Ma nā zoos a me nā hale kūʻai holoholona hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike pinepine i nā honu e mālama ʻia i loko o ka loko. Me nā loko kīhāpai maʻamau, akā naʻe, he kiʻi laha loa kēia. He koho maikaʻi loa ia no nā holoholona e hoʻolimalima i nā mahina kau wela ma waho. I ka manawa like, he mea leʻaleʻa iā ʻoe ma ke ʻano he kahu e hiki ke hāʻawi i kāu mau holoholona liʻiliʻi i kahi "holo" kūpono.
Palekana: Pa & Pakele
ʻO ka mea mua, i ka mālama ʻana i nā honu i loko o ka loko iʻa kīhāpai, e hōʻoia ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke pakele. ʻElua kumu. Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, pale ʻia ka honu mai ka holo ʻana, ka pōloli, a me ka make hau. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, pōmaikaʻi pū ia i kā mākou kaiaola kūlohelohe. Inā komo ka “honu hale” i loko o ka loko iʻa maoli, ua nalo koke nā pepeke pono a me nā ʻuala amphibian a ua pōʻino pū nā meakanu loko.
ʻAʻole lawa ka pā liʻiliʻi ma ke ʻano he pā: i kekahi manawa he poʻe kiʻi piʻi maoli ka honu. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻili maʻemaʻe a hiki i ke kiʻekiʻe o 50cm. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi nā pā liʻiliʻi, nā pōhaku, a i ʻole nā palisades. Kākau pū kekahi poʻe mea hale i kā lākou helu kelepona ma ka pūpū o ka honu me kahi peni kūpono ʻole. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai ke hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka honu iā ʻoe inā puka ia.
He aha nā mea e pono ai nā honu?
I ke kūkulu ʻana i loko, pono e noʻonoʻo ʻia he ʻokoʻa nā pono o ka honu ma mua o ka iʻa gula. ʻO nā wahi wai pāpaʻu a hiki i 20 knm ke kiʻekiʻe he mea nui. Maʻaneʻi e wela koke ka wai, kahi e makemake ai ka honu e leʻaleʻa i ka lā a pau. No laila, pono e loa'a i ka wai pāpa'u ka nui o ka lā a noho ma luna o 2/3 o ka ili loko.
Akā makemake ʻia kahi ʻāpana me ka wai hohonu. He hoʻokahi mika ka hohonu o kēia. E hōʻoia ana ʻaʻole e piʻi nui ka piʻi ʻana o ka wela a he wahi puʻuhonua nō hoʻi ia i ka wā e manaʻo ai nā honu.
No ka mea, he koko anu nā honu, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua like ka mahana o ko lākou kino me ka mahana o waho, makemake lākou i ka lā lōʻihi. Ma waho aʻe o nā wahi wai pāpaʻu, kūpono nā wahi lā ma ʻaneʻi. No ka laʻana, he pōhaku a i ʻole kahi kumu lāʻau liʻiliʻi e puka mai ana mai ka wai. Inā pono, hiki iā ia ke hāʻule koke i loko o ka wai i ka wā e hiki mai ana ka pilikia. A inā he kau wela, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ke kukui, no ka laʻana, kahi kukui halogen waho, no ka wela hou aʻe.
He mea koʻikoʻi nā mea kōkua piʻi no nā mea lawe pale kaua, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke anuanu. He laumania paha ka loko loko i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokō iā ʻoe iho. No ke kōkua ʻana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kahi puka me nā moena pulu niu a i ʻole kahi ʻāpana lahilahi o ke kaila. Hāʻawi kēia mau ʻili ʻōpala i kāna ʻeke lawa.
Inā makemake ʻoe e loaʻa nā mea kanu i loko o kou loko honu, pono ʻoe e hoʻomanaʻo i ka makemake nui o nā honu e ʻai i nā mea kanu wai. ʻAʻole lākou e kū i nā lilia wai. ʻO kekahi ʻano ʻano mea liʻiliʻi e hoʻouka i nā mea kanu ʻo ia ka honu loko iʻa ʻEulopa. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka hana ʻana i loko i kanu ʻia.
Inā makemake ʻoe e mālama i nā honu i loko o ka māla no kekahi mau mahina, pono e kūkulu ʻia kahi hale kōmaena ma luna o ka loko iʻa (ma ka hapalua paha). ʻO kēia kahi e hōʻiliʻili ai ka ea mahana a hiki i kekahi mau ʻano e hibernate. Eia naʻe, he hihia kūikawā kēia a makemake nui i ka ʻike loea.
Nā mea'ē aʻe
ʻAʻole paʻakikī ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona i loko o ka loko. No ka mea ua lawa lākou i ka ʻai ʻana i nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu i loko o ka wai, pono lākou e hānai ʻia i ka wā wela loa. Pono ʻoe e kūʻai mau i nā mea kanu wai hou inā makemake lākou i meaʻai (he ʻono maikaʻi ka honu). He ala maikaʻi nō hoʻi ka hānai ʻana i nā holoholona. I loko o ka loko iʻa, hilahila hou nā moʻo kāhiko no ka mea mālama ʻia i waho. ʻO ia ke kumu e lawe ai ʻoe i ka manawa i hui pū ʻia nā mea a pau.
Nīnau pinepine ʻia ka nīnau inā hiki ke mālama pū ʻia ka honu me ka iʻa. ʻO ka pane: ʻae a ʻaʻole! Maikaʻi maoli lākou me nā iʻa ʻili pōkole e like me ka iʻa gula a i ʻole koi, akā ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī me nā iʻa liʻiliʻi. Eia hou, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopoina i ka hui pū ʻana me nā rana a me nā newts, ʻoiai e hoʻouka nā moʻo i kā lākou ʻōpio. Ma keʻano laulā, ʻo ka pilikia nui ʻo ia nā koi ʻokoʻa o ka loko: ʻO ka ʻāpana wai pāpaʻu, kahi i makemake nui ʻia e nā honu, he mea make ia no nā iʻa he nui, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hopu ʻana o nā pōpoki a me nā herons i kahi iʻa mai ka loko.
ʻO kahi mea koʻikoʻi hope ka neʻe ʻana mai ka aquarium i ka loko. ʻAʻohe pane maopopo i kēia nīnau no ka mea e hilinaʻi mau ana i ka lewa. E like me ke kānāwai maʻamau, pono e hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā honu i ka wā e like ai ka mahana o ka loko iʻa me ka loko wai i noho ai lākou "i loko". A laila ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻololi hou. Eia naʻe, pono ʻoe e hoʻokuʻu wale i nā keiki liʻiliʻi inā lōʻihi lākou ma kahi o 10cm a laila hoʻopaʻa i ka loko iʻa me kahi ʻupena no ka pale.
