekolu mahina i ka wā hibernation.
Pilikia anei ka Honu?
Mālama maikaʻi ʻia nā honu makua e ko lākou pūpū. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo nā alligator a me nā moʻo kāhiko he nui i ka pōʻino iā lākou. Hiki iā lākou ke nahā i ka pahu me ko lākou mau āwae ikaika.
ʻOi aku ka pilikia o nā hua manu a me nā ʻōpio. Haʻalele nā ʻalopeke i nā pūnana. Hāpai nā manu a me nā pāpaʻi i nā honu hou ʻia i ke ala i kai. Akā makemake nui ka poʻe e ʻai i nā hua manu a i ʻole nā holoholona ola. Nui nā honu i ʻai ʻia ma mua, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka Pōʻalima. Hoʻopili ka poʻe kai moana ma nā mokupuni a me nā kahakai me nā honu nunui. I kēia mau lā, nui nā holoholona ʻōpio i hopu ʻia i ka nahele a hana ʻia i holoholona.
Nui nā honu i make i nā mea ʻawaʻawa i hoʻohana ʻia i ka mahiʻai. Hoʻololi ʻia ko lākou mau wahi noho maoli i ʻāina mahiʻai a no laila ua nalowale iā lākou. Ua ʻoki nā alanui i ko lākou mau wahi noho a keakea i kā lākou hana hou ʻana.
Nui nā manu kuhukukū i make i ka ʻai ʻana i ka plastic. Ua like nā ʻeke ʻeke i ka iʻa i nā honu, makemake lākou e ʻai. ʻO ia a make paha lākou no ka mea e ulu ana ka plastic i loko o ko lākou ʻōpū. ʻO ka mea ʻino, ʻo ka pohō ʻana o ka honu make i loko o ka wai, e hoʻokuʻu ana i ka palaka a make hou aku nā honu.
Ua hiki mai ke kōkua ma 1975 ma o ka Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. ʻO kēia kuʻikahi ma waena o nā mokuʻāina he kaohi a pāpā ʻole paha i ke kālepa ʻana i nā ʻano mea ʻino. Ua hoʻomaha kēia. I nā ʻāina he nui, ua kūpaʻa nā ʻepekema a me nā mea manawaleʻa e hana i nā hoʻomaikaʻi. No ka laʻana, pale lākou i nā pūnana me nā kaola i nā alopeke a i ʻole e uhi iā lākou a puni ka uaki i nā holoholona a me nā mea hao kanaka. I Kelemānia, no ka laʻana, ua hoʻokomo hou lākou i ka honu loko iʻa maoli.
