ʻO nā rapeti nā mea momona. Noho nā rapeti ma nā ʻāina a pau koe ʻo Antarctica. ʻO ka rabbit hihiu wale nō e noho ana ma ʻEulopa. ʻO ka rabbit home, i kapa ʻia hoʻi he rabbit breeding, e iho mai iā ia.
He mau holoholona kaulana nā rapeti mai ka wā kahiko. No hea mai ka inoa ʻaʻole maopopo, akā ua kapa ka poʻe Roma i ka haʻawina holoholona. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo Kelemānia "Kaninchen" a i ʻole "Karnickel" mai ka ʻōlelo Farani "kanin". Ma Switzerland, kapa ʻia lākou ʻo "Chüngel".
ʻIke ʻia mai ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia ka ʻepekema i ke ʻano o nā rabbit a me nā hares. No ka ʻohana lagomorph lāua ʻelua. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia nā huaʻōlelo. No ka mea, ʻo nā hares ʻEulopa wale nō, nā hares mauna, a me nā lapeti hihiu e noho ana ma ʻEulopa, ua maʻalahi ka ʻokoʻa ma aneʻi. ʻAʻole hiki i nā lapeti ke hoʻopā me nā hares no ka mea ʻokoʻa loa ko lākou mau genes.
Pehea ka noho ʻana o nā lapeti hihiu?
Noho pūʻulu nā lapeti hihiu. ʻEli lākou i nā tunnel i ka lepo a hiki i ʻekolu mika ka hohonu. Ma laila lākou e peʻe ai mai ko lākou mau ʻenemi he nui: kekahi mau ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula, martens, weasels, ʻīlio hae, a me nā lynxes, akā ʻo nā manu ʻai e like me nā pueo a me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. Ke ʻike ka lākeke i ka ʻenemi, e paʻi ʻo ia i kona mau wāwae hope i ka honua. Ma kēia hōʻailona hōʻailona, holo nā rabbit a pau i loko o kahi tunnel.
ʻAi nā rapeti i ka mauʻu, nā mea kanu, nā lau, nā mea kanu, a me nā huaʻai. ʻO ia ke kumu i kaulana ʻole ai lākou i nā māla. Ua ʻike ʻia hoʻi ua ʻai lākou i nā koena o nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi, ʻai nā lākeke i kā lākou feces ponoʻī. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻoheheʻe maikaʻi i ka meaʻai a lawa ka ʻai hoʻokahi.
Pehea e hanau ai na lapiti hihiu?
Hoʻopaʻa maʻamau nā rapeti i ka hapa mua o ka makahiki. ʻEhā a ʻelima pule wale nō ka wā hāpai. ʻEli ka wahine i kona lua ponoʻī e hānau ai. Ma laila ʻo ia e hānau ai ma kahi o ʻelima a ʻeono mau ʻōpio.
He olohelohe na keiki hanau hou, makapo, a ma kahi o kanaha a kanalima grama ke kaumaha. ʻAʻole hiki iā lākou ke haʻalele i kā lākou lua, ʻo ia ke kumu i kapa ʻia ai lākou he "nest stools". Ma kahi o ʻumi mau lā, wehe lākou i ko lākou mau maka. Haʻalele lākou i ko lākou lua hānau no ka manawa mua i ka makahiki ʻekolu pule. ʻOiai, hoʻomau lākou i ka inu waiu mai ko lākou makuahine no hoʻokahi pule. Ua oʻo ko lākou kino mai ka makahiki ʻelua o ke ola, no laila hiki iā lākou ke loaʻa i kā lākou keiki ponoʻī.
Hiki i ka wahine ke hāpai ʻelima a ʻehiku manawa i ka makahiki. No laila hiki iā ia ke hānau i nā holoholona ʻōpio ʻoi aku ma mua o ka iwakālua a ʻoi aku paha i ka makahiki hoʻokahi. Eia naʻe, no ka nui o ko lākou mau ʻenemi a me kekahi mau maʻi, e mau ana nā lākeke ma kahi like. Kapa ʻia kēia he kaulike kūlohelohe.
He aha ka hana a nā kānaka me nā lapeti?
Huli kekahi poʻe i ka lapiti. Makemake lākou e pana i nā holoholona a i ʻole e huhū me nā lapeti. ʻAi nā holoholona i nā mea kanu a me nā huaʻai mai ka mahiʻai a i ʻole e ʻeli i loko o ka māla a ma ke kula. ʻO ka hopena, hiki i nā mahiʻai a me nā māla ke hōʻiliʻili liʻiliʻi. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka heʻe ʻana i kou wāwae i lalo i kahi lua rabbit he mea weliweli.
Hāpai kekahi poʻe i nā lapiti e ʻai ai. Hauʻoli ka poʻe ʻē aʻe i ka nānā ʻana o ka lapeti i ke ʻano o ko lākou manaʻo he nani. I loko o nā hui, hoʻohālikelike lākou i nā rapeti a hoʻonohonoho i nā hōʻikeʻike a i ʻole nā hoʻokūkū. Ma Kelemānia wale nō, aia ma kahi o 150,000 mau mea hoʻohua rabbits.
Eia nō naʻe, mālama nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i nā lapeti ma ke ʻano he holoholona. He mea nui ka loaʻa ʻana o ʻelua rabbit i loko o ka hale paʻa, inā ʻaʻole, mehameha lākou. Ma muli o ka makemake o nā lākeke e nahu, hiki i nā kaula uila ke pilikia iā lākou. Ua piha ka rabbit kahiko loa i ka noho pio ʻana i 18 makahiki. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ke ola ʻana o ka hapa nui o lākou ma mua o ko ke ʻano maoli, ma kahi o ʻehiku a ʻumikūmākahi mau makahiki.
