Ka wehewehe a me nā hiʻohiʻona o ka liona kai
Pinniped liona kai manaʻo ʻia he pili kokoke i nā sila hulu a no ka ʻohana o nā wepa pepeiao e nā ʻepekema. Hoʻomoe ʻia, nui, akā maʻalahi a lahilahi hoʻi, i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana me nā ʻano o nā sila ʻē aʻe, hiki i ke kino o kēia māmala ke lōʻihi i ʻelua a ʻoi paha mau mika.
'Thislelo nui kēia kiʻi e pili ana i ka mahalo ka nui o ka liona kai... I ke ʻano o ke kaupaona, nui loa nā kāne, mahalo me ka ʻekolu haneli kilokika o ka ʻiʻo ola. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻekolu mau liʻiliʻi o nā liona liona ma mua o nā lunamakaʻāinana o ka hapalua kāne.
ʻO kaʻeleʻele maʻamau o nā holoholona heʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele-ʻeleʻele. E like me kāu e ʻike ai kiʻi o ka liona kai, uuku ke poo o keia mau mea wai; ua like ka waha me ka ʻīlio, elongated, me kahi ʻumiʻumi manoanoa i kapa ʻia ʻo vibrissae.
Kūleʻa iki ka maka o ka holoholona, nui ka nui. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā kāne i oʻo i ke oʻo e kahi kualina cranial i hoʻomohala nui ʻia, a ma waho e like me kahi kiko nui. Hoʻohui ʻia, kāhiko ʻia nā kāne me kahi mane pōkole i hana ʻia ma ka ʻāʻī e ka lauoho i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā wahine.
Ka wehewehe ʻana o ka liona kai hiki ʻole ke noʻonoʻo piha, me ka ʻole o nā hōʻailona hope loa i ʻōlelo ʻia, ʻoiai ʻo ia ka mea i lilo i kumu no ka inoa o kēia holoholona, he pololei loa ia, ʻoiai nā liona o ke kai hohonu e hana i nā leo e like me ke kani ʻana o ka leo. sila hulu.
He maʻalahi a me ka lōʻihi o ka ʻāʻī o nā holoholona. ʻO kā lākou pinnipeds pālahalaha me nā wāwae hoʻoneʻe e ʻae iā lākou e neʻe wikiwiki i ka ʻāina, kahi e hoʻokaʻawale ai iā lākou mai nā sila clumsy.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole leʻaleʻa ka hulu hipa o nā liona kai i ka nui o ka mānoanoa, eia hoʻi, he pōkole ia, no laila ua manaʻo ʻia he haʻahaʻa ma ke ʻano a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka waiwai ma mua o nā ʻohana ma ka ʻohana.
ʻO ka nohona liona kai a me kahi noho
Hoʻomaopopo ka poʻe biologists i ʻelima mau ʻano o ia mau holoholona. ʻO kekahi o lākou liona kai ʻākau, i kapa ʻia hoʻi he liona kai. Hoʻonani ʻia kēia holoholona me ka mane gula a me nā mae nui. ʻO ke kaupaona o nā kāne o kēia ʻano i 350 kg.
Hoʻolahalaha ʻia nā ʻōlapa liona kai kokoke ma kahakai holoʻokoʻa o ka Moana Pākīpika a me nā mokupuni kokoke. Loaʻa lākou i nā wai o ka Hikina Hikina, Iāpana, ʻAmelika a me Kanada. Ke kamaʻilio e pili ana i kēia ʻano, he mea nui e haʻi aku i nā liona kai he mea laha ʻole a pono ka pale.

Mai ka wā kahiko mai, ua ʻimi nā ʻōiwi o ka Honua Hou i kēia mau holoholona, i hoʻowalewale ʻia e kā lākou ʻiʻo, momona a me nā ʻili. A i ka hōʻea ʻana mai o ʻEulopa ma ka ʻāina, hoʻomaka koke nā kālepa lehulehu, kahi i ʻino ai ke kūlana o nā holoholona. Akā i kēia manawa aia nā kapu ʻoi loa i ka hopu a me ka ʻimi holoholona ʻana o kēia mau lunamakaʻāinana o ka holoholona.
ʻO nā kānaka pākahi o ka Australia, pili i ka wahine, ʻokoʻa loa i ke kala o ke kino. Kū i waho nā kāne me kahi aniani ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele, ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka māmā o nā wahine, a ke kaena pinepine nei i kahi kapa hina hina. ʻO kekahi ʻano ʻē aʻe o kēia mau holoholona e pono ai ka pale. Manaʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema i ka manawa i ʻike ʻia ai nā liona kai o Nūlani ma ke kūlohelohe i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o kēia manawa.
Akā i lilo i mea hōʻeha ʻia i ka hoʻomohala ʻoihana ma ke kenekulia ma mua o ka hopena, ua hōʻemi ʻia ko lākou heluna kanaka. A i kekahi mau wahi o kona wahi noho ma mua, no ka laʻana, ma ka Pae ʻĀina ʻo Auckland, ua hoʻopau loa ʻia kēia ʻano.
ʻO nā ʻano āpau o nā pinnipeds i hōʻike ʻia e ʻike ʻia e nā hiki noʻonoʻo noʻonoʻo, e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e kekahi mau ʻāpana o ka lolo e hoʻomohala nui ʻia i loko o lākou. Kūleʻa nā holoholona i ka wai, ʻo ia ka mea nui wahi noho o nā liona kaikahi e hiki ai iā lākou ke hōʻike i nā mea kupaianaha maoli o nā acrobatics.
ʻO kēia mau mea, no ka hapa nui, nā kamaʻāina o ka hemisphere hema, i loaʻa ma kahakai ākea ma lalo o ka moana a me ke kai, ma nā kahakai one a me nā pōhaku, i nā ulu kai.
Ke hoʻolilo nei i ko lākou ola i ka wai mehana, ʻaʻole pono lākou i nā mālama nui o ka momona, no laila ʻaʻohe o lākou momona momona. ʻO kēia kūlana, a me ke ʻano haʻahaʻa o kā lākou hulu hipa, i hana i ka ʻimi holoholona ʻana no ka holoholona me ka waiwai ʻole, nāna i hoʻopakele iā lākou mai ka luku nui.
Eia nō naʻe, nui nā liona kai, e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia, pono mau i kahi pale kūikawā. Hoʻopili pū kēia mau mea, me ka hoʻohui i kēlā mau papa inoa i hōʻike mua ʻia, a me kekahi o nā lālā o Kaleponi - liona kai galapagos.
ʻO ke ala o ka noho ʻana o ia mau mea he holoholona, a ʻo ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o nā holoholona i kahi kūlohelohe he lehulehu loa. Noho lākou i ka manawa ma ka ʻāina, akā hele aku lākou i ke kai ākea.
I ka wā ʻauʻau, neʻe ikaika kā lākou forelimbs. Ke holo nei i kēia ala, neʻe nā holoholona i kahi o ka wai o ka moana. Hele maʻamau lākou i nā wahi mamao ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ma mua o 25 km, a mai hana i nā neʻe kau o ke kau.
ʻO nā ʻenemi o nā holoholona i ke kūlohelohe he kohola kohola a me nā manō, kahi a lākou e hoʻouka pinepine ai. Hoihoi ʻikepili e pili ana liona kai a me ka hōʻoia o ko lākou ʻike i hoʻomohala nui ʻia he mau mea kaʻawale e pili ana i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana o kēia mau lunamakaʻāinana no ka pale ʻana mai ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o nā mea ʻaihue i ka poʻe e holo ana ma luna o nā moku a me nā moku peʻa.
Mea ʻai liona kai
Hiki i nā holoholona kai i hōʻike ʻia ke luu a hohonu i hoʻokahi haneli mika a ʻoi paha, e lele ana i lalo mai kahi kiʻekiʻe he iwakālua mika. Ke neʻe nei i nā ʻano me ka maʻalahi a me ka nani o ka lele o kahi manu i ka lewa, alualu lākou i ka iʻa a me nā crustacea, ʻai i nā mollusks, a hoʻouka pū pinepine i kā lākou mea pio. He mea pono kēia ke kū mai nā kula iʻa nui.
Kuhi ka mea i luna aʻe nei ʻai liona kai e ka mea a ke kai hohonu e hoʻouna aku ai iā ia, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o kāna papaʻai pono e wehewehe ʻia ma muli o ka nohona.
ʻO kahi laʻana, hānai pinepine nā liona kai i ka herring liʻiliʻi, pollock a me capelin, nā halibuts nui a me nā greenlays, nā ʻano lehulehu o nā gobies a me nā flounders, a me nā perches, salmonids, ray, gerbils a me nā iʻa ʻē aʻe e noho ana i ke kai.
Pono e hoʻohui ʻia nā cephalopods a me nā heʻe, i kekahi mau kumu limu a ʻo ka manō hoʻi ka meaʻai na lākou. A ʻo nā hiʻohiʻona kāne kāne o nā liona kai hema ʻaʻole wale e ʻai i nā heʻe a me nā heʻe, akā e ʻānai pū hoʻi i nā penguin. Lawe pinepine lākou i kahi o ka lawaiʻa a nā lawaiʻa, e hao nei i kā lākou ʻupena.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana a me ke ola o ka liona kai
I ke kau moʻo ʻana, i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki ma kahakai i nā rookeries, ʻoi aku ka mālie o nā liona kai ma mua o, no ka laʻana, nā sila a ʻelepani paha. Noho i kekahi wahi a pale i kona mau palena mai ke komo hewa ʻana o nā malihini, liona kai kāne ʻoiai e komo pinepine i nā hakakā me nā ʻohana pili, e pale ana i kāna mau pono i kahi harem, i kekahi manawa he ʻumikūmālua, a ʻoi aku ka nui, nā wahine, akā ʻaʻole kū nā hakakā koko.
I ka kiʻi, he liona kai me kahi kūka
ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa i kēia kānāwai. ʻO kahi laʻana, nā liona kāne o ke kai hema hema, ke lilo lākou i mau mākua, mākaʻikaʻi i nā mele o ka hanauna kahiko e ʻimi nei i nā hoaaloha. Ma muli o ia mau hoʻouka kaua ʻana, kū pinepine nā hakakā ikaika, a loaʻa i nā mea nalo nā ʻehaʻeha koko.
I loko o kahi harem, noho mau ka poʻe i komo ʻole i ka hana hou i nā kihi o ka pūnaewele, e noho ana i kahi kaʻawale i ka rookery. A ME liona kai wahine ma hope o ka male ʻana, hānau lākou i kā lākou mau keiki no hoʻokahi makahiki holoʻokoʻa i mea e hāpai hou ai a ma hope o ka makahiki hou e hānau hou he keiki.
Ke makaʻala nei ka mea nona ka harem i nānā ʻole kāna mau punahele i ka ʻaoʻao a ʻaʻohe pili me nā hoa paio. Akā lākou iho, i kēia manawa, mākaukau e hana ia i kēlā me kēia manawa, ke nānā mau nei i ka waiwai o nā kāne ʻē aʻe.
ʻO kahi liona kai pēpē kiʻi ʻia
He hulu gula kā nā liona kai ma hope koke o ka hānau ʻana a kaupaona ʻana ma kahi o 20 kg. No nā lā mua, ʻaʻole lākou e haʻalele i nā makuahine e pale aku iā lākou. Akā ma hope o ka moʻo aʻe, hiki ke hana i hoʻokahi pule ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, hoʻomaka lākou e lilo i ka hoihoi i nā keiki a hele i ke kai no ka manawa lōʻihi e ʻimi ai i ka meaʻai. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻomau ka hānai ʻana o nā makuahine o nā liona kai i kā lākou keiki me ka waiū, a hiki i ka 30% momona o ka momona, ma kahi o ʻeono mau mahina.
Ma ka liʻuliʻu, hoʻomaka nā ʻōpio e ʻauwana i loko o kā lākou mau hui ponoʻī a aʻo i ke akamai o ke ola, e ulu ana i ka ʻōpio i nā hānai ʻōpio. Ma mua o nā kāne, oʻo nā wahine, pili i ka harem o nā kāne i ka makahiki ʻelua a ʻekolu paha makahiki.
ʻO nā kāne, ke hoʻokūkū nei kekahi i kekahi no ka nānā ʻana o ka poʻe i wae ʻia, ʻoi aku ka manawa paʻakikī i ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi manawa kūpono e paʻa ai ka harem i makemake ʻia, no laila loaʻa lākou i kā lākou wahine ponoʻī ma mua o ʻelima mau makahiki. Ma ka awelika, he ola ko nā liona kai ma kahi o ʻelua mau makahiki.
