He ʻano holoholona ʻokoʻa ka pōpoki hihiu. No nā pōpoki liʻiliʻi e like me ka cheetah, ka puma, a me ka lynx. ʻOi aku ka nui a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o nā pōpoki ʻāhiu ma mua o ko mākou mau pōpoki hale. Loaʻa nā pōpoki hihiu ma nā wahi o ʻEulopa, ʻAsia, a me ʻApelika. He mea maʻamau lākou a no laila ʻaʻole pilikia a hoʻoweliweli ʻia paha e pau.
ʻEkolu mau subspecies: Ua kapa ʻia ka pōpoki ʻEulopa he pōpoki nahele. Ua kapa ʻia ka ʻāhiu ʻĀsia ʻo ka steppe cat. ʻO ka hope, ʻike ʻia ka pōpoki ʻāhiu ʻApelika, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka pōpoki hihiu. ʻO mākou, nā kānaka, hānai i kā mākou mau pōpoki hale mai ka pōpoki hihiu. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole he popoki ʻāhiu i ka pōkiʻi home i hele nahelehele.
Pehea ka noho ana o ka popoki hihiu o Europa?
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā pōpoki ʻāhiu o ʻEulopa e nā ʻōniʻoniʻo ma ko lākou kua. He mānoanoa a pōkole ka huelo. Hōʻike ʻia ʻekolu a ʻelima mau apo ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele ma luna.
Noho lākou ma ka ululāʻau, akā ma nā kahakai a i ʻole ma ka lihi o nā puʻu. ʻAʻole lākou makemake e noho i kahi e mahiʻai nui ai nā kānaka a i ʻole kahi hau nui. He poʻe hilahila loa lākou.
Hiki i nā pōpoki hihiu ke honi maikaʻi ma mua o nā ʻīlio. He akamai loa ʻoe. ʻOi aku ka nui o ko lākou lolo ma mua o ko mākou mau pōpoki hale. Huli nā ʻīlio hihiu ʻEulopa i kā lākou mea pio a hoʻāʻo e kāhāhā iā lākou. ʻAi nui lākou i nā ʻiole a me nā ʻiole. Kakaʻikahi lākou e ʻai i nā manu, nā iʻa, nā rana, nā moʻo, nā lapeti, a me nā ʻūhā. I kekahi manawa, hopu lākou i ka hare ʻōpio a i ʻole ka ʻaʻa a i ʻole ke ʻano.
He mehameha ʻoe. Ua hui wale lākou i ka male ma waena o nā mahina o Ianuali a me Malaki. Hāpai ka wahine i ʻelua a ʻehā pēpē i loko o kona ʻōpū no ʻeiwa pule. Ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia i kahi lāʻau lua a i ʻole kahi ʻalopeke kahiko a i ʻole lua ʻino e hānau ai. Ua inu mua nā keiki i ka waiū mai ko lākou makuahine.
ʻO kā lākou ʻenemi nui ma ke ʻano he lynx a me nā ʻīlio hae. ʻO nā manu lele e like me ka ʻaeto e hopu wale i nā holoholona ʻōpiopio. ʻO ke kanaka kou ʻenemi nui. Mālama ʻia nā pōpoki hihiu ʻEulopa ma ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina a ʻaʻole hiki ke pepehi ʻia. Akā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kānaka e lawe i nā wahi noho mai lākou. Loaʻa iā lākou ka liʻiliʻi o ka mea pio.
I ke kenekulia 18, he kakaikahi loa nā pōpoki hihiu o ʻEulopa i koe. Ma kahi o hoʻokahi haneli mau makahiki, akā naʻe, ke hoʻonui hou nei nā waihona. E like me ka hōʻike ʻana o ka palapala ʻāina, mamao loa lākou mai nā wahi a pau. Ma Kelemānia, aia ma kahi o 2,000 a 5,000 mau holoholona. ʻO nā wahi a lākou e ʻoluʻolu ai he ʻāpana loa.
ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia nā pōpoki hihiu. Ma ke ʻano, hilahila lākou a hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke kiʻi iā lākou. ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o nā pōpoki ʻāhiu a me nā pōpoki i pakele i ka home maʻamau e noho ma nā zoo a me nā paka holoholona.
