ʻO ka crocodile Cuban ka mea hōʻike i ka ʻohana o nā koka maoli. Hiki i ka nui o ke kino ke hōʻea i 350 kenimika a kau i ke 130 kilokika. Ua pena hina ʻia ke kino, a ma ke kua kahi hiʻohiʻona o nā kiko melemele a me nā ʻeleʻele. ʻOi aku ka māmā o ka'ōpū a me kaʻole o nā kiko kiko. He ʻano ʻili gula hou ko nā ʻōpio. Nui a pōkole ke poʻo, a ma luna o nā maka e ʻike maopopo ʻia nā hana iwi like me nā kualono. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o kēia ʻano ka loaʻa ʻole o nā membrane ma waena o nā manamana lima, ʻoiai nā crocodiles Cuban i hoʻololi hou ʻia i ka ʻāina.
Eia kekahi, no ka neʻe maikaʻi ʻana ma ka ʻāina, ua lōʻihi nā lālā o kēia ʻano, e hiki ai iā ia ke holo wikiwiki i 17 kilomita i kēlā me kēia hola. Aia he 68 mau niho i ka waha. ʻOi aku nā unahi o kēia mau lunamakaʻāinana, ma ke ʻano hoʻi, ma nā lālā hope.
Kahi noho
Ua ola kēia ʻano ma ka hema hikina wale nō ʻo Cuba, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ka Zapata Peninsula a me ka mokupuni ʻo Juventud o ka Pae ʻo Los Canarreos. ʻO Crocodile Cuban kahi mea i hana ʻia ma Gatorland Alligator Park ma Orlando, Florida. Noho nā crocodile Cuban i ka wai hou a liʻiliʻi hoʻi, akā hoʻonui lākou i ka manawa ma ka ʻāina.
Mai ka makahiki 1950, ua hānai nui ʻia nā Crocodiles Cuban e kiʻi i ko lākou ʻili ʻokoʻa a me ka ʻiʻo.
ʻAi a me ka hahai holoholona
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o nā crocodiles Cuban ko lākou huhū ikaika a me ka wiwo ʻole. Hiki i kēia lunamakaʻāinana ke lanakila ma luna o ka hoa paio nui loa. Nui nā hihia o ka hoʻouka kaua i ka poʻe, a ua make lākou.
ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe o kēia lunamakaʻāinana ka ʻike a me ke akamai. Hui pū nā crocodiles Cuban he nui e ʻimi i ka pāʻani nui. I ka ʻimi ʻana i nā pio, hele aku kēia mau mea kolo i ka ʻāina a alualu mai kahi hoʻohālua, a mahalo i ko lākou mau wāwae lōʻihi, hiki iā lākou ke hopu me kā lākou mea pio ma kahi mamao. ʻO ka papaʻai maʻamau o kahi crocodile Cuban:
- ʻO ka iʻa a me nā kuhukukū;
- Mammal liʻiliʻi;
- ʻO Crustacean a me nā arthropods;
- Manu manu.
I loko o ka wā mōʻaukala, ua ʻimi nā Crocodile Cuban i nā sloths nui o ka megalocnus, akā ma hope ua pau lākou. Hiki i ka luku ʻia o kēia laha ke hoʻopili i ka hōʻemi o ka nui o nā crocodile Cuban.
Hoʻopiʻi hou
ʻO ka wā hānau no nā crocodiles Cuban ka hopena o ka wā wai a me ke kauwela mua. Hoʻonohonoho nā wahine i nā pūnana mai ka lepo a me nā mea kanu pala, kahi e waiho ai lākou mai 30 a 40 mau hua. ʻO ka manawa incubation he 58 a 70 mau lā. Hiki i ka hatch of crocodiles liʻiliʻi i ka hopena o ke kauwela a me ke kau mua. Hānau ʻia nā pēpē me ka lōʻihi o ke kino o 10 centimeta a ke kaupaona ʻia mai 100 a 120 mau huna. Hoʻoholo ʻia ka moekolohe o kahi crocodile Cuban e nā kūlana o ka mahana. Inā ma kahi o 32 kekelē Celsius ka mahana o ka pūnana, a laila hānau ʻia kahi kāne.
Mālama nā makuahine o Crocodiles Cuban i nā hua manu a kōkua i nā pēpē e kiʻi i ka wai ma hope o ka hatching. I ka makahiki mua o ke ola, pale ʻia nā crocodile Cuban mai nā makaʻi ʻē aʻe, ke nānā aku ko lākou makuahine iā lākou a pale iā lākou mai nā hoʻoweliweli hiki.
Akā 'ōlelo nā helu helu i waena o nā ʻōpio, 1% wale nō ke ola. ʻO kēia ke kumu o ka laha nui ʻia o nā crocodiles kahiko a me ka ʻimi holoholona holoholona holoholona ʻōpio.
