ʻO ka holoholona liʻiliʻi loa o ka genus llama ka vicuña. No ka ʻohana Camelidae nā mākamela a ʻike pinepine ʻia ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika Hema. He poʻe ruminants ʻo Vicuñas a ma waho e halihali i nā ʻano like me nā alpacas, guanacos a me nā kāmelo hoʻi. Mai ka mea hope loa, ʻokoʻa ka mamamals i ka loaʻa ʻole o kahi puʻupuʻu a me ka nui. ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o ka nohona o kēlā me kēia ʻohana Camelidae - aia lākou ma kahi kiʻekiʻe o 5.5 km. Hoʻohanohano ʻia ka holoholona e kona ʻano lahilahi, ka lokomaikaʻi a me kona ʻano.
Ka wehewehe a me ke ʻano o ka vicuna
Piʻi nā holoholona a 1.5 m ka lōʻihi, me ka awelika o 50 kg. He kapa tousled ko Vicuñas e palupalu ai i ka pā a mānoanoa. ʻO ia ka lālani lauoho e hoʻopakele i nā holoholona mai nā wā maikaʻi ʻole, e like me ka makani a me ka ua, ke anuanu a me nā wā maikaʻi ʻē aʻe.
He poʻo pōkole ʻo Vicuñas, pepeiao lōʻihi, a me ka ʻāʻī muscular e hiki ai iā lākou ke ʻike i nā ʻenemi ma kahi mamao loa. Ma ka ʻōpū, ma ke ʻano he kaulike, ʻaneʻane keʻokeʻo ke kala, ʻoiai ma ke kua he ʻeleʻele māmā. ʻO nā niho ʻoi e like me nā incisors ka hiʻohiʻona nui o nā vicuna mai nā ungulate ʻē aʻe. Me kā lākou kōkua, ʻoki maʻalahi ka holoholona i ka mauʻu a hauʻoli i ka pāʻina.
Makemake nā holoholona holoholona e mālama i nā hui o 5-15 mau kānaka. He alakaʻi kāne kāne ko kēlā me kēia ʻohana nona ke kuleana no ka palekana o ka "ʻohana" a mālama kiaʻi iā ia. Hoʻokomo ʻia kāna mau "kuleana" i ka manawa e aʻoaʻo aku i nā kau bipi i ke ʻano o ka weliweli ma ka hoʻopuka ʻana i kahi hōʻailona. Hiki ke kipaku ʻia ke alakaʻi kāne kāne i waho o ka ʻeke, e hoʻohewa ana iā ia i kahi ola mehameha.
Hoʻomaha ʻo Artiodactyls i ka pō a alakaʻi i kahi nohona hana i ka lā. Ma ka laulaha, noho mālie a maluhia nā vicuñas, akā i kekahi manawa capricious loa kā lākou hana.
Kaʻai kūpono a me ka hana hou
ʻOiai noho nā vicuñas i nā kūlana paʻakikī, ʻo nā mea āpau a lākou e ʻike ai ma laila ka meaʻai. Pāʻina ʻo Artiodactyls i ka mauʻu, lau, lālā, wana a nau pono i nā mea kanu. ʻAʻole makemake nā holoholona i ka ʻai ʻana i nā aʻa, akā hoʻomana lākou i nā mānoanoa o nā hua ʻāhiu.
ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā māmela manuahi i ka nāhelehele. I nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻāʻo ʻia nā vicunas e mālama piha ʻia. Ma muli o ka makaʻu o ka nalo ʻana mai ke alo o ko mākou honua, ua helu ʻia nā holoholona i ka Red Book.
Hoʻomaka ka wā kope i ka puna. Noho ka hapai ʻana no 11 mau mahina, a ma hope o ka hānau ʻia ʻana o nā keiki keiki. Aia nā pēpē ma kahi o ka makuahine ma kahi o 12 mau mahina a hānai iā ia ma kona ʻaoʻao. Ma hope o kahi wā o ke oʻo ʻana, noho mau nā mea māmele i loko o ka pā no ʻelua mau makahiki, a laila hele lākou i ke ʻano makua a me ke ola manuahi.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ka vicuna
Kū hoʻokahi ʻo Vicuñas i ko lākou ʻano a ʻaʻohe ʻano o lākou i ka honua. Hāpai nā holoholona i nā mea like i nā guanacos (a hiki pū me lākou), llamas a me nā kāmelo. Akā ke waiho nei ka ʻokoʻa i ke ʻano o nā āiwaha a me nā niho o ka māmala.
Manaʻo ʻia he ʻohana nā alpacas mai nā vicuna. I kēia lā he ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa ia o ka ʻohana Camelid. ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, ʻaʻole hiki i kahi loea loea ke hoʻokaʻawale i kahi vicuña kāne mai ka wahine, ʻoiai ʻaʻole dimorphism moekolohe ka ʻano o kēia ʻano holoholona. Nānā like nā kānaka āpau.
ʻIkepili Hoihoi
I nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hōʻiliʻili ka poʻe i nā pūʻulu nui o nā vicuna i mea e ʻoki ai i ka hulu o nā holoholona. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā māmela, a mai ka hopena o nā mea maka i hana ai lākou i nā lole no ka poʻe hanohano. Ua eo nā mea a pau i hoʻāʻo e hoʻolaʻa i nā vicuna. I kēia lā ua manaʻo ʻia ka hulu hipa i kekahi o nā mea rarest a pipiʻi loa hoʻi. I mea e hoʻopau ʻole ai i nā māmela, hana nā luna i nā hana e hōʻoia i ko lākou palekana.
Wahi a ka noiʻi, ua ʻike ʻia nā vicuñas ma nā Andes i ke kenekulia XII. BC.
