He holoholona kupaianaha kahi posum liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, i ʻike ʻia no kāna maʻalea. ʻElua mau ʻohana ʻohana ka ʻohana posum, a ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa nā ʻāpana 17 i kēlā me kēia.
Wehewehe
Liʻiliʻi kēia mau holoholona: mai ka ʻehiku a i ke kanalima kenimika ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka huelo, ma ke ʻano he rula, i nā mea lawelawe āpau he mana loa a paʻa (ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka huelo he 4 a 55 mau kenimika), a paʻa lākou i nā lālā. ʻOkoʻa nō hoʻi ke kaumaha o nā holoholona. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻo ke kaupaona o kahi makua Chacoesian lokomaikaʻi aloha ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ma mua o 40 gram. Ke hiki aku nā ʻohana kaulana a ka puʻupaʻa puʻupaʻa i 6 kilokilo o ke kaupaona.
ʻO ka hulu o kēia mau ʻano he lōʻihi a mānoanoa. Hinahina ke kino o ke kino, ʻeleʻele nā wāwae, ʻaneʻane ʻeleʻele. Hoʻolōʻihi ʻia ka waha a he kukui (ʻaneʻane keʻokeʻo) ke kala.
Kahi noho
He ākea loa ka nohona o nā posum a hoʻomaka ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina hikina o Kanada, a laila hele ma waena o nā moku hikina (mai West Virginia a Alabama). Hoʻolahalaha nui ʻia nā Opossum ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika Hema: ma Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay a me Bolivia. Hiki ke loaʻa kekahi mau ʻano i ka Caribbean.
Makemake kēia mau holoholona e noho i nā ululāʻau, steppes a me nā wao akua. Aia kekahi mau ʻano i ʻike ʻia e noho nei a i ka 4 tausani mau mika ma luna o ke kai.
He aha ka ʻai a ka opossum?
ʻO nā Opossums he mau holoholona omnivorous. ʻO kā lākou papaʻai nā huaʻai (e like me nā hua waina hihiu a i ʻole nā plum), nā hua a me nā hua (e like me ka palaoa mai nā māla) Hiki iā lākou ke ʻai maʻalahi i ke koʻokoʻo liʻiliʻi. Hoʻokomo pū ʻia nā moʻo, nā rana, nā nīnū, nā slug a me nā ilo i nā papa like ʻole. Hiki i nā manu liʻiliʻi ke kiʻi i ka posum no ka ʻaina awakea. ʻO kahi mea ʻai punahele ka hua manu. ʻIke ka opossum i kahi pūnana, pili me kāna huelo ikaika i kahi lālā e ulu kiʻekiʻe aʻe, e kau ana i luna a ʻaihue i nā hua manu mai ka pūnana.
Ma muli o ka hapa nui o nā lāhui opossum i pale kūlohelohe i kekahi ʻano ʻino o ka nahesa, komo pū nā nahesa i ka papaʻai, ʻo ia hoʻi, hiki i kekahi mau laha ke ʻimi i kahi ʻāheu.
Eia kekahi, i nā wahi lehulehu, kiʻi pinepine nā posum i kā lākou meaʻai mai nā kini ʻōpala.
ʻEnemi kūlohelohe
Nui nā ʻenemi o Possums i ko lākou wahi maoli.
No nā mākua, nā ʻalopeke a me nā lynxes ke hoʻoweliweli. ʻImi pinepine ʻo Coyotes i nā posum. Hoʻoweliweli pū kekahi mau manu manu nui (ka nui o nā pueo).
Hoʻoweliweli nui nā nahesa i ka ʻōpio.
ʻIkepili Hoihoi
- ʻO ka hāpai i nā posum he mau pule wale nō ia, a i ʻole 13 mau lā. Kahi i hānau ʻia a hiki i 25 cubs. Makapō loa a kōkua ʻole lākou. Me ka makuahine, noho ka hua i 3 -3.5 mau mahina. Mai ka makahiki o ʻelua mau mahina, hele nā keiki ma ke kua o ka makuahine, e paʻa ana i ka hulu hipa.
- Kaupaona ka posum Virginia he 0.13 wale nō gram i ka wā hānau, a ʻo ka lōʻihi o ke kino he 14 millimeter.
- Manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā posum nā holoholona kahiko loa ma ka honua. A i loko o nā makahiki, ua mau ka loli ʻole.
- He pale kūʻokoʻa loa kā Possums i nā mea ʻino. Ke hoʻoweliweli ʻia ka holoholona, hāʻule ʻo ia ma kona ʻaoʻao, make. I ka manawa like, ke hoʻokuʻu nei i kahi pilau a me nā mea hoʻopailua hoʻowahāwahā, ʻike ʻia ka hua mai ka waha, a lilo nā maka i aniani, hoʻopau ka holoholona i ka hanu ʻana. No laila, moe ka posum no kekahi manawa a hala ka hoʻoweliweli.
