ʻO KA PŌPOKI BENGAL: KA WEHEWEHE O KA LĀHUI, KE ʻANO, KA LAWENA

Send

Ua ʻike ʻia ka pōpoki Bengal ma muli o ke keʻa ʻana i kahi pōpoki kūloko a me kahi pōpoki ahiu ʻo Far Eastern (Latin Prionailurus bengalensis). Mai ia ʻano hui ʻana, ʻaʻole hiki i kahi mea hina a nondescript ke puka i waho.

He ʻokoʻa ko lākou ʻano a me ko lākou helehelena mai kā lākou purrs home i aloha nui ʻia, akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo he hihiu a weliweli lākou. ʻAʻole, kūloko a akamai lākou, akā hiki iā lākou ke kūpaʻa inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hāʻawi i kā lākou makemake.

Pāʻani, me kahi leo mele, ʻaʻole kūpono lākou no kēlā me kēia kanaka a loiloi pono i nā ikaika a me nā pono ma mua o ka kūʻai ʻana i kahi pōpoki. A mai ka ʻatikala e ʻike ʻoe i nā ʻano maʻamau a kēia pōpoki, nā mea maikaʻi, nā mea maikaʻi ʻole, ka mōʻaukala o ke kumu a pehea e mālama ai iā ia.

Mōʻaukala o ka lāhui

ʻO ka pōpoki Bengal kekahi o nā laʻana o ka hybridization kūleʻa ma waena o nā pōpoki kūloko a me nā pōpoki hihiu, a manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā hoʻāʻo e hoʻokō i kahi ʻano hybridization i hana ʻia i nā 1960 mua.

Akā, ua hōʻoia ka ʻikepili i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka mōʻaukala o ka hānau ma 1970, i ka wā i komo ai ka felinologist ʻo Jane Mill i ka hopena o kekahi mau pōpoki, i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o kahi hoʻokolohua kūlohelohe.

Ua ʻimi ʻo Kauka Willard Centerwall i ka pale o nā pōpoki hihiu, ka mea ikaika loa i pale aku i ka maʻi leukemia feline.

Ua hele ʻo ia ma waena o lākou me nā pōpoki kūloko, e aʻo ana i ke ʻano o ka hoʻoilina o kēia waiwai e nā pua a ka pōpoki hihiu.

I ka pau ʻana o nā hoʻokolohua, ʻaʻole i luku ʻo Dr. Centerwall i ka ʻōpala, akā ua loaʻa nā mea nona nā keiki kittens. Ma muli o ka manaʻo o Jane Mill e kiʻi i kahi hybrid kahu i waena o kahi pōpoki hihiu a me nā pōpoki, ua ʻae ʻo ia me ka hauʻoli i nā noi a Centerwall.

Mai ka ʻōpala, ua koho ʻo ia i nā holoholona i hoʻoilina i nā hiʻohiʻona o ka pōpoki hihiu, akā i ka manawa like i hōʻike i kahi ʻano hoʻomanawanui, i hiki ke hoʻohuli ʻia i ka hopena.

E hoʻomaopopo ʻo Jane Mill (a ʻo Sugden ia manawa), hoʻomaka mua nā hoʻokolohua no ka hānau ʻana o nā pōpoki i 1940 i ke Kulanui o Kaleponi, Davis, UC Davis, ʻoiai e aʻo ana i nā genetics ma laila.

A laila, i ka makahiki 1961, ma hope o ke kipa ʻana iā Bangkok, ua ʻike mua ʻo ia i kēia mau pōpoki a aloha aku iā lākou.

Ua lawe pū ʻo ia i hoʻokahi me ia i kona homeland a loaʻa i kahi ʻōpala mai ona aku, ua hele aʻe me kahi pōpoki kūloko, akā ma muli o ke ola i hoʻopau ʻo ia i ka hoʻokolohua.

Hiki i kekahi ke hoʻomaopopo i kona hoihoi ke hāʻawi hou ka hopena iā ia i ka manawa e hana pū ai me kēia holoholona. ʻOiai ʻo Kauka Centerwall i kākoʻo iā ia, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia no nā hui puʻuwai pōpoki.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kennels a me nā hui e kūʻē nui i ka crossbreeding ma waena o nā pōpoki hihiu a me nā pōpoki kūloko, a hiki i kēia manawa, kahi hui kaulana e like me CFA hōʻole e hoʻopaʻa inoa Bengals. ʻOiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā hui kaiaulu i hoʻomaka e ʻike iā ia mai 1980.

No laila, hoʻomau ʻo Mrs. Mill i ka hana ʻana i ka lāhui, akā ʻaʻole maʻalahi a maʻalahi kēia hana. Makemake nā pōpoki e hui pū me nā pōpoki, a ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻōpala kāne he makehewa.

ʻO ka laki hou aʻe me nā pōpoki, hiki iā lākou ke hana i nā keiki olakino. I ka ʻike ʻana ʻaʻole lawa ka ikaika o nā genetics ʻo Mau, Burmese a me Abyssinian, ua ʻimi ʻo Jean i holoholona kūpono ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.

A i ka makahiki 1982, ua hoʻokokoke ʻia ʻo ia e ka curator o ka zoo ma New Delhi (India), nāna i huki i ka manaʻo i kahi pōpoki hihiu hiwahiwa e noho ana i ka zoo kokoke i nā rhino. Ua hihiu loa ʻo ia a ua hiki ke loaʻa kahi ʻōpala mai iā ia a me kāna mau pōpoki hybrid, nāna i hāʻawi i kahi mea hou i ka papahana.

Helu ʻia nā hanauna o nā pōpoki: F1, F2, F3 a ʻo nā helu mua ke kiʻi ʻia nā kittens mai kahi pōpoki hihiu a me nā pōpoki kahu.

Akā, mai ka hā o ka hanauna (F4), ʻo ka pōpoki home Bengal wale nō a me ka pōpoki i ʻae ʻia i mau mākua no ka lāhui e ʻike ʻia he maʻemaʻe.

Eia hou, ua hānai ʻia nā hanauna mua e nā mea hoihoi, ʻoiai ʻaʻole kēia mau pōpoki i ke ʻano piha o ka huaʻōlelo home, akā mālama ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā ʻano o nā holoholona hihiu. I kēia manawa he home, ʻoluʻolu, hānai manu aloha nui lākou, akā naʻe ʻāhewa lākou i kekahi lā i kekahi lā. E like me kā Jane Mill iho i ʻōlelo ai:

"Inā ma ka hoʻokūkū e nahu ka pōpoki o kekahi laha i kahi luna kānāwai, e pili ia i ke koʻikoʻi, a inā nahu kā mākou, e ʻōlelo lākou e pili ana i ke koko hihiu. No laila, ʻo kā mākou pōpoki ʻoki loa loa i nā hoʻokūkū. ”

ʻIke ʻia a i ʻole marbled ʻia, me nā waihoʻoluʻu like ʻole, akā he hina a ʻeleʻele ka mea maʻamau. Aia kekahi bengal hau (nā loulou sila), ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula, ʻākala, ʻeleʻele a me nā ʻano ʻeleʻele ʻē aʻe. E hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia lākou āpau ma ke ʻano he lāhui. I kēia manawa ʻike ʻia 5 kala, a 6 e noʻonoʻo ʻia nei.
ʻAʻole mānoanoa ka pālule e like me ko nā pōpoki maʻamau, palupalu loa, a me nā mea like me ka hulu lāpaki i ke ʻano.
ʻŌpū kiko
ʻO ka mea kūikawā o ka hulu kahi hopena gula e shimmers i nā kukuna o ka lā. ʻO kēia ka mea i kapa ʻia he ʻōlinolino, ke lilelile o ke kapa, i hoʻoili ʻia mai iā ia mai nā kūpuna hihiu mai.

Poʻo

Liʻiliʻi nā pepeiao, poepoe, ʻaʻole like me nā pōpoki maʻamau, kahi e kuhikuhi ai lākou
I ka pōʻeleʻele, hoʻomālamalama ka maka o nā pōpoki Bengal ma mua o nā pōpoki maʻamau. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo, akā e hoʻāʻo e hoʻohālikelike i nā kiʻi o kēia ʻano.
Nui nā maka, ʻōlinolino loa, o nā waihoʻoluʻu like ʻole, a hiki i ka sapeiro

Waena i ka nui i ka nui, me nā wāwae muscular, ikaika. Pākuʻi nui, poepoe. ʻO ka huelo he waena, ʻoi aku ka mānoanoa.
Lawe ʻia kahi pōpoki a ʻelua mau makahiki a hiki i ka nui piha.
Kaupaona nā pōpoki 4.5 - 6.8 kilokilo, a me nā pōpoki 3.6 - 5.4 kilo. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ke ola o kahi pōpoki Bengal he 14-16 mau makahiki.
Lele lākou i luna ma mua o nā pōpoki maʻamau a holo maikaʻi.

Koho

Nui loa, ʻoi aku kona kani a me nā kani ma mua o nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe

Wehewehe

Me ko lākou lokomaikaʻi, maʻalahi, a me nā kala e ʻike ʻia, he hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo kēia mau leopadi liʻiliʻi he hihiu nā pōpoki 9,500 mau makahiki i hala.

A ʻaʻole hāʻawi kēia hihiu i ka maluhia i ka poʻe, hoʻāʻo hou lākou e hana i kahi pōpoki kūloko e like me ka holoholona hihiu. Lunakanawai no ʻoe iho: ʻAigupita Mau, Ocicat, Pixiebob, Savannah Bengal.

Hoʻolālā ʻia lākou, he poʻe haʻuki nui, lōʻihi ko lākou kino, ʻaʻole naʻe ʻano hikina. ʻO ka musculature i hoʻomohala ʻia (ʻoi aku i nā pōpoki) kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o ka laha. Muscular hoʻi nā wāwae, o ka lōʻihi waena, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o nā wāwae hope ma mua o ka mua.

Lōʻihi ka ʻāʻī a nānā i ka mānoanoa, akā i ka hoʻohālikelike o ke kino. ʻO ke poʻo i ke ʻano o ka wedge i hoʻololi ʻia, me nā contour pōʻai, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka ākea, a nānā liʻiliʻi i ka pili o ke kino.

Oval nā maka, ʻaneʻane poepoe, nui. Hiki ke kala o ka maka mai ke gula, ʻōmaʻomaʻo a i ka uliuli no nā helu. ʻO ka momona a hohonu ʻo ia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

Liʻiliʻi nā pepeiao, pōkole, ākea ma ke kumu a poepoe i nā wēlau, hoʻonohonoho ʻia i nā kihi o ke poʻo.

ʻO kaʻaʻahu nani o ka waena i ka lōʻihi pōkole, kokoke i ke kino, ʻeleʻele, akā kahaha i ka palupalu a me ka silky. Kūlike ʻole nā māka mālamalama me ke kala kumu.

ʻAno

ʻO ka mea mua e makaʻu ai i ka poʻe, ʻaʻole makaʻu ka mālama ʻana i kēia pōpoki? Noho mālie, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka ikaika o nā hanauna ma mua o nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe.

Pāʻani ka pōpoki kūloko, ʻeleu a noho mau i kahi keiki i ka ʻauʻau i kona ola holoʻokoʻa. 'Saylelo nā Amateurs lele lākou i loko o ka lumi me nā maka alohilohi a me ka manaʻo: "Eia wau! E pāʻani kāua! ".

Hoʻohui i kēia hoihoi a me ka ʻike, hoʻoikaika pinepine kēia fusion iā ʻoe e uhaʻi i nā pāpā. Akamai lākou, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha, ʻoiai ʻo ko lākou mau kūpuna i pono ma mua o nā ʻāʻī a me nā māiʻuʻu e ola ai i ka nāhelehele.

Hana nā pōpoki Bengal e like me nā ʻīlio, hele mai lākou ke kāhea ʻoe, lawe mai i nā mea pāʻani nāu e pāʻani ai a hiki ke aʻo i nā hana hoʻopunipuni.

I kekahi manawa aʻo lākou i nā hana hoʻopunipuni āu e makemake ʻole ai: pehea e wehe ai i nā puka, nā piula wai, a i ʻole ka holoi ʻana i ka lua. Pāʻani a hiki i ka wāʻelemakule, makemake lākou e hopu i nā mea e neʻe ai, a me nāʻiole maoli, a me nā mea hana.

E hoʻokuʻi i kēia a loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi pōpoki e pono ai e ʻike i nā mea āpau e hana ana ma ka ʻāina, me kahi kiʻekiʻe o ka launa pū ʻana. ʻAʻole lākou makaʻu i nā malihini a hoʻopaʻa wiwo ʻole, honi, nānā.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e kiʻi iā lākou, hiki iā lākou ke wili iā lākou. Mākaukau mau lākou e pāʻani, makemake lākou e piʻi i ke kiʻekiʻe a makemake ʻole e noho mālie.

Akā, makemake lākou i ke kūʻokoʻa a makemake ʻole i nā palena. Hiki iā ia ke lei a ke kiʻi ʻia lākou. ʻAʻole kēia manaʻo e haehae lākou iā ʻoe i ke koko, holo wale ke hoʻāʻo lākou. ʻOkoʻa, ʻokoʻa nā pōpoki kūloko i ka hana like.

Manaʻo ʻoe ʻo ia wale nō? Aʻole iki. He ikaika loa ka mana o nā kūpuna hihiu a aloha lākou i nā mea ʻaʻole hiki i nā pōpoki maʻamau ke kū.

ʻO ka mea mua, makemake lākou i ka wai, e like me nā leopadi ʻāhiu (ʻauʻau maikaʻi) ke pāʻani me kahi wai e kahe ana mai ka piula. ʻO ka lua, ʻai lākou i nā meaʻai like ʻole, me ka ʻokoʻa o kekahi mau huaʻai.

Makemake kekahi poʻe e pulu i nā ʻūlū wāwae i kēlā me kēia manawa, ʻoiai e lele kekahi i loko o ka pahu ʻauʻau a i lalo o ka ʻauʻau. He mea hoihoi ia, akā a hiki i ko lākou puka ʻana i waho a holo a puni ka hale.

Hoʻopili paha kekahi i ka wai i nā mea nona ka laka i nā lumipaku a me nā lua, inā ʻaʻole huli lākou i nā piula a pīpī i nā kīʻaha lua.

I loko o ka hale, pili lākou i hoʻokahi kanaka, ka mea a lākou e manaʻo ai he ʻona ia (inā manaʻo nā pōpoki i kekahi nāna ka ʻona), akā i ka manawa like e hoʻolōʻihi lākou i ka manawa me nā lālā o ka ʻohana, keu hoʻi ke kāhea lākou e pāʻani a ʻai paha.

Akamai, ʻeleu a hoihoi hoʻi, pono lākou e launa pū me ka mea nona, a auwe ka poʻe hiki ʻole ke hāʻawi.

Ke luhi ka pōpoki, hiki iā ia ke haehae i nā mea ke ʻike i nā mea o ia mea, a wehe paha i ka puka i ka lumi moe e ʻike ai i ka mea e hūnā ʻia mai iā ia. Makemake lākou e hūnā i nā mea, no laila, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka waiho ʻana i nā mea waiwai i nā wahi i loaʻa ʻole iā ia.

Noho mālie lākou, akā inā hoʻomaka lākou e kani, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hana me nā meow maʻalahi. Nui ka laulā o nā kani, a ma hope o ka manawa ʻike ʻoe i ka wā pōloli o kāu pōpoki, luhi a makemake paha e hele wāwae.

ʻO ka hapa nui o nā Bengal home e launa pū me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe i loko o ka hale, me nā ʻīlio hoʻi.

ʻO nā keiki, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no lākou e ʻelemakule a hoʻomaopopo i kēia holoholona, a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kauō iā ia i ka ʻumiʻumi a i ʻole ka huelo. Pāʻani lākou me nā keiki me ka ʻole o nā pilikia, akā ma ke ʻano ʻaʻole wau e hoʻomāinoino iā lākou.

E hoʻomaopopo he ʻano pākahi ke ʻano o ka pōpoki, a hiki i kāu holoholona ke hana i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa loa. Akā, akamai lākou, kūʻokoʻa, mea pāʻani, a inā maopopo iā ʻoe kekahi i kekahi, a laila ʻaʻole ʻoe e makemake hou i pōpoki hou.

Mālama a mālama

ʻAʻole mahalo nā pōpoki Bengal i ka mālama ʻana. ʻO kēia kahi ʻano olakino, kino a me ka noʻonoʻo, ikaika a nimble. Aloha lākou e piʻi i luna, a piʻi nō hoʻi.

A ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe, ʻoi aku ka hoihoi. I mea e pale aku ai i nā lako i loko o ka hale mai ka ʻehaʻeha ʻana, e hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi pou kaha kiʻekiʻe.

ʻO kaʻoi aku o kāna hana, ʻoi aku ke olakino a me ka hauʻoli, a e mālama ʻoe i kou aʻa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hele wāwae me ia ma ke alanui, maʻalahi lākou i ka lepe. E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia, makemake lākou i ka wai, pāʻani me ia a hiki ke noho pū me ʻoe ʻoiai ʻoe i ka ʻauʻau. ʻO ka manawa pinepine ʻole makemake ʻia e ʻauʻau iā lākou, ua maʻemaʻe lākou.

Pōkole ka lole, hoʻonaninani, silky a pono ʻole ka mālama, lawa ia e palu hoʻokahi i hoʻokahi pule.

ʻO ke koena o ka mālama ma ke kula haʻahaʻa. E ʻoki mau i kou mau kui, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi i kēlā me kēia pule. Inā he lepo kou mau pepeiao, hoʻomaʻemaʻe mālie me ka hulu hulu.

He ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e kāhili i kou mau niho me ka niho o ka pōpoki a lawe i kāu pipi i ka vet no kahi nānā pinepine.

Ke hoʻomaka koke ʻoe e palaki i kou mau niho, ʻokiʻoki i kou mau māiʻuʻu, a palaki i kāu keiki pipi, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka wā e hiki mai ana.

Ua hoʻoholo anei ʻoe e kiʻi i kēia lāhui?

A laila e kōkua maikaʻi kēia mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo:

Kūʻai mai kahi kahu hānai a i ʻole kahi mea hoʻohua kaulana

E nānā i nā maka o ke keiki, he maʻemaʻe a maʻemaʻe paha? E hōʻoia ʻaʻole ona ihu holo

ʻAʻole pono e loaʻa ka palahī a me nā hōʻailona o ia mea. E nānā ma lalo o ka huelo, e nānā i ka maʻemaʻe o nā mea āpau a ʻaʻohe ʻulaʻula

E ʻoluʻolu e wehewehe inā ua hana ʻia nā hoʻokolohua kūlohelohe no ke kū ʻana o nā maʻi?

Hanai ana

ʻO nā pōpoki ʻo Bengal he carnivores; ʻaʻole lākou omnivorous a i ʻole herbivorous. I nā makahiki i hala, poina nā mea pōpoki i kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo.

Inā ʻoe e nānā i ka hānai pāʻoihana, e ʻike ʻoe he haʻahaʻa ia i kaʻiʻo a kiʻekiʻe i ke kō, soy, palaoa, laiki, ʻuala.

ʻOiai ʻo kēia ʻano ʻano meaʻai no nā pōpoki he 50-60 wale nō nā makahiki, ʻaʻohe paha he manawa e lilo ai i mau omnivores.

No ke aha he nui nā mea kanu i loko o lākou?

He aha nā koho ʻē aʻe i nā hānai pāʻoihana? ʻAi maoli, ʻiʻo a me nā iʻa.

E hāʻawi wale i kāu pipi i ka meaʻai maoli.
