Mai ka wā kamaliʻi ke ʻike mākou ʻelepani i loko o ke kiʻi, ala aʻe ko mākou naʻau. He holoholona kupaianaha kēia i hiki ʻole ke huikau me kekahi mea ʻē aʻe. Mai ka wā kamaliʻi, nānā mākou i kēia holoholona ma ke ʻano he ʻano ʻano, akamai a naʻauao. Akā ʻoiaʻiʻo nō, he mea pono ke hoʻokolokolo.
Pehea i ʻike ʻia ai nā ʻelepani ma ka honua
Hoʻi i nā lā o nā dinosaurs, ʻo ia hoʻi, 65 miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hele nā kūpuna o nā proboscis o kēia manawa ma ka honua. Ua nānā iki lākou e like me nā ʻelepani o kēia wā, akā, like lākou me nā tapir a, e like me ka ʻepekema, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea āpau i loaʻa iā lākou ma ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAigupita o kēia manawa. ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia kekahi kumumanaʻo i lilo i holoholona ʻokoʻa loa i kūpuna no ka ʻelepani, nona ka wahi ʻo ʻApelika a me Eurasia.
ʻO nā kūpuna o nā ʻelepani e komo pū me Deinotherium, a lilo i 2.5 miliona mau makahiki i hala. Ma waho, he holoholona like like lākou me ka ʻelepani, he liʻiliʻi wale nō, me kahi kumu pōkole. A laila ʻike ʻia ʻo gomphoteria.
ʻO lākou, he like me nā ʻelepani, aia wale nō iā lākou he 4 hefty tusks i wili i luna a i lalo. Ua lilo lākou i 10 mau makahiki i hala aku nei.
ʻO Mamutids (mastodons) kekahi mau "kūpuna" o nā ʻelepani hou. Ua ʻike ʻia he 10 miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei a lilo i ka wā i puka mai ai ke kanaka - 18 tausani mau makahiki i hala. Ua uhi ʻia ke kino o kēia mau holoholona i ka huluhulu mānoanoa, ua lōʻihi nā ʻūlū, a pēlā pū ke kumu.
A i kēia manawa iho mai nā mammoths mai o lākou (1.6 miliona mau makahiki i hala). Ua ʻoi iki ke kiʻekiʻe o nā mammoth ma mua o nā elepani o kēia au, he huluhulu mānoanoa a me nā koʻi nui. ʻO nā mammoth wale nō o nā ʻano like me nā ʻelepani.
Ma hea e noho ai nā ʻelepani
I kēia manawa ʻaʻohe hulu hipa ma nā ʻelepani, a ʻaʻole lākou e pono ia, no ka mea me ko lākou wahi e noho ai me kahi mehana, a i kekahi manawa wela loa ke aniau. Nui ka manaʻo o ka elepani ʻApelika ma ka ʻāina o nā ʻāina ʻApelika - Kenya, Zambia, Kongo, Somalia, Namibia a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole mahana ia i kēia mau ʻāina, wela wela ia. Hele nā Elepani i ka savannah, kahi o nā mea kanu a me ka wai.
ʻOiai, me ka ulu ʻana o nā kūlanakauhale, waiho ʻia nā ʻelepa me nā wahi kūpono a liʻiliʻi hoʻi, akā hana ke kanaka i nā mālama kūlohelohe, nā pāka aupuni, kikoʻī i mea ʻole e hoʻoweliweli i ke ola o nā pilikua. I nā pāka like, ke hoʻomaka nei ka hana e pale aku i nā holoholona mai ka poʻe mākaʻi holoholona.
Noho nā ʻelepani ʻĀnia ma Vietnam, Thailand, India, Laos, Kina, Sri Lanka. Makemake lākou i nā mea ulu o ka nahele, no laila hele lākou i ka nahele. ʻOiai ʻo ka ululāʻau impenetrable ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopilikia i kēia mau holoholona, i ka ʻokoʻa, aia ma laila kahi elepani hihiu holoʻokoʻa i ola ai hoʻi. Eia nō naʻe, paʻakikī loa ke aʻo ʻana i kēlā mau ʻelepani.
Wehewehe
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he holoholona naʻauao a maluhia hoʻi ia. Me kona nui nui, ʻo ka ʻelepani kāna mea nāna i hoʻomake, a ʻai wale i nā ipu meaʻai. Ua hana lōʻihi ke kanaka i ka ʻelepani i mea kōkua nona. A ua hiki kēia no ka mea he akamai loa ka holoholona nui, hoʻomaʻamaʻa maʻalahi, a ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo lōʻihi ke kanaka e pili ana i ka hoʻohana o kona mana.
Ma waho o nā hiki i ka noʻonoʻo, hoʻomohala maikaʻi ʻia nā manaʻo he nui i kahi ʻelepani. ʻIke ʻo ia i ka huhū, huhū, kona ʻano palupalu i nā keiki ma ʻō aku o ka palena o ka ʻano maʻamau, hele mai ʻo ia e hoʻopakele i kāna mau hoa, hōʻike maikaʻi i nā manaʻo maikaʻi.
Ma muli o kou noʻonoʻo, ka maluhia a me nā hiki holoholona kapu ʻelepani i kekahi mau ʻāina, e like me Thailand a i ʻole India.
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka holoholona nui loa ma ka honua. Eia nō naʻe, ke hiki i ka ʻelepani ke kaupaona i 7 tone a me ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o 4 mika, ʻo ka mammal nui ka kohola polū. ʻO ka koholā Sperm ka ukali i ka nui. Akā ma ka ʻāina ʻo ka ʻelepani ka holoholona nui loa.
Kaumaha
Ma ke ala, pono wau e ʻōlelo ʻaʻole nui nā ʻelepani āpau. ʻO ka elepani ʻApelika nui loa. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā ʻelepani India ma mua o ko ʻApelika, hiki i kā lākou wahine i ka nui o 4.5 mau tona wale nō, a ʻo nā kāne he 1 tone ka nui. Akā aia kekahi mau ʻano liʻiliʻi o nā ʻelepani i kaupaona ʻole ma mua o 1 tone.
Iwi iwi iwi
I mea e kākoʻo ai i kēia mau tona o ke kaupaona, pono ʻoe i ka iwi kuamoo ikaika a hilinaʻi hoʻi. ʻO ia, ka iwi iwi. He ikaika a nui ka iwi o ka ʻelepani. Aia ia ma nā iwi iwi o ka holoholona he poʻo nui, poʻo lae, i hoʻonani ʻia me nā ʻā nui. Mai iā lākou hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo i ka ʻōpio a ʻelemakule paha o ka elepani, no ka mea ʻo ka holoholona ka makahiki, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā tusks iā ia.
I hoʻokahi makahiki, piʻi kā lākou ulu i 18 cm! Akā ʻaʻole kēia na nā kānaka āpau. I ka ʻelepani Asia ponoʻī, waiho ʻia nā tusks i ka waha a he incisors maʻamau. Akā ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā makahiki o ka holoholona e nā niho - nā kahiko i nā makahiki he nui, a ulu nā niho ʻōpio e pani iā lākou.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e nānā i ka iwi iwi, akā i ka holoholona ponoʻī, ʻo ka mea mua i hopu i kou maka ka pepeiao nui. Hoʻomaha wale kēia mau pepeiao i ke anuanu a me ke kau mālie, ke wela ia, ʻūlū nā ʻelepani iā lākou iho me lākou, e ʻalalā ana.
Eia kekahi, ʻo ia mau pepeiao hoʻoneʻe pū kekahi ke ala o ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma waena o nā mea pili. Ke kū pono i nā ʻenemi, hoʻoweliweli ka wili ʻana o nā pepeiao i ka ʻenemi.

A i kēia manawa, ʻo ka mea ʻoi loa o ka elepani ke kahaha. Aia kēia nani me 200 kilokika o nā uaua a me nā mākala, a he lehelehe fuse me ka ihu. ʻO ke kumu ka mea kaua nui a ka ʻelepani no ka pale ʻana, hānai ʻana, inu ʻana, a me nā mea e pono ai.
ʻO kahi laʻana, hoʻopā loa ke nānā aku i ka wā e hoʻopaʻa ai nā ʻelepani liʻiliʻi i ka huelo a ko lākou makuahine me kā lākou pahu i mea e mālama mau ai i ka pūʻā. A inā komo ka pēpē i kahi kūlana maikaʻi ʻole, e huki ka makuahine iā ia i waho, me ke kōkua o ke kumu.
ʻAʻole hoʻohana koke nā keiki i ka makana o ke ʻano, no ka laʻana, ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻohana ia no ka inu ʻana. Akā i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, maopopo iā lākou ka mea a kahi adaptation kūʻokoʻa i loaʻa iā lākou ma ko lākou poʻo.

Akā ʻaʻole ia wale ke poʻo me ka pahu i kū hoʻokahi, ua hana maikaʻi ʻia nā ʻelepani. ʻO kahi laʻana, i kēlā me kēia manawa ke kahaha i ka neʻe ʻana o kahi holoholona nunui, hana maoli, mai hana i nā leo. Hiki i kēia hele ma muli o ke ʻano kūikawā o ka wāwae.
Aia kekahi mānoanoa o ka momona ma ka wāwae o ka ʻelepani, kahi e palupalu ai ka ʻanuʻu. A eia naʻe, he ʻelepani, he holoholona kēia e kaena ana i ʻelua pāpale kuli ma hoʻokahi kuli! ʻAʻole hāʻawi ʻia ke kāne i kahi mea leʻaleʻa.

Ikaika ke kino o ka ʻelepani, paʻa paʻa, uhi ʻia me ka ʻili piʻipiʻi. Aia nā hulu ma ka ʻili, akā ua ākea loa ia a ʻaʻole hāʻawi i ka ʻili i kekahi kala. Akā, ʻo ka mea hoihoi, hiki i nā ʻelepani ke hina, ʻeleʻele, a me ka poni.
Loaʻa kēia ma muli o ka pīpī ʻana o nā holoholona iā lākou iho me ka lepo a me ka lepo i mea e hoʻonāukiuki ʻole ai nā kolo iā lākou. A no laila, ma kahi e noho ai ka ʻelepani, he aha ke ʻano o ka lepo ma laila, he ʻokoʻa ke kala o ka ʻelepani.
Ma ke ala, ʻo kēia ke kumu e hiki ʻole ai ke ʻike koke ʻia nā ʻelepani mai kahi mamao aku e kūʻē i ke kumu o ka lepo. ʻO kēia, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopakele iā lākou mai nā ʻenemi mai, no ka mea ʻaʻole makaʻu ka ʻelepani i nā ʻenemi, akā ʻaʻole ia e ʻae iā lākou e hoʻopilikia i nā malihini kipa ʻole ʻia.
Akā he paʻakikī loa nā ʻelepani me ka ʻili keʻokeʻo (albinos). Pepehi wale ʻia lākou no ko lākou kala waiwai. ʻOiai, Elepani keʻokeʻo hauʻoli ʻo ia i nā keu pono āpau inā hele ʻo ia i kēlā mau lāhui e hoʻomana iā lākou, e like me kahi holoholona laʻa. Pau ke kino me kahi huelo liʻiliʻi, ma ka hopena kahi lola. ʻAʻole fluffy ka palaki, akā hiki i nā ʻelepa ke hoʻopaʻa wiwo ʻole i kēlā huelo.
Nā ʻokoʻa ma waena o nā ʻelepani India a me ʻApelika
A i kēia manawa, no ka nani o ka ʻoki ʻana o ka ʻelepani, ʻo kona pōmaikaʻi nui i kāna mau noʻonoʻo pono. Hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi kēia mau holoholona ʻaʻole wale i nā hana he nui a lākou e hana ai i ka wā e hana ana, hiki iā lākou ke huki, loaʻa iā lākou kahi ʻono i ke mele.
A ʻaʻole ʻo ia wale nō, no ka mea, ua aʻo wale ʻia nā ʻelepani ʻApelika a me ʻInia. I ka nānā mua ʻana, he holoholona like kēia, a ʻaʻole hiki i kahi kanaka naʻaupō ke hoʻoholo iki i kahi ʻokoʻa, akā naʻe:
- Elepani ʻApelika hou aku. ʻOkoʻa ka nui o nā kānaka o ka makahiki like i ke kaupaona, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻelepani ʻApelika ma mua o ka ʻInia, ma kahi o 2 tone, a ʻike nui ʻia kēia;
- ʻoiai ka nui o kona kaumaha, ʻoi aku ka lahilahi ke kumu o ka ʻelepani ʻApelika ma mua o ko ka ʻInia;

- ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi a me ka wikiwiki o nā ʻelepani ʻĀnia ma mua o nā ʻelepani ʻApelika (ʻo ia mau mea he hiki ʻole ke hū), ʻoiai ʻo ʻApelika he holoholona akamai nā ʻelepani;
- ʻo ka lōʻihi o ke ola o ka ʻelepani India a me ʻApelika ʻokoʻa - ʻokoʻa nā ola o ʻApelika. ʻOiai, hilinaʻi nui kēia mau hōʻailona i nā kumu he nui.
ʻO ka mea e hoʻoleʻaleʻa ai, ua hoʻāʻo ka poʻe e hoʻopili i ka poʻe India a me ʻApelika, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i hāʻawi ʻia kahi hopena. Hōʻike kēia i ka ʻokoʻa o nā ʻelepani.
Pehea e ola ai nā ʻelepani
Hōʻiliʻili ka ʻelepani i nā pūʻā hānau nui - ʻelepani. ʻO kēlā me kēia ʻelepani elepani ke poʻo ʻia e kekahi wahine elepani - ʻelemakule, ʻike a me ka naʻauao. Ua maopopo iā ia kahi o nā nāhelehele lush, kahi o ka wai, pehea e ʻike ai i nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo nui. Akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia e kuhikuhi wale i ke ala i kahi ola "ʻono", akā e mālama pono hoʻi i ka ʻoka.
Ma ke ʻano he kaulike, ʻākoakoa nā wahine a me nā kāne ʻōpio loa i loko o ia ʻano holoholona. Akā ʻo nā kāne, ka mea i ola i ka wā makua, ʻaʻole makemake lākou e noho i kahi ʻano holoholona a haʻalele e noho kaʻawale. A inā ʻaʻole hoʻokahi, a laila pū pū me nā ʻelepani kāne like. ʻO lākou, ʻoiaʻiʻo, hele lākou i nā holoholona o ka ʻohana, akā ke hānau wale lākou.
A i kēia manawa, ola ka pipi ma kāna kānāwai ponoʻī, kahi e hoʻokō ai kēlā me kēia i kā lākou kuleana. ʻO kahi laʻana, hānai ʻia nā holoholona ʻōpio e nā kau bipi holoʻokoʻa. He mea hanohano ka pale ʻana i ka ʻōpio no kēlā me kēia kau. Inā kū kahi hoʻouka, a laila hoʻopuni ka hānai holoʻokoʻa i ka pēpē me ke apo a paʻakikī ka ʻenemi. Akā pio pinepine ka ʻelepani i ka poʻe ʻaihue a make paha i nā ʻeha a lākou e hoʻokau ai.
Makemake nā Elepani e kokoke i ka wai, no ka mea pono lākou e inu ma ka liʻiliʻi 200 liters i kēlā me kēia lā. Ma ke ala, ʻaʻole ʻike ka poʻe āpau, akā i ka wā e kau ai kahi maloʻo, hoʻomaka ka ʻelepani i ka ʻeli ʻana i nā luawai, a hoʻopakele ka wai i nā holoholona ʻelepani wale nō, akā i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe he nui.
Holoholona holoholona Elepani maluhia. ʻAʻole kipi nā kānaka nunui. ʻAe, hiki i ka make ʻana o kekahi holoholona no ko lākou kumu, akā ʻo ka pinepine o kēia hana ma muli o ka hehi wale ʻia ʻana o ka holoholona lohi e kahi pūʻā makaʻu, ʻaʻohe manawa e huli i ko lākou ala i ka manawa. I kekahi mau manawa, ʻaʻole hiki kēia.
He kaumaha loa i ka wā he ʻelepani kahiko, ke kakali nei i ka make, aloha malū i kona mau hoahānau, a laila haʻalele i ka hale kupapaʻu ʻelepani, kahi i make ai kona mau kūpuna. He mau lā kona, ma mua o kona make ʻana, e noho wale ma laila. ʻO ka ʻelepani ponoʻī a me kona ʻohana ʻike i kēia, a pili a palupalu hoʻi kā lākou aloha.
Wā ola
Noho lōʻihi nā ʻelepani ma ke pio ʻana ma mua o ke kūʻokoʻa. A ʻaʻole ia he hewa loa ke kāhea ʻana i nā wahi i hana kūikawā ʻia no ka noho ʻoluʻolu a me ka palekana o nā holoholona "forcibly". ʻO kēia nā pāka, nā mālama kūlohelohe, nā wahi i pale ʻia mai nā poachers, nā wahi kahi i hana ʻia ai nā kūlana maikaʻi loa no ke ola o nā pilikua.
I ka nahelehele, ʻaʻole pale ʻia nā ʻelepani mai ka hopu ʻana i nā mea kaua, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke pale iā lākou iho i nā maʻi, nā ʻeha, nā ʻeha, a hoʻemi loa kēia i ko lākou ola. ʻAʻole makaʻu ka pilikua i nā tigika a me nā liona, akā ʻo nā ʻeha o kā lākou hoʻouka kaua nui loa i ka poʻe ola. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo kahi ʻeha liʻiliʻi i ka wāwae a i ʻole kumu o kahi holoholona pale ʻole hiki ke hoʻoweliweli me ka make, ʻoiai kahi veterinarian wale nō e pono ke mālama pono i ka ʻeha.
Pili ka manaolana ola i nā kumu he nui. ʻO kahi laʻana, mai ke ʻano laha a ke kanaka, kahi e noho ai, kahi mea e ʻai ai, ke ʻano mālama e mālama ai. ʻO nā elepani ʻApelika, e noho nei i nā savannah, ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi. Hiki iā lākou ke manaʻo maikaʻi ma 80. Akā ʻo nā ʻelepani e noho ana i nā ululāʻau e noho nei ma 10-15 mau makahiki i emi iho, he 65-70 mau makahiki wale nō.
I ka manawa like, kahi elepani India me nā kūlana nohona maikaʻi (nā pāka aupuni) hōʻike i kahi ola o 55-60 mau makahiki wale nō, kokoke i 20 mau makahiki i lalo o ka ʻApelika. I ka nahele hihi, eia nō naʻe, ʻaneʻane hiki ʻole ke ola i kēlā mau ʻelepani a 50 mau makahiki.
Meaʻai kūpono
I mea e hānai ai i kahi mea aloha, pono i kahi elepani ke kiʻi i meaʻai nāna iho kokoke i ka lā holoʻokoʻa. A pono ʻoe i ka meaʻai he nui - a i 400 kg o ka nui ʻōmaʻomaʻo i hoʻokahi lā wale nō.Elepani hoʻouna i nā mea āpau e kūpono i ka meaʻai me kāna kumu i loko o ka waha - nā lau, nā lālā, nā mauʻu, nā hua o nā kumulāʻau a me nā kumu lāʻau. Laki nō kēlā mau ʻelepani e noho pio ana.
Hānai ʻia nā holoholona i ka mauʻu, cereal, nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu. Hoʻopau ʻia ʻo Hay a hiki i 20 kg, a ʻo ke koena i hoʻohui ʻia me ka kāpeti, nā kāloti, kaʻuala, zucchini, hāʻawi ʻia nā ʻoma. ʻOiai ma ka "berena manuahi", auwana nā ʻelepani i nā ʻāina o ka poʻe mahiʻai kūloko e ʻahaʻaina ai i nā mea kanu.
Minamina ia, akā pinepine ka poʻe e hana pū ana me nā ʻelepani i ka lawelawe ʻana i nā mākaʻikaʻi a i ʻole nā zoo liʻiliʻi e ʻae i ka hānai ʻana i kēia mau holoholona i nā meaʻai weliweli loa na lākou, e laʻa me nā meaʻono. Hoʻohālikelike ʻole ʻia kēia, akā manaʻo ka ʻoihana hoʻokipa "i kekahi makemake no kāu kālā."
Hoʻopiʻi hou
Ke piha nā makahiki 14 (15) i nā kāne, a hiki nā wahine i ka 12-13 mau makahiki, hoʻomaka ka ʻōpio. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole kēia ka makahiki kikoʻī e hoʻoholo ai i ka manawa o ka moekolohe; he mea nui kekahi mau mea ma aneʻi. ʻO kahi laʻana, ka nui o nā meaʻai, ka loaʻa o ka wai, ke olakino o kekahi holoholona.
Akā inā ʻaʻohe mea keakea, a laila hōʻea ka wahine i ka makahiki "aloha" a hoʻomaka e hoʻopuka i kahi pilau, kahi e loaʻa ai nā kāne iā ia. Ma ke ʻano he nui, nui nā kāne. Akā koho ka wahine i ka ʻoi. Hōʻike ʻia kēia i nā hakakā i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e nā "koa koa". ʻO ka mea lanakila o ua duel lā ke aloha i ke kaikamahine.
Kūleʻa ka hauʻoli hauʻoli mai kahi kau. Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kāne, nāna i hana i nā mea āpau i manaʻo ʻia iā ia, ʻaʻole ia e haʻalele koke i kāna "ipo". No kekahi mau manawa aia pū lākou, e hele wāwae ana, hānai, basking i loko o ka wai, a laila wale lākou e hoʻokaʻawale - hoʻi ka ʻelepani i ka ʻohana, a haʻalele ka ʻelepani, ʻaʻole e hui hou me kāna "Juliet" a i kāna hua paha.
Loaʻa ka manawa nui o ka wahine i kona ola - hāpai. Lōʻihi ka manawa, ʻaneʻane ʻelua mau makahiki (22-24 mau mahina). Ma muli o ia mau huaʻōlelo, hoʻoweliweli pinepine ʻia ka ʻelepani no ka luku ʻia ʻana, no ka mea hiki ke pepehi ʻia kekahi ʻelepani i hoʻokahi minuke, a he ʻelua mau makahiki e hoʻopuka ai i kahi keiki bipi.
Ma hope o ka hāpai lōʻihi ʻana, hānau ʻia he ʻelepa keiki 1. ʻO ka liʻiliʻi, ʻike ʻia nā ʻelepa ʻelua. No ka hānau ʻana, neʻe aku ka ʻelepani mai ka ʻohana kau, akā hoʻokahi wahine ʻoi aku ka ʻike i koe me ia. Hoʻi ka makuahine i ka pipi me kahi elepani pēpē i hiki ke kū ma kona mau wāwae, ʻike pehea e inu ai i ka waiū, a pili paʻa i ka hiʻu o ka makuahine me kāna kumu liʻiliʻi.
He mammal ʻo Elephant, no laila hānai ka wahine i ka ʻelepani pēpē me kāna waiū. E noho ke keiki i loko o ka pipi a hiki i kona lilo ʻana i makua piha. A laila, inā he kāne kēia, e haʻalele ʻo ia, e hele wale ʻo ia a i ʻole i ka hui o ua mau kāne mehameha lā, akā e noho ke kaikamahine ʻelepani i kāna ʻohana makua no ke ola.
Ka pilina o ke kāne me nā ʻelepani
Ua hoʻoholo ke kāne ma mua He holoholona holoholona ka ʻelepani a hoʻohana iā ia ma ke ʻano he kōkua. Eia nō naʻe, i loko o nā makahiki e noho nei ka ʻelepani me ka poʻe, ʻaʻole ia i loli i kekahi ʻano. A ʻaʻole mālama ʻia ka ʻōpua e ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā ʻelepani mai nā poʻe i hoʻohamaka ʻia, akā ma ke kiʻi ʻana i nā ʻelepani hihiu - ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi.
Elepani ʻāhiu ʻaʻole lōʻihi ka lōʻihi e aʻo ai, no laila ʻaʻole koi kēia hana i ka hoʻāʻo nui. ʻOiai, i ka manawa e male ai kahi wahine me kahi kāne, manaʻo ʻia kona hāpai ʻana, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i lawe ʻia e hana i kēia manawa. A i kēia manawa, ʻoiai hiki i ka elepani ke lilo i limahana ma 20 mau makahiki, ʻaʻohe mea e ake nui e hānai i kahi holoholona lapuwale no ka lōʻihi. A kūʻai ʻia nā ʻelepani, ma ke ʻano he kūlana.
