Aia kekahi ʻano nui o nā sila pepeiao i ke kūlohelohe. I waena o lākou aia kekahi o nā lunamakaʻāinana nui a hanohano loa - liona kai. I kekahi ala ʻē aʻe, ua kapa ʻia ʻo ka liona kai.
Ke lohe ka poʻe i ka huaʻōlelo "liona" e noʻonoʻo ʻole ka poʻe āpau i ka mane hanohano a me nā paws ikaika o ke aliʻi o nā holoholona. ʻAʻole iā ia wale nō kēia inoa haʻaheo, akā no kekahi holoholona ʻē aʻe, nona nā peʻa ma kahi o nā paws nui, a me nā lauoho liʻiliʻi ma kahi o ka mane lush.
Noho kēia mau mōʻī o nā holoholona i ka mea wai. Hoʻoweliweli ʻia kēia ʻano i kēia manawa me ka luku ʻia, no laila liona kai no kekahi manawa i kēia manawa i ka Buke Ulaula.
I ka ʻike ʻana o ka mea kālaimeaola Kelemania ʻo G. Steller i kēia hana mana nui loa me ka mae a me ka ʻāʻī nui, nā maka gula a me ka hapa hope o ke kino, hoʻomanaʻo koke ʻo ia i nā liona. He mea like kēia mau holoholona.
ʻO kēia ke kumu i loaʻa ai i ka liona kai kahi inoa. ʻO kāna leo bass, i lohe ʻia ma kahi mamao loa ma ke ʻano o ka halulu, ʻaʻole ia i kānalua i ka pololei o ia inoa.
Ka wehewehe a me nā hiʻohiʻona o ka liona kai
ʻAno hoihoi wehewehe o nā liona kai. Nui ʻino kēia mau holoholona. Lōʻihi o nā kāne makua liona kai hiki ke piʻi i 4 mau mika, me ka kaumaha i ʻoi aku i ka 650 kg.
Aia ma waena o lākou kekahi mau mea nunui loa e kaupaona a i ke ton. Akā ʻaʻole maʻamau kēia mau liona kai. ʻO ke kumu, ko lākou awelika lōʻihi he 2.5-3 mau mika.
I ka kiʻi, he liona kāne kāne makua
ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne. Ma ka ʻāʻī ākea a me ka ʻūlū o nā holoholona he poʻo poepoe, me ka waha ākea, kahi e like ai me ka waha o ka bulldog, kahi ihu i kū i luna a wili lōʻihi.
Nā Maka holoholona liona kai liʻiliʻi i ka nui, ʻike ʻole ʻia. Ua like nā pepeiao. Nui a ikaika hoʻi kāna fin. Hoʻonani ʻia ka scruff a me ka ʻāʻī o nā kāne me nā lauoho elongated e like me ka scruff. Kōkua kēia i nā holoholona e pale iā lākou iho mai nā hahau kūpono mai kā lākou hoa hakakā i ka wā o ka hakakā.
I ke kala o kona kino, lanakila ka brown me ka yellowness. ʻAnoanoa kēia kala. Hana ʻia kāna mau loli i ke ola holoʻokoʻa liona kai liona kai. Hele pū ka ʻōpio me ke kala ʻeleʻele lahilahi.
Ma kahi kokoke i ka ʻōpio, hoʻomālamalama ka liona kai. ʻO nā hoʻololi i ke kala o ka holoholona e pili pū me ka loli o nā kau. I ke kau anuanu, lilo ka holoholona i pouli, ʻo kona aka e like me ka kokoleka. I ke kauwela, he mauʻu ʻōniʻoniʻo nā liona kai.
Hoʻonui ʻia ka lauoho me nā awn. Hiki ke ʻike ma lalo o nā liona kai, akā ʻaʻole maikaʻi ia. Liona kai ʻo Steller i ka kiʻi ʻaʻole nani ke nānā aku, a i ke ola maoli ʻaʻole nani ia, akā hoʻonāukiuki wale kēia holoholona i kekahi ʻano mahalo a me ke aloha.
I ke kiʻi, he wahine, he kāne a me ka liona liona kai
He polygamous kēia mau holoholona. ʻO ke kumu ia no ke kāne hoʻokahi he mea maikaʻi loa ia e māʻona i nā pono o nā wahine ʻelua a ʻoi paha. No laila, i ko lākou kaiāulu, hana pinepine ʻia nā haremes, akā me nā ʻano kemokalaka ma loko o lākou.
ʻAʻohe o ke kāne i ke kolohe i nā wahine me ke ʻano pilikino o ka naʻau kūʻē iā lākou. No laila, kahe malie a ana ʻia ko lākou ola, me ka ʻole o kekahi kuleana i kekahi.
ʻAʻole pono nā wahine me ko lākou beau. No kahi lede, hāʻawi kēia i kahi manawa kūpono e noho ai i kahi rookery pololei ma kahi āna e makemake ai.
Hānau ka wahine i hoʻokahi pēpē. Ma hope o kona hānau ʻana, hele a kolohe ka wahine a pale iā ia iho a me ka cub mai kahi hoʻopili aku.
ʻElua mau pule ma hope o kēia, hana ʻia ke kaʻina moena, a hāʻule ka hopena i ka hopena o Iune. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka hapa lua o Iulai e ka luku iki ʻana o nā rookeries a me ka palaho o nā harems.
He kāne wale nō kekahi rookery liona kai, kahi o nā bachelors no kekahi kumu i hoʻokele ʻole ai e hana i kā lākou haremene. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻano ʻokoʻa o nā makahiki, mai ka poʻe ʻōpio a i ka poʻe ʻelemākule. Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka wā hānau, hui nā kāne āpau i hoʻokahi kaiāulu holoʻokoʻa.
ʻAno mālie kēia mau holoholona i nā rookeries. Lohe wale ko lākou liona i kahi mamao loa, e like me nā pepeiaohao o nā mokuahi. Hana ʻia kēlā mau leo e nā kāne kāne makua. ʻO ka uō o nā wahine ua like ia me ka moo o nā bipi wahine. He sonorous a me ka wili kā nā keiki, ʻoi aku ka hoʻomanaʻo o nā leo o nā hipa.
ʻAʻole hāʻawi ke ʻano kolohe o nā liona kai i kahi manawa e hopu ola ai iā lākou. Kaua pinepine nā holoholona i ka hope, akā mai hāʻawi pio, no laila he kakaikahi loa o lākou e noho pio ana. Akā ua ʻike ʻia kekahi hihia atypical ke hana a kahi liona kai i mau hoaaloha me kahi kāne a nānā mau i loko o kona halelewa no ka meaʻai.
ʻO ka noho ʻana o ka liona kai o Steller a me kahi nohona
Māhele ʻia ke ola holoʻokoʻa o kēia mau holoholona i ʻelua mau manawa. – rookery a me ka poʻe holoholo. I ke kau hoʻoilo ola ka liona kai i ke kaiāulu o nā latitu mahana, ma waho o ke kapakai ʻo Mekiko. I ke kau puna o ka makahiki, kokoke i ke kauwela, neʻe ia i ke kapakai o ka Pākīpika. Loaʻa i kēia mau wahi nā kūlana āpau no ka hānau ʻana. sila liona kai.
Hiki i kēia mau hōkū ke luʻu i ka hohonu e loaʻa ai kā lākou meaʻai ponoʻī, he ʻauʻau kai maikaʻi loa lākou a he poʻe luʻu like. ʻO ka hapa nui ʻO nā liona kai ʻo Kamchatka ma ke kai komohana o. Sakhalin. I ka wā spring spring hiki ke ʻike ʻia lākou ma ka Tatar Strait. Makemake lākou e mālama i ka sparse a hana ʻole i nā huhui nui.
I ka wā harems ma ke kapa o nā rookeries, aia he 5-20 mau wahine no hoʻokahi liona kai kāne. No kēlā me kēia harem, ua koho mua ʻia kona ʻāina kaʻawale ponoʻī, kona nui i ka nui ʻoi aku i ka ʻano pākiko a me nā hiki o ke kāne ʻO ka manawa pinepine aia lākou ma kahi pālahalaha a ma kekahi manawa he 10-15 mau mika ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kai.
ʻO nā wahi punahele loa no kēia mau holoholona ʻo Kuril a me Commander Islands, ke kai o Okhotsk a me Kamchatka ma Lūkia, a me ka ʻaneʻane ʻo ka ʻāpana holoʻokoʻa o ke kapakai Pākīpika, e pili pū ana ʻo Iapana, USA, Kanada, Alaska a me Kaleponi. ʻO ka hapa nui o lākou āpau makemake lākou i nā pōhaku a me nā ʻalā pōhaku. ʻAʻole lākou makemake i ka hau.
ʻO nā kāne ka mea maʻamau e hiki mua i nā rookeries. Kaha lākou i ka panalāʻau, a me kahi ʻano hoʻokano a kolohe hoʻi, kiaʻi ia no kā lākou harem. Ma hope iki aʻe, hoʻopili nā wahine iā lākou a kokoke hānau koke i kā lākou pēpē, a lākou i hāpai ai i loko o ka makahiki, a mālama pono nā kāne i ka ʻāina.
Mea ʻai liona kai
Aloha kēia mau holoholona ʻānō i nā iʻa a me nā pūpū. ʻAi lākou i ka heʻe a me ka heʻe me ka hauʻoli nui. Inā pono, hiki iā lākou ke alualu i nā holoholona nui aku, i nā kikoʻī huluhulu.
ʻAi nā liona kai i nā heʻe
I ka manawa like, manaʻo ʻole lākou i kahi cub i mua o lākou a i ʻole kahi mākua. ʻAʻole ʻinikua ʻia lākou iho e kūʻē i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo hiki iā lākou ke lilo i meaʻai na nā mea ʻaihue o ke kai - manō a kohola kohola paha.
Ma ka hōʻuluʻulu, aia ma kahi o 20 mau iʻa i makemake ʻia e nā liona kai. Ua ʻike ʻia ka hilinaʻi nui o kā lākou makemake i ka wahi ʻāina.
ʻO kahi laʻana, aloha kēlā mau liona kai e noho ana i nā wai o Kaleponi i nā bass kai, halibut a flounder. ʻAi nui ʻia nā ʻiʻo kai, nā gobies, a me nā kumora e nā liona kai ma kahakai o Oregon.
I ke kiʻi, e hoʻi mai ana kahi liona kai wahine mai ka lawaiʻa ʻana
Ma ke kahakai o British Columbia, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻano iʻa. No laila, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻai o nā liona kai e noho ana ma ia wahi. ʻO nā limu, nā pōhaku a me ke one me nā ʻiliʻili i loaʻa pinepine i nā ʻōpū o nā liona kai.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana a me ke ola o ka liona kai
Mākaukau nā kāne e hoʻomau i kā lākou ʻano i ka makahiki ʻewalu, ʻoi aku ka mua o nā wahine - ma 3-5 mau makahiki. I ke kakahiaka nui, hoʻomaka lākou i kā lākou hana hou.
I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ʻo ka rookery i lanakila ʻia e nā kāne ma o nā kaua ikaika i kipa ʻia e nā wahine me nā kāne e copulate hou ai ma hope o kahi wā pōkole postpartum.
No kāna mau wahine āpau, ʻo ke kāne ka pale a hilinaʻi nui loa. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka wā hānau e ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o nā liona kai i ʻelua mau hoʻomoana - nā haremona a me nā rookeries bachelor.
Hānau ka liona wahine wahine i hoʻokahi makahiki. Hāʻule ka pēpē hānau ma lalo o ka mālama makuahine maoli o ka wahine, ʻaʻole ia e haʻalele maoli iā ia ma nā wahi āpau. Akā hala kekahi manawa, ulu a nui ka pēpē a haʻalele ka wahine i mea e loaʻa ai ka meaʻai nāna a me ia.
I ke kiʻi, he liona kai pēpē
Ma kahi kokoke i ke kauwela, ulu aʻe nā keiki, ʻaʻohe pono e patronize mau iā lākou, no laila ua wāwahi nā haremene, a hui wale nā holoholona me kekahi. Noho kēia mau holoholona hoihoi no 25-30 mau makahiki.
I kēia mau lā, ke emi nei nā liona kai. ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi ke hoʻomaopopo i ke kumu o kēia hana. Aia kekahi mau manaʻo e like me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe, hoʻopilikia maikaʻi ʻole ʻia e ka ʻinoʻino o ke kaiapuni, luku nui ʻia lākou e nā kohola kohola.
Eia kekahi, ʻo kahi kumu kūpono o ka nalo ʻana o nā liona kai i manaʻo ʻia e hopu ʻia e nā moku lawaiʻa o pollock a me herring, ʻo ia kā lākou meaʻai nui.
