Introduction: Understanding Squirrel Habitats

He ʻiʻo liʻiliʻi ka squirrels, ʻike ʻia a puni ka honua. Ua ʻike ʻia lākou no ko lākou neʻe wikiwiki a me ka maʻalahi, ʻike pinepine ʻia i ka piʻi ʻana i nā kumulāʻau a lele mai kekahi lālā a i kekahi lālā. He mea hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia ka squirrels a hiki ke noho ma nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ʻano o ka squirrel kona makemake ponoʻī no kahi noho e hāʻawi ai iā lākou i ka meaʻai, ka wai, ka pūnana, a me ka pale ʻana mai nā mea ʻaihue.

He mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka noho ʻana o ka squirrel no ka mālama ʻana a me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke kaiaola o kēia mau mea hoihoi. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i nā ʻano noho kūlohelohe o nā squirrels a me nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole e noho ana iā lākou.

Nā Nahele: ʻO ka Home Preferred of Squirrels

ʻO nā ululāʻau kahi noho maʻamau o nā squirrels. Hāʻawi lākou i nā lāʻau like ʻole no ka piʻi ʻana a me ka pūnana, a me nā ʻano hua like ʻole o nā nati, nā ʻanoʻano, a me nā huaʻai no ka ʻai. Hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia nā squirrels i nā ʻano ululāʻau like ʻole, mai nā wao ua nui a hiki i nā ululāʻau deciduous a i nā nahele coniferous boreal.

Hiki ke loaʻa nā ʻano squirrels ma nā ʻano ululāʻau like ʻole. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻike ʻia ka squirrel hina hikina ma nā ululāʻau deciduous ma ka hikina ʻo ʻAmelika ʻAmelika, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula i loaʻa i nā ululāʻau coniferous ma ʻEulopa a me Asia. ʻO ka ululāʻau kahi wahi noho nui no nā squirrels, a pono e hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā hana mālama i ka pale ʻana i kēia mau kaiaola.

Nā Nahele Kūleʻa: He kūpono no nā Squirrels Lele

ʻO nā squirrels lele he ʻano ʻano like ʻole o ka squirrel hiki ke lele i ka lewa me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻili o ka ʻili ma waena o ko lākou mau wāwae. Nocturnal lākou a makemake lākou e noho i nā ululāʻau deciduous, kahi i nui ai nā kumulāʻau no ka pūnana a me ka holo ʻana. Loaʻa nā squirrels lele ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, ʻEulopa, a me ʻAsia a he ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ia o ka kaiaola kaiaola.

ʻO nā ululāʻau deciduous kahi home no nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe, e like me ka hikina hina hina, fox squirrel, a me ka ʻeleʻele. Ke hilinaʻi nei kēia mau squirrels i ka nui o nā nati a me nā hua i loaʻa i loko o nā kumulāʻau no ka ʻai.

ʻO nā ululāʻau Coniferous: ʻO ka Home o nā Squirrels ʻulaʻula

ʻO ka ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula kekahi ʻano o ka lāʻau squirrel e noho ana i nā ululāʻau coniferous ma ka ʻākau o ʻEulopa a me Asia. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o nā squirrel hina a he ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula ka hulu. Hoʻololi ʻia nā ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula e noho i nā ululāʻau coniferous, kahi e hānai ai lākou i nā hua o nā pinecones.

ʻO nā ululāʻau Coniferous kahi home no nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe, e like me ka Douglas squirrel a me ka Abert's squirrel. Ua hoʻololi kēia mau squirrels i ka noho ʻana i loko o nā ululāʻau paʻa o nā lāʻau pine a me nā lāʻau kaʻa a hilinaʻi i nā hua a me nā cones o kēia mau kumulāʻau no ka ʻai.

Nā Wahi Kūlanakauhale: ʻO ka noho ʻana o nā moho

Ke hoʻomau nei ka ulu ʻana o nā kūlanakauhale, ua lilo nā wahi kūlanakauhale i wahi noho maʻamau no nā squirrels. Ua hoʻololi maikaʻi nā Squirrels i nā kaona o ke kaona, kahi e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai a me ka malu ma nā paka, nā māla, a ma nā alanui o ke kūlanakauhale.

ʻO nā squirrels hina ka mea maʻamau i loaʻa ma nā kūlanakauhale, akā hiki ke loaʻa nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, e like me ka fox squirrels a me nā ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula, ma nā kūlanakauhale. ʻOiai ke hāʻawi aku nei nā wahi kaona i kahi noho ʻana i nā squirrels, pono nā hana mālama i ka mālama ʻana i nā wahi kūlohelohe e hōʻoia i ke ola lōʻihi o kēia mau mea ola.

ʻO Woodlands: Ka Noho Kūlohelohe o nā Squirrels Hina

ʻO nā squirrels hina ka mea maʻamau i loaʻa i nā ululāʻau ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. He mau mea hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia a hiki ke noho i nā ʻano wahi ulu lāʻau like ʻole, me nā ululāʻau deciduous a me nā coniferous.

Hāʻawi ʻo Woodlands i nā squirrel hina me nā kumu meaʻai like ʻole, me nā acorns, nati hickory, a me nā hua lāʻau ʻē aʻe. Kūkulu ʻia nā pūnana hina, i kapa ʻia ʻo dreys, i loko o nā kumulāʻau no ka malu a me ka pale.

Meadows & Fields: The Habitat of Ground Squirrels

He ʻano ʻano squirrel e noho ana ma nā kula a me nā kula. Hoʻololi ʻia lākou i ka noho ʻana ma ka ʻāina, kahi e ʻeli ai i nā lua no ka malu a me ka pale. ʻAi nā squirrels honua i nā mauʻu, nā ʻanoʻano, a me nā ʻōpala i loaʻa ma nā kula a me nā kula.

Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole o nā squirrels honua ma nā wahi noho like ʻole, e like me ka ʻīlio prairie, i loaʻa ma nā mauʻu o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau, a me ka marmot ʻōpū melemele, aia ma nā mauna mauna o ke komohana ʻĀkau ʻAmelika.

Nā Ana a me nā Pōhaku: Ka Nohona o Chipmunks

He ʻano liʻiliʻi ʻo Chipmunks e noho ana i loko o nā ana a me nā pōhaku. Hoʻololi ʻia lākou i ka noho ʻana i nā wahi noho pōhaku, kahi e loaʻa ai ka malu ma nā māwae a me nā māwae.

ʻAi ʻo Chipmunks i nā ʻanoʻano, nā nati, a me nā pepeke i loaʻa i ko lākou wahi noho. He ʻāpana koʻikoʻi lākou o ka kaiaola ma nā wahi pōhaku, e hāʻawi ana i ka meaʻai no nā mea ʻaihue e like me nā hawks a me nā nahesa.

ʻĀina Wai: ʻO ka noho ʻana o nā Squirrels aloha wai

Noho ʻia nā ʻupena aloha wai, e like me ka lele lele hema a me ka ʻai ʻai wai i nā wahi wai. Hoʻololi ʻia kēia mau squirrels e noho kokoke i ka wai, kahi e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai a me ka hale.

Hāʻawi ka wetlands i nā squirrels me nā kumu meaʻai like ʻole, me nā huaʻai, nā huaʻai, a me nā inike. Hāʻawi lākou i wahi noho no nā ʻano holoholona ʻē aʻe, e like me nā beavers, muskrats, a me nā manu wai.

Nā Mauna: Ka Nohona o nā Alpine Squirrels

ʻO ka Alpine squirrels kekahi ʻano o ka squirrel e noho ana ma nā wahi noho mauna. Hoʻololi ʻia lākou i ka noho ʻana ma nā wahi kiʻekiʻe, kahi e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai a me ka malu ma ka ʻāina pōhaku.

Hiki ke loaʻa nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole o ka alpine squirrels ma nā wahi noho mauna like ʻole, e like me ka marmot hoary, i loaʻa ma ka mauna alpine o ke komohana ʻĀkau ʻAmelika, a me ka chipmunk Siberian, i loaʻa ma nā mauna o Rūsia hikina.

Deserts: The Habitat of Desert Squirrels

ʻO nā squirrels wao nahele, e like me ka antelope ground squirrel a me ka squirrel pōhaku, noho i nā wahi noho wao nahele. Hoʻololi ʻia kēia mau squirrels i ka noho ʻana i nā wahi wela a maloʻo, kahi e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai a me ka malu ma ka ʻāina pōhaku.

ʻAi nā squirrels wao nahele i nā ʻanoʻano, nā huaʻai, a me nā pepeke i loaʻa i ko lākou wahi noho. He ʻāpana koʻikoʻi lākou o ka kaiaola ma nā wahi wao nahele, e hāʻawi ana i ka meaʻai no nā mea ʻaihue e like me nā coyotes a me nā ʻaeto.

Ka hopena: Ka mālama ʻana i nā noho ʻana o Squirrel

He ʻāpana koʻikoʻi ka squirrels o ke kaiaola, e pāʻani ana i kahi hana koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻopuehu ʻana i nā hua a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka meaʻai no nā mea ʻaihue. He mea koʻikoʻi ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka nohona kūlohelohe o nā squirrels no ka mālama ʻana a me ka pale ʻana i kēia mau mea ola no nā hanauna e hiki mai ana.

Pono e hoʻoikaika i ka mālama ʻana i nā wahi kūlohelohe, e like me nā ululāʻau, nā kula, a me nā ʻāina wai, kahi e ulu ai nā squirrels. Hiki i nā wahi kūlanakauhale ke hāʻawi i kahi noho no nā squirrels, akā pono e hoʻoikaika ʻia e hōʻemi i ka hopena o ke kūlanakauhale ma nā wahi kūlohelohe. Ma ka pale ʻana i nā wahi kūlohelohe o nā squirrels, hiki iā mākou ke hōʻoia i ke ola ʻana o kēia mau mea hoihoi no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
