Introduction: ʻO ka hihia Curious o nā Tiga ma ʻApelika

ʻO nā tigers kekahi o nā pōpoki nunui nui loa o ka honua, i ʻike ʻia no ko lākou ʻano ʻalani a me ka ʻeleʻele a me ke kūkulu ikaika. Eia naʻe, ʻoiai ko lākou laha nui ʻana, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia nā tigers mai kekahi o nā ʻāina nui loa o ka honua: ʻApelika. Ua alakaʻi kēia i nā mea he nui e noʻonoʻo i ke kumu i loaʻa ʻole ai nā tigers ma ʻApelika a he aha nā mea i hoʻopili ai i ko lākou haʻalele ʻana.

ʻO ka pane i kēia nīnau he nui nā ʻano a pili i ka hui ʻana o ka mōʻaukala evolutionary, ka noho ʻana a me ke aniau, ke keakea ʻana o ke kanaka, ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea pio, a me ka hoʻokūkū me nā pōpoki nui ʻē aʻe. ʻOiai e like paha nā tigers e hiki iā lākou ke holomua ma ʻApelika, ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua ulu lākou e kūpono i nā kūlana kūʻokoʻa o Asia, e paʻakikī iā lākou ke ola ma ka ʻāina ʻApelika. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i nā kumu like ʻole i kōkua i ka nele o nā tigers ma ʻApelika a nānā i ka hiki ke hoʻokomo hou i kēia mau holoholona nani i ka ʻāina i ka wā e hiki mai ana.

Moʻolelo Evolutionary: Pehea i hoʻokaʻawale ai nā Tiga a me nā Liona

ʻO nā tigers a me nā liona nā lālā ʻelua o ka ʻohana Felidae, e komo pū ana nā ʻano pōpoki āpau. Eia naʻe, ʻoiai ko lākou ʻano like, ua hoʻokaʻawale kēia mau pōpoki nui ʻelua mai kahi kupuna maʻamau ma kahi o 3.7 miliona mau makahiki i hala. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā tigera i puka mai ma ʻAsia, aʻo nā liona he kamaʻāina ʻo ia i ʻApelika. Ua hoʻopili ʻia kēia ʻokoʻa e ka kaʻawale ʻana o kēia mau ʻāina ʻelua ma muli o ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o nā mauna Himalaya.

Ma muli o kēia moʻolelo evolutionary, ua hoʻomohala nā tigers a me nā liona i nā hoʻololi kūʻokoʻa e hiki ai iā lākou ke ulu i ko lākou mau wahi noho. ʻO ka laʻana, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻiʻo a me nā ʻīlio ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o nā liona, ʻo ia ka mea e kōkua iā lākou e lawe iho i nā mea pio nui aʻe. He ʻaʻahu hulu mānoanoa nō hoʻi ko lākou e pale aku ai iā lākou mai ke anuanu o ko lākou ʻāina. ʻO ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ua ulu nā liona e noho i nā savannas a me nā mauʻu o ʻApelika, kahi e ʻimi ai lākou i nā pūʻulu a hilinaʻi i ko lākou ʻano kaiaulu e lawe i nā mea pio. ʻO kēia mau ʻokoʻa i ka hoʻololi ʻana he mea paʻakikī i nā tigers ke ola ma ʻApelika, no ka mea ʻaʻole kūpono lākou i nā kūlana kaiapuni o ka ʻāina.
