ʻO kēia mau holoholona kekahi o nā mea i koe a hiki i kēia lā ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kahi moʻolelo lōʻihi. He mau kaukani mau makahiki ma mua o ko mākou wā, e hoʻomana ka poʻe ʻAigupita i ka crocodile, e noʻonoʻo ana iā ia ka hoahānau kokoke loa o ke akua ʻo Sebek.
I ka Pae ʻAilana, ʻo ka poʻe e noho ana i kēlā manawa, i mea e pale aku ai iā lākou iho mai kēia mau holoholona, mōhai aku lākou i wahine puʻupaʻa i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Aia kekahi heluna nui o nā hui hoʻomana like ʻole i hoʻomana i nā crocodiles.
I kēia mau lā, he mau mea ʻaihue maʻalahi kēia, ma kekahi ʻano o nā hoʻonohonoho o ke kūlohelohe, ʻai ʻana i nā holoholona maʻi a nāwaliwali hoʻi, a me ko lākou mau kupapaʻu. ʻO nā Caimans nā mea kolo wale i like loa me ko lākou prehistoric, nā kūpuna i make.
Hōʻike Caiman
ʻO Cayman kāhea ʻia ʻōpalano ka ʻohana alligator. Ulu lākou mai hoʻokahi a i ʻekolu mau mika ka lōʻihi, a like ka lōʻihi o kona huelo a me ke kino. ʻO ka ʻili o ka caiman, ma ke kino holoʻokoʻa, uhi ʻia me nā lālani like o nā horny scutes.
ʻO nā maka kope kuni he melemele-ʻeleʻele i ke kala. Loaʻa i nā Caimans kahi membrane pale pale, mahalo iā ia, ke komo ʻia i loko o ka wai, ʻaʻole lākou e uhi iā lākou.
Ma he kiʻi ʻōpala caiman hiki ke ʻike ʻia he mau waihoʻoluʻu like ʻole nā holoholona, mai ka ʻoliva māmā a i ka mea eleele. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻololi i ko lākou malu e hilinaʻi ana i ka mahana o ka mahana a, e like me, ke kino. ʻO ke anuanu o ka mahana, ʻo kaʻeleʻele o ko lākouʻili.
He helehelena kupaianaha ko ka poʻe caimans makua, hana lākou i ke kani. ʻUʻē lākou i ka waha, hāmama i ka waha, akā ʻaʻole wale. Hiki iā lākou ke hae kūlohelohe e like me nā ʻīlio.
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa poʻe caimans mai nā mea hoʻohuli a me nā kolo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma muli o ka nele o nā maka maka e hoʻoponopono i ke kaulike wai-paʻakai, ʻaneʻane lākou āpau e noho i ka wai hou.
He ʻokoʻa kā lākou mau iwi ā; ʻaʻole nui a nui ʻoi aku nā caimans e like me nā crocodiles. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka iwi ā luna o nā caimans, no laila, pākī iki ʻia ka iwi ā lalo. Aia nā pā iwi ma ko lākou ʻōpū, ʻaʻohe i nā kolo.
Noho a me ka nohona o ka caiman
Noho nā Caimans i nā kahawai i ulu nui loa, nā waihona wai, nā kūpā me nā kahakai mālie a mālie hoʻi. ʻAʻole lākou makemake i nā kahawai hohonu me nā kahe nui. ʻO kā lākou leʻaleʻa makemake e burrow i nā mea kanu wai a noʻonoʻo no nā hola.
Makemake pū lākou i ka ʻai, no ka mea, ʻaʻole hoʻomaha iki ma ka ʻōpū hakahaka. ʻŌpio poʻe caimans ʻano nui ʻai invertebrates, nā midges like ʻole, nā pepelu a me nā kolo.
Ke ulu nei, hoʻololi lākou i nā meaʻai momona, ʻo kēia nā crustacean, pāpaʻi, iʻa liʻiliʻi, toads. Manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka helu o nā iʻa piranha ka mea e hoʻoponopono ʻia e nā caimans. ʻAi nā mākua i nā mea āpau e hanu a neʻe - iʻa, manu, nā mea kolo, nā mea hānai manu.
Akā, no ka mea hoʻoweliweli i ke ʻano o nā mea kolo, he ʻenemi ko lākou. ʻO ka mea mua, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ke kanaka like, nā mākaʻi holoholona, ʻoiai nā pāpā āpau, hoʻomau i ka lawaiʻa ʻana.
A i ke kūlohelohe - nā moʻo, luku lākou i nā pūnana o nā crocodiles caiman, ʻaihue a ʻai i kā lākou mau hua. ʻO Jaguars, nā anacondas nunui, a me nā otters nui e hoʻouka kaua i nā ʻōpio.
ʻO nā Caimans ma ke ʻano he huhū a huhū loa. ʻOi aku me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā wā o ka maloʻo, ke ola nei nā mea kolo i kēia manawa mai ka lima a ka waha, aia nā hanana o ka hoʻouka kaua i nā kānaka.
Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻouka palekana i ka caiman nāwaliwali, ʻānai iā ia a ʻai ia. A i ʻole e hoʻolei iā ʻoe iho i kahi holoholona i ʻoi aku ka nui a me ka ikaika ma mua o ka caiman iho.
Ke ʻike nei i ka mea pio, hoʻāhu ka mea kolo, ʻike nunui aʻe ma mua o ka maoli, hisses a laila hoʻouka. Ke ʻimi lākou i loko o ka wai, peʻe lākou i loko o nā ulu lāʻau, ʻaʻohe hiki ke ʻau aku i ka mea i hōʻeha ʻia, a laila hoʻouka wikiwiki lākou.
Ma ka ʻāina, he hihi koa maikaʻi ka caiman, ʻoiai i ka alualu ʻana, ulu ia i kahi wikiwiki a loaʻa maʻalahi i ka mea pio.
Nā ʻano o nā caimans
Nui a hewahewa nā ʻano cimodous crocodile, ʻokoʻa i kekahi me kekahi ma kekahi ʻano.
Crocodile a i ʻole ka caiman nui kupaianaha - noho ana kona mau lunamakaʻāinana i nā wai hou, akā he mau ʻohana kā lākou e neʻe i ka moana kai.
ʻO nā caimans spectacled he waena i ka nui, ʻo nā wahine hoʻokahi a me ka hapa mika, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kāne. He waha lōʻihi ko lākou, hoʻopili i ka hopena, a ma waena o nā maka, ma ʻō aku o ka waha, aia he wili e like me ke aniani o nā aniani.
Brown caiman - ʻo ia he ʻAmelika, he caiman pouli ʻo ia. Noho i nā wai wai piha a paʻakai o Colombia, ʻEkuador, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatymala, Mexico a me Ganduras. Ua helu ʻia nā mea kope i loko o ka puke Red no ka hopu nui ʻia e nā mea ʻino, a me ka luku ʻia ʻana o ko lākou mau home.
Dwarf caiman - aloha lākou i nā kahawai kahe wikiwiki o ka waoakua. Alakaʻi kēia ʻano laha i kahi ʻano terrestrial o ke ola, ʻokoʻa i nā congeners a neʻe manuahi mai kekahi a i kekahi kino wai. E hoʻomaha ai ma ke ala a lū i ka meaʻai, moe nā mea kolo i kahi lua.
ʻO Paraguayan Cayman, jacare a piranha - loaʻa kahi ʻano o kona niho. Ma ka iwi ā lalo, lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o lākou e hoʻonui ai i ka mea kiʻekiʻe, a hana i nā puka o loko. Ua helu ʻia kēia caiman i loko o ka puke Red a ma kāna mau wahi noho he nui nā māla crocodile e mālama a hoʻonui i kā lākou helu.
Kaimana ʻeleʻele ola i loko o nā waihona wai paakiki e kiʻi aku a paʻakikī. ʻO ia ka nui, predatory a me nā mea weliweli weliweli o ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa. ʻEʻeleʻele, ʻaneʻane ʻeleʻele i ke kala. Nui kēia mau kānaka, e hiki aku ana i ʻelima mau mika ka lōʻihi a ʻehā haneli mau kilokika i ke kaupaona.
Maka ākea aiʻole brazilian paha caiman - noho i Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivian, nā wai Brazil. Ma muli o kāna ʻano physiological - kahi mu mu nui a ākea, ua loaʻa i ka holoholona ka inoa kūpono.
Ma loko o kēia waha nunui, holo nā pale iwi i nā lālani. Pale aku ka kua o ka holoholona e kekahi papa o nā unahi i hoʻohuli ʻia. ʻEoma ʻōmaʻomaʻo ka caiman. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o kona kino ma mua o ʻelua mau mika.
Ka hana hou a me ke ola o nā caimans
Noho teritori ʻo Caymans, he kāne nui a ikaika hoʻi kēlā me kēia o lākou, kahi e kipaku ai i nā mea nāwaliwali, a ʻae paha iā lākou e noho mālie i kahi kaʻe. No laila, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā manawa o kēlā me kēia kanaka liʻiliʻi o ka hana hou a me ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka genus.
Ke ulu aʻe nā kāne ma mua o hoʻokahi a me ka hapa mika, a ʻoi iki ka liʻiliʻi o nā wahine, ʻo kēia ka makahiki ʻeono a ʻehiku paha o ke ola, ua oʻo lākou i nā kāne kolohe.
Me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kau ua, hoʻomaka pū ka wā hānau. Hana ikaika nā wahine i nā pūnana kokoke i ka waihona wai no ka hoʻomoe ʻana i nā hua. Hoʻohana ʻia nā lau pala, nā lālā, nā puʻupuʻu o ka lepo.
Hiki iā lākou ke ʻeli i kahi lua i ke one, a i ʻole waiho iā lākou ma nā mokupuni lana o nā mea kanu wai. Moe ka wahine mai ka ʻumikūmālima a i kanalima mau hua i hoʻokahi wahi, a i ʻole hoʻokaʻawale i ka paʻa i nā pūnana ʻē aʻe.
Hana ʻia ia i ka manawa e waiho ai nā wahine i kā lākou mau hua āpau i hoʻokahi pūnana nui, a laila huli lākou e pale iā ia mai nā ʻenemi kūwaho. Ke pale nei i nā keiki, mākaukau ka makuahine crocodile e hoʻouka i ka jaguar.
No ka mālama ʻana i ka mahana kūpono i loko o ka incubator i hana ʻia e ka home, kāpīpī ka makuahine i kēlā me kēia manawa a hemo paha i ka nui o ka wela ʻole.
Hāpai lākou, inā pono, lawe i ka wai i loko o ko lākou waha e hoʻohāinu i nā hua manu inā ʻaʻole lawa ka wai. Hānau ʻia ka hua ma kahi o ʻekolu mau mahina ma hope.
Aia ka moekolohe o nā keiki i ka wā e hiki mai ana i ka mahana i ka pūnana. Inā anuanu ma laila, a laila hānau ʻia nā kaikamahine, akā inā mehana, a laila kāne, kēlā me kēia.
Ma mua o ka puka ʻana o nā pēpē, kokoke ka wahine e kōkua i nā keiki hānau hou e hele i ka wai i ka wā hiki loa. Hānau ʻia nā pēpē i iwakālua mau kenimika ke kiʻekiʻe, me nā maka nunui a me nā ihu ihu. I ka hopena o ka makahiki mua o ke ola, ulu lākou a i kanaono cm.
A laila, no ʻehā mau mahina, nānā pono ka makuahine, kāna ponoʻī a me nā pēpē ʻē aʻe. Ma hope o kēlā, mākaukau nā keiki, no ke ola kūʻokoʻa, piʻi i luna i nā kāpena lana o geocynts a haʻalele i ko lākou home makua mau loa.
Noho nā Alligators a me nā cimod crocodile mai kanakolu a i kanalima mau makahiki. Aia kekahi poʻe koʻikoʻi i kū ʻole i ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi holoholona ʻano ʻole i kā lākou terrarium.
ʻO ka crocodile ka mālie loa o nā caimans. Akā hoʻonāukiuki ikaika ka poʻe loea i ka hana ʻana i kēia me ka ʻole o ka ʻike e pili ana i kā lākou lawena a me kā lākou maʻamau.
