ʻO ka loon ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele no ka kāʻei Eukaryote, ka Chordov ʻano, ke kauoha Loon, ka ʻohana Shasharov, a me ka genus Loon. Hoʻokumu i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa. He lunamakaʻāinana kūikawā kēia o ka genus. ʻOkoʻa i kahi kala ʻokoʻa, e kahaha ai me ka nalu.
Wehewehe
Hoʻohālikelike ʻia e ka helehelena o ka moa manu. ʻOi aku ka nui ma mua o ka pēpē home. He kino lōkō kona a me nā ʻeheu liʻiliʻi a ololi. Loihi ka nuku o ka manu, pololei, kiko. Pāleʻa nā kihi o ka nuku.
Ma muli o kahi o nā wāwae, ʻaʻole ʻo ia e neʻe nui. ʻOiai ma ka ʻāina, makemake ʻo ia e moe ma kona ʻōpū. Aia kekahi pūnaewele pūnaewele ma mua o ʻekolu manamana wāwae no ka ʻauʻau ʻoluʻolu. Uhi ʻia ke kino me ka plumage wai ʻole. Pōkole ka hulu o ka huelo a aneane hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻia.
Hinahina lehu ka nānā ʻana i ka pūnāwai. ʻO ka ʻaoʻao poʻo luna a me ka hope o ka ʻāʻī mānoanoa ʻeleʻele me ka poni a me nā tints ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Aia kahi lālani o nā ʻāpana longitudinal keʻokeʻo ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao o ka ʻāʻī a ma ka ʻāʻī. ʻEleʻele nā ʻaoʻao, keʻokeʻo ka ʻōpū a me nā wahi axillary.
ʻEleʻele loa ka nuku o ka manu. ʻUʻulaʻula ka iris o ka maka, kokoke i ka palaunu. ʻEleʻele ka ʻaoʻao i waho o nā wāwae, ʻāhinahina hina ka ʻaoʻao i loko me ka polū. Ma kahi kokoke i ka wā hoʻoilo, loaʻa iā ia ke aka dimmer. ʻO nā mākua i kēia manawa ua like me nā manu ʻōpio, akā ʻeleʻele ke kani o hope.
He ʻeleʻele-hina hina ko nā manu ʻōpio, poʻo hina a me ka ʻāʻī, ʻaoʻao keʻokeʻo. Keʻokeʻo ka nuku ma ke kumu a hina i ka piko. Ma ke ala, ʻaneʻane hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻia kahi loona ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele ʻōniʻoniʻo mai ka mea luʻu ʻulaʻula. Koe naʻe he nuku pololei ko ka mea mua.
He moa wai ka loona ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele, no laila hoʻohui ia i kona ola me nā kino wai. ʻO kahiʻauʻau maikaʻi loa, ʻike ʻo ia i ka luʻu ma lalo o ka wai a noho ma laila no 2 mau minuke. Lawe wale i ka wai me kahi hoʻomaka holo.
Lele i kahi laina pololei, ʻaʻole wikiwiki loa. Hiki ke hana i nā leo like ʻole me ke kani ʻana. I ka wā o ka lele, hoʻopuka ʻo ia i kekahi mea e like me "ha ... ha ... garaaaaaaa". I ka pūnana, hāʻawi nui ia a hāʻawi ʻia ʻo "ku-ku-iiiii"
Kahi noho
Hiki i ka puna i ke kīloi ʻana o nā kahawai i ka hau. Hoi mau lākou i ʻApelila. Hele lākou i loko o ʻelua a ʻekolu paha mau hipa o 2 a 5 mau manu. Akā i kekahi manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā hui lehulehu.
Kūkulu ʻia nā pūnana i nā māla pālahalaha kuli kokoke i nā loko. Makemake lākou i nā kahakai akahai. ʻAʻole lākou e hoʻowahāwahā i nā ʻāina wai. ʻAʻole neʻe i ka ʻāina, no laila kūkulu ʻo ia i nā pūnana kokoke i nā kino wai.
ʻO nā ʻano i nā ʻāpana arctic a me subtropical o kā mākou ʻāina, e hopu ana i nā wahi liʻiliʻi o nā wahi komohana o ʻApelika. ʻO nā ʻāina punahele ʻo ʻEulopa ʻo Norewai, Kuekene, Pinilana a me Sekotia. Ua noho ka moku hema ʻo Novaya Zemlya ma Lūkia. Noho kekahi manawa iā Kolguev me Vaygach. Noho pū kekahi ia ma kahi kokoke i ke Kola Peninsula a me Karelia.
ʻAiʻai Pono
ʻO ka papaʻai nui me nā iʻa liʻiliʻi a me waena. Alualu lāua ʻelua ma ka hale a lele i waho. Mai noʻonoʻo i ka ʻai ʻana i nā crustacea, nā ilo, molluscs, nā iʻa aquatic. ʻAi ʻia nā rana i kekahi manawa.
ʻAʻole lākou ʻano ʻē i ka ʻimi holoholona ʻana i nā kaʻe kahawai, ʻaʻole like me nā lālā ʻohana ʻē aʻe. Makemake lākou e kiʻi i ka meaʻai i nā hui, e leʻaleʻa ana i nā laina. Luu lākou i lalo o ka wai no ka hopu pio a hopu paha me ko lākou nuku. Hanai ʻia nā moa Downy i nā crustacean.
ʻIkepili Hoihoi
- ʻO nā loona ʻāʻī ʻeleʻele nā mea monogamous. Pālua i ke ola.
- He mea maʻamau no nā laha e kūkulu i nā pūnana ʻokoʻa ma muli o ka nohona a me nā kūlana.
- Lana pinepine ka manu ma luna o ka wai. Akā ke hoʻopilikia ʻia ia, komo hohonu ia a hiki i ka wā e mau ai kahi ʻāpana kūiki o ka ʻaoʻao dorsal ma luna.
