ʻO ka loona i hāʻawi ʻia i ke keʻokeʻo kahi lunamakaʻāinana nui o ka genus Loon. No nā Eukaryote, ʻano Chordovs, ke kaʻina o nā Loona, ka ʻOhana o nā Loona. Kāhea ʻia nō hoʻi ka loona polar i hoʻoili ʻia i ke keʻokeʻo.
Wehewehe
ʻAʻole like me kona congeners, he nuku melemele keʻokeʻo kona. ʻO ke kala e like me ka loona i hoʻopili ʻia me ka pouli. Eia nō naʻe, ʻeā nā mākua o ka lāhui i hōʻike ʻia me kahi poʻo ʻeleʻele a me ka ʻāʻī me kahi aniani poni. Aia nā ʻāpana keʻokeʻo lonikū i nā ʻaoʻao. ʻO ka malu like ke ʻano o nā pale keʻokeʻo e hana ana ma luna a me nā ʻaoʻao o ka ʻāʻī.
Ua hele a ʻeleʻele ke ʻano nuptial ma ke poʻo, ʻike ʻia nā kiko keʻokeʻo me nā kaha ʻeleʻele i ka ʻāʻī o ka ʻeha. ʻO nā koʻokoʻo o ka hulu mua he ʻeleʻele i ka piko. Loaʻa i ka hiʻohiʻona pūnana kahi kumu scaly, i hoʻokumu ʻia ma muli o nā palena apical keʻokeʻo.
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona mua o nā moa downy e ʻike ʻia e ka predominance o kahi hue brown brown. ʻOi aku ka māmā o ka lole hou o ka moa ma mua o ka mea ma mua. ʻAno keʻokeʻo o ka lalo o ke kino. Ma muli o ka luna māmā o ka nuku, he mea maʻalahi ke hoʻomaopopo i ka laha i ke kamaliʻi.
I ka wā o ka moena, hoʻopuka ia i kahi leo nui, maopopo, nani, e hoʻomanaʻo ana i ka ʻakaʻaka hopohopo a i ʻole ka ʻenemi lio ʻana. Hoʻopuka pū kekahi i kekahi manawa i kahi kani kiʻekiʻe a intermittent e like me ke kaniʻuhū.
Kahi noho
Ua huhū loa ka ʻano laha, e like me ke kaulahao o nā wahi pili ʻole. Ua pālahalaha ʻia ma nā wahi Arctic ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o nā kapakai o ʻEulopa a me ʻAsia. Noho ʻia ia e nā kahakai a me tundra puʻu, kahi e nui ai nā loko. Noho kekahi manawa i ka ululāʻau-tundra.
ʻO ke kūlana nui no ke ola maʻamau ke kū ʻana o nā kino wai kokoke, kahi e nui ai nā iʻa. Noho ʻo ia ma nā loko nui a me waena me ka wai maopopo. Kūkulu ʻia nā pūnana ma nā kahakai one a pōhaku.
ʻAiʻai Pono
ʻAʻole ʻike iki ʻia e pili ana i ka papaʻai o ka lōlona keʻokeʻo. Hānai nui ʻia ia ma nā loko (i kekahi manawa ma ke kai). Makemake i ka iʻa. Hiki iā ia ke ʻahaʻaina ma nā pūpū a me nā crustacean. Noho pinepine i nā wahi kahi ʻai liʻiliʻi, no laila pono ʻoe e lele i nā wahi momona. Ma kahi, ʻaʻole hoʻolōʻihi ka manu ma mua o 90 mau lā.
ʻIkepili Hoihoi
- ʻO ka loona i hoʻopili ʻia ke keʻokeʻo ka mea nui loa o kona ʻano. Hiki i kona kaumaha ke piʻi i 6.4 kg.
- He monogamous ka manu a he mau hoa me ka hoa like no ke koena o kona ola.
- I kekahi manawa loaʻa ka gravel i loko o nā ʻōpū o nā pūhaka i hoʻoulu ʻia keʻokeʻo.
- Hoʻokomo ʻia ka laha i loko o ka papa inoa o nā manu neʻe i pale ʻia a pale ʻia i kekahi mau mālama ʻo Arctic.
