Introduction to the Brown Water Snake

ʻO ka Nahesa Wai Brown, i ʻike ʻia i ka ʻepekema ʻo ʻO Nerodia taxispilota, he ʻano nahesa make ʻole no ka ʻohana Colubridae. Hoʻolaha nui ʻia ia ma ka ʻaoʻao hema o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e noho nui ana i nā wahi wai maʻemaʻe e like me nā swamps, marshes, nā muliwai, a me nā loko. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia ʻano no kona ʻano maʻalahi a ʻike pinepine ʻia e ʻauʻau i ka lā a i ʻole e ʻauʻau ana i nā wai pāpaʻu. Hāʻawi ka inoa ʻepekema o ka Brown Water Snake i ka ʻike koʻikoʻi e pili ana i kāna ʻauhau, hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, a me nā pilina evolutionary.

ʻO ka ʻauhau a me ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o ka nahesa wai palaka

ʻO ka Nahesa Wai Brown kekahi lālā o ke aupuni holoholona (Kingdom Animalia), ka phylum Chordata, ka papa Reptilia, a me ke kauoha Squamata. I loko o ke kauoha Squamata, aia ia i ka suborder Serpentes, nona nā ʻano nahesa āpau. ʻO ka ʻohana Colubridae, nona ka Brown Water Snake, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻohana nahesa nui loa a me nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole. Hoʻokaʻawale nā ​​kānaka ʻauhau i nā ʻano ʻano ma muli o nā ʻano like like, ka ʻike genetic, a me nā pilina evolutionary, a kōkua kēia ʻike i nā ʻepekema e hoʻomaopopo i ke ʻano o ka ʻano i loko o ka lāʻau o ke ola.

ʻO ka ʻano a me nā ʻano o ka nahesa wai ʻulaʻula

ʻO ka inoa ʻepekema ʻo Brown Water Snake, ʻO Nerodia taxispilota, hāʻawi i nā ʻike i kona ʻano a me kona ʻano. ʻO ka genus Nerodia kekahi mau ʻano nahesa wai i loaʻa ma ʻAmelika ʻĀkau. ʻO ka epithet "taxispilota" e pili ana i ke ʻano hiʻohiʻona o ka nahesa he ʻeleʻele, ʻeleʻele nā ​​hōʻailona ma kona kino, e like me kahi ʻōpala. Kōkua kēia ʻano hoʻohālike i ka Brown Water Snake e hoʻopololei iā ia iho i waena o nā mea kanu i kona wahi noho. ʻO ka inoa ʻepekema e hiki ai i nā ʻepekema a me nā mea noiʻi ke ʻike pono a aʻo i kēia ʻano.

Ka mahelehele honua o ka nahesa wai palau

He kanaka maoli ka Brown Water Snake ma ka hikina hema o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi e loaʻa ai ma nā mokuʻāina e like me Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, a me Mississippi. Aia kona laula mai ka moana ʻAkelanika a hiki i ke Kaiwa o Mekiko. I loko o kēia ʻāina, noho ka nahesa i nā ʻano wai like ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi nā muliwai, nā loko, nā puʻu, a me nā pā. ʻO ka hiki i ka Brown Water Snake ke hoʻololi i nā kaiapuni like ʻole i kōkua i kona hoʻolaha ākea ma ka hema hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.

Noho a me ka Ecology o ka Nahesa Wai Brown

ʻO ka Brown Water Snake ka mea nui i ka wai, e noho ana i nā kaiaola wai maʻemaʻe. Makemake ʻo ia i nā kino wai me ka nui o nā mea kanu, no ka mea, hāʻawi kēia i nā manawa kūpono no ka ʻauʻau, peʻe, a me ka hahai holoholona. Hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻia kēia nahesa no ke ʻano ola wai, loaʻa nā unahi keeled e kōkua ai i ka ʻauʻau ʻana a me ka puka ihu valvular e hiki ai iā ia ke hanu i kahi hapa o ka wai. ʻO ka Brown Water Snake kahi ʻano mehameha, ʻike pinepine ʻia e peʻe ana ma waena o nā mea kanu wai a i ʻole e hoʻopaʻa ʻia ana ma nā wahi pōhaku. ʻO ka nui o kāna meaʻai he iʻa, amphibians, a me nā mammals liʻiliʻi.

Nā ʻano kino o ka nahesa wai ʻeleʻele

ʻO ka nahesa wai ʻeleʻele he nahesa liʻiliʻi kona nui, ma waena o 2 a 4 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi. He kino paʻa kona me ke poʻo mānoanoa a me ke ʻano hiʻohiʻona ʻokoʻa o ka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele a i ʻole ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula blotches ma kahi māmā. ʻO nā unahi o ka Brown Water Snake ua kiele, ʻo ia hoʻi, he kualono ko lākou e holo ana ma ke kikowaena, e hāʻawi ana i ka huki hou ʻana i ka wai. He mau haumana poepoe ko keia ano a me ka papa anal hookahi, e hookaa ana ia ia mai na nahesa make he mau haumana elliptical a maheleia na papa anal.

ʻO ka hana a me ka hana hou ʻana o ka nahesa wai ʻeleʻele

ʻO ka Brown Water Snake ka mea maʻamau i ka lā, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hana nui i nā hola o ke ao. He ʻano make ʻole ia, e hilinaʻi ana i ka constriction e hoʻopau i kāna mea pio. Ke hoʻoweliweli ʻia, hiki i ka Brown Water Snake ke hoʻoluliluli i kona huelo, hoʻopuka i kahi ʻala ʻala, a palahalaha paha i kona kino i mea nui. I ka wā male, ka mea maʻamau i ka pūnāwai, komo nā kāne Brown Water Snakes i ka hakakā no ka hoʻokūkū no nā kāne. Hānau nā wāhine i nā'ōpiopio ola, ma mua o ka hoʻomoeʻana i nā hua. Hiki ke kiʻekiʻe mai ka 10 a hiki i ka 50 mau keiki, ma muli o nā kumu e like me ka makahiki a me ka nui o ka wahine.

ʻAi a me ka hanai ʻana o ka nahesa wai ʻeleʻele

ʻO ka Brown Water Snake he ʻano mea ʻai ʻai me nā iʻa, amphibians, a me nā mea momona liʻiliʻi. He mea hānai manawaleʻa ia a e ʻai i nā mea pio kūpono e hālāwai ai. Hoʻohana kēia nahesa i kona ʻike a me kona hiki ke ʻike i nā haʻalulu i loko o ka wai e ʻimi ai i nā meaʻai. I ka hahai ʻana i ka iʻa, e kali hoʻomanawanui ʻo Brown Water Snake i kahi hoʻohālua ma kahi kokoke i ka lihi o ka wai, e hahau koke a moni i kāna mea pio. ʻO kona ʻāʻī ikaika a me kona kino ʻiʻo e ʻae iā ia e lanakila a ʻai i ka mea pio i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o kona poʻo ponoʻī.

ʻO nā mea ʻaihue a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli i ka nahesa wai ʻulaʻula

ʻOiai ʻaʻole ia he mea make, ʻo ka Brown Water Snake ke kū nei i nā mea ʻaihue a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli i kona wahi kūlohelohe. ʻO nā manu lele, e like me nā herons a me nā ʻaeto, he mea weliweli nui ia i nā ʻōpio a me nā pākeke. Eia hou, hiki i nā ʻano nahesa nui, e like me ka Eastern Ratsnake, ke hopu i ka Brown Water Snake. ʻO ka nalo ʻana a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana o ka noho ʻana ma muli o nā hana a ke kanaka, e like me ke kūlanakauhale a me nā hana mahiʻai, he hopena maikaʻi ʻole hoʻi i ka heluna kanaka o ka nahesa. Hiki i ka haumia a me ka hoʻokomo ʻia ʻana o nā ʻano mea ʻino i loko o kona wahi noho ke hoʻopau hou i ke koena paʻakikī o kēia ʻano kaiaola.

Ke kūlana mālama o ka nahesa wai ʻulaʻula

Ua helu ʻia ʻo Brown Water Snake ma ke ʻano he ʻano o "Least Concern" e ka International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). ʻOiai ke alo nei i nā hoʻoweliweli kūloko, ua ʻae ʻia ka laha ākea o ka ʻano a me ka hiki ke hoʻololi i nā wahi noho like ʻole e mālama i nā heluna ola. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka nānā ʻana i nā ʻano o ka heluna kanaka, nā hana mālama ʻana i ka noho ʻana, a me ka pale ʻana i nā kaiaola wai maʻemaʻe he mea koʻikoʻi ia no ke ola lōʻihi o ka Brown Water Snake.

ʻO ke koʻikoʻi o ka nahesa wai ʻeleʻele i loko o nā kaiaola

He kuleana koʻikoʻi ka Brown Water Snake i nā kaiaola e noho ai. Ma ke ʻano he pōʻai kiʻekiʻe, kōkua ia i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka heluna kanaka o kāna mau mea pio, e like me ka iʻa a me nā amphibians, e mālama ana i kahi kaiaola kaulike. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka hele ʻana o ka nahesa e hoʻololi i ka ʻano a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe, no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke pale aku i nā wahi i ʻike ʻia e noho ai ka Brown Water Snake. Ma ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke kuleana kaiaola o ka Brown Water Snake, hiki i nā ʻepekema ke hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi i ka pilina o nā ʻano mea a me ke koʻikoʻi o ka mālama ʻana i nā mea olaola.

Ka Manaʻo Manaʻo: ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka inoa ʻepekema o ka nahesa wai ʻulaʻula

ʻO ka inoa ʻepekema o ka Brown Water Snake, ʻO Nerodia taxispilota, hāʻawi i ka ʻike koʻikoʻi e pili ana i kāna ʻauhau, ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, a me nā pilina evolutionary. ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka inoa ʻepekema o ka Brown Water Snake e hiki ai i nā ʻepekema a me nā mea noiʻi ke ʻike pono a aʻo i kēia ʻano. Me kona laha ākea ma ka ʻaoʻao hema hema o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, he kuleana koʻikoʻi ka Brown Water Snake i nā kaiaola wai piha ma ke ʻano he predator apex. He mea nui ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka mālama ʻana no ka mālama ʻana i ke ola lōʻihi o kēia ʻano nahesa make a me ka mālama ʻana i ke koena o kona wahi noho.
