E like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, ʻo ka nui ka nui ma ka ʻohana. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka ʻawaʻawa nui a hiki i 80 cm, ʻo ka ʻēheu aia i 130 cm, ke kino o 0.87-1.94 kg.
ʻO ka helehelena ʻawaʻawa nui
I loko o kahi ʻawaʻawa nui, hoʻololi ka plumage ma waena o nā wahi ʻōlinolino a pale, ʻo ke kala nui he brown brown, kūʻē i kēia kāʻei, ʻike ʻia nā uauaʻeleʻele a me nā kaha. ʻEleʻele ke poʻo o ke poʻo. He melemele ka nuku lōʻihi, ʻeleʻele ka ʻaoʻao luna a ʻaneʻane ʻeleʻele i ka wēlau. Melemele ka iris.
He ʻōmaʻomaʻo ke alahaka o ka ihu a hiki i ka ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa o ka nuku. ʻO nā ʻaoʻao o ke poʻo ʻeleʻele kala. ʻEleʻele-ʻeleʻele i ka ʻāʻī. ʻO ka chin a me ka ʻāʻī he keʻokeʻo-keʻokeʻo me kahi ʻāpana waena tan.
ʻO ka dorsum o ka ʻāʻī a me ke kua i brownish-gula me nā kiko ʻeleʻele a me nā mea kiko. Hoʻolālā ʻia nā hulu poʻohiwi, ʻeleʻele ko lākou kikowaena, hūnā ʻia kahi palena keʻokeʻo nui e nā ʻeheu pelu. ʻO nā ʻeheu o luna he palupalu lākou; ma ka palena mua ua ʻeleʻele a me nā kiko ʻeleʻele.
Nā hulu lele mai ka ʻulaʻula a i ka brown me nā kiko ʻeleʻele. Melemele ka umauma me nā ʻūlū lonikū ʻeleʻele a me nā kiko ʻeleʻele liʻiliʻi. Pālahalaha nā kaha ma ka umauma a me ka hāwele ma ka ʻōpū. ʻO ka lalo o nā ʻeheu e melemele keʻokeʻo me nā kiko hina. He ʻōmaʻomaʻo keʻokeʻo nā wāwae a me nā manamana wāwae.
Kahi noho
ʻO ka heluna kanaka o nā mea inu nui ma ʻEulopa he 20-40 tausani mau kānaka. Noho ka ʻano i nā ulu ʻohe. Makemake nā ʻawaʻawa nui i nā kūlana anilā, hōʻemi ka helu o nā manu i kahi kokoke i nā wahi me ke aniau ʻEulopa a me ʻAsia. Hele lākou i ka hema mai nā wahi i uhi ʻia nā waihona wai me ka hau i ka hoʻoilo.

Makemake nā ʻawaʻawa nui i ka noho kaʻawale. Nānā nā manu i ka meaʻai i loko o nā nāhelehe ʻohe, sneak a nānā ʻole ʻia a kū ʻole i luna o ka wai, kahi e hiki ai i ka mea pio. Inā ʻike ka ʻawa i ka makaʻu, hoʻāla ia i kona nuku a neʻe ʻole. Hoʻohui pū nā ʻōmole me ka ʻāina e hoʻopuni ana, a nalowale ke alo o ka predator iā ia. ʻImi ka manu i ka meaʻai i ka wanaʻao a me ka pō ʻana.
