Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Newts kekahi o nā amphibian kupaianaha a maikaʻi loa ma ka Honua. Nui nā ʻano o nā holoholona (ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli), akā he ʻano like ʻole ko kēlā me kēia hui. ʻO ka lunamakaʻāinana hoihoi loa o nā mea hou ka Asia Minor. ʻOiai kona liʻiliʻi, hiki i ka holoholona ke koi i ke poʻo inoa o "dragon dragon ma lalo o ka wai". Hiki iā ʻoe ke hālāwai me nā kāne uʻi ma ka panalāʻau o Lūkia, Turkey, Georgia a me Armenia. ʻIke nui nā Amphibians ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 1000-2700 m ma luna o kaʻilikai.
ʻIke o nā newts
ʻO nā mea hou ʻo Asia Minor nā holoholona maikaʻi loa e lilo i nani loa i ka wā o ka male ʻana. Piʻi nā mākua a 14 cm ka lōʻihi, ʻo ke kiʻekiʻe o ka pali i nā kāne he 4 cm (i nā wahine ʻaʻole kēia ʻano). ʻO ka ʻōpū o ka amphibian he melemele a ʻalani paha, ʻo ke kua, ke poʻo a me nā wāwae he ʻoliva i ke kala me nā mea o ke keleawe. Aia nā kiko ʻeleʻele i ke kino o ka holoholona, a me nā kaha ʻāhinahina ma nā ʻaoʻao.
He wāwae kiʻekiʻe ko ka moʻo ʻĀkia Minor me nā manamana wāwae lōʻihi. ʻO nā wahine ke nānā aku, he lokomaikaʻi. ʻOi aku ko lākou akahai, like ko lākou ʻili kala.
Ka hana a me ka meaʻai
Alakaʻi nā Amphibians i kahi nohona huna. Hoʻomaka ka wā o ka hana i ka hola pō pō. Ma kahi o ʻehā mau mahina i ka makahiki, aia nā newts ʻĀkia Minor i ka wai, kahi, ʻoiaʻiʻo, pili lākou. Ma ka ʻāina, makemake nā holoholona e peʻe ma lalo o nā pōhaku, nā lau i hāʻule, ka ʻili lāʻau. ʻAʻole hiki i Newts ke kū i ka lā a me ka wela. Me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻoilo, hibernate nā amphibians, kahi a lākou e koho ai i kahi mehameha a noho paha i ka lua o kekahi.
ʻO ka Asia Minor newt kahi predator e manaʻo maikaʻi loa i ka wai. Aia i ka papaʻai o nā mākua nā pepeke, nā ilo, nā ʻenuhe, nā nananana, nā lāʻau, nā ʻūlū, nā crustacea a me nā meaola ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka hana hou a me ke ola o ke ola
I ka hopena o ka hoʻoilo, hoʻomaka nā mea hou i nā pāʻani moʻa. Ke hoʻomehana ka wai a hiki i ka 10 kekelē Celsius, mākaukau nā holoholona e hui. Hoʻololi nā kāne i ke kala o ke kino, hāpai i ko lākou kiʻekiʻe, a hoʻomaka e hana i nā kani kikoʻī. Hele mai nā wahine i ke kāhea o ka mea i wae ʻia a hoʻokomo i ka mucus i loko o ka cloaca, i hūnā ʻia e kahi kāne kāne. Waiho ʻia nā hua ma ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā keiki i nā lau a me nā mea kanu wai. I loko o hoʻokahi pule, ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā larvae liʻiliʻi, kahi ʻauʻau i ke kakali o ke kūkulu hou ʻana. Ma hope o 5-10 mau lā, hiki i nā pēpē ke ʻai i nā ʻelala, molluscs a me kekahi me kekahi. Ma hope o 6 mau mahina, lilo ka larva i makua.
Noho ʻo Newts mai 12 a 21 mau makahiki.
