Aia he 280 mau ʻano o ka ʻohana squirrel ma ka honua. Pili nā Gophers i ka papa o nā mammals mai ka genus o nā rodents a me ka ʻohana o nā squirrels, ʻehā mau manawa ka nui o ko lākou kino ma mua o kahi squirrel maʻamau. Ma mua o ke kanahā mau ʻano o kēia mau koʻokoʻo i ʻike ʻia.
ʻO ke kaupaona o kahi gopher mai ka ʻelua haneli karamu a i hoʻokahi a me ka hapalua kilokika, ʻo kona kino ma kahi o ʻumikūmālima kenimika ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka hapanui o nā gophers he hina-ʻeleʻele i ke kala, kahi kūpono loa no nā camouflage. Ma ka waha, ʻike ʻia nā niho kikio me ke kōkua o ka ʻeli ʻana i ka lua me ka ʻole o ka ale ʻana i ka honua.
No ke kumu hoʻokahi, ua hoʻomohala pono lākou i nā māiʻi ʻoiʻoi, ʻelima ma kēlā me kēia pā mua. Liʻiliʻi nā maka a me nā pepeiao, akā hoʻolako ka maka me nā lacrimal glands i hoʻonui ʻia, malia paha e hāʻawi i ka wai e holoi i ka lepo a me ka lepo.
ʻAʻole maʻamau ka mālama ʻana i kahi gopher ma ke ʻano he holoholona, akā ma kekahi mau wahi hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kēlā holoholona no ke kūʻai aku. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i gopher ma nā hale kūʻai o nā holoholona, hoʻolilo ʻia ia ma ke ʻano he holoholona hānai.
Inā makemake ʻia, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa e hele wāwae ma ka leash a hoʻokō i nā kauoha. Inā kūʻai liʻiliʻi ʻia ke koʻokoʻo, ʻaʻole ia e nahu a ʻike ʻo ia i ka makaʻu. Pili lākou i nā poʻe a aloha nui lākou.
Nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā wahi noho
Noho ʻo Gophers kahi hui o nā holoholona, nā kolone liʻiliʻi o iwakālua a ʻoi paha mau kānaka, ka hapanui o nā makuahine hoʻokahi me nā keiki, mākaukau e hoʻopakele kekahi i kekahi. Noho ʻo Gophers i nā lua i hoʻokahi mika ka lōʻihi, a ʻeli lākou iā lākou iho, ʻo nā puka komo i nā lua āpau kokoke loa kekahi i kekahi.
Kaha ʻia nā lua i nā puʻu liʻiliʻi. Hiki i kēlā mau tunnels ke holo ma lalo o nā kahawai a me nā loko. Ma loko o ka hale, kūkulu ʻia kahi keʻena pūnana me ka mauʻu maloʻo. I loko o kahi pūnana, moe ka gopher i ka hoʻoilo a pau a me ka hapa nui o ke kauwela, e ʻai ana i ka momona i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i ka wā e ala ai i ka moeʻuhane.
I ka wā hoʻoilo, ʻai ʻo ia i nā ʻanoʻano a me ka mauʻu i mālama ʻia i loko o ka lua. Makemake nā holoholona e noho ma nā wahi ākea i nā kula, nā steppes, semi-Desert a hiki i ka wao akua. Teritori kēia mau koʻokoʻo a ʻaʻole makemake i ka noho pū ʻana i nā ʻoihana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ʻelua mau kānaka ma ka lua.
Noho i nā steppes wela, pono ka holoholona e hūnā ma hope o kāna huelo e like me ka malu e pale ai i ka wela nui. I ke awakea, ke kokoke ka lā i kāna zenith, he leʻaleʻa ko nā gophers i nā lua nani. ʻOiai ʻo nā squirrels lepo mai ka ʻohana squirrel, maikaʻi lākou i ka piʻi ʻana i nā kumulāʻau.
ʻO ke ʻano a me ka nohona
Holoholona holoholona Gophers akamai loa a me ka waiwai. He mau ʻenemi lākou he nui e like me ka hawks, aeto, nāhesa, lynx, raccoons, antelope, coyotes, badgers, nā ʻīlio hae a me nā ʻalopeke. ʻAʻole noʻonoʻo lākou āpau i ka ʻai ʻana i kahi gopher i hānai maikaʻi ʻia.
Hiki iā lākou ke ʻimi no kā lākou ʻili, i hoʻohana ʻia i ke humuhumu ʻana i nā huahana huluhulu. Me ke kānalua o ka makaʻu, kū ke gopher ma kona mau wāwae hope a nānā a puni. ʻUā nā holoholona i ka makaʻu, ke hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i kahi ʻūlū a i ʻole ka whist, e hōʻike ana i ka ʻohana a koi iā lākou e peʻe i nā lua.
E hoʻolohe i ka gopher
Eia kekahi, ke hoʻokokoke aku nei kahi kāne, kahi moʻo a manu paha, hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā kani o nā tona like ʻole, e ʻike nei i ka mea e hele kokoke mai ana. Kekahi o ka pūʻolo mea mau ma ka hana, makiʻi o ka squirrel honua holoholona hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike iā ia e kū ana i kona wahi.
ʻIke nā maka o nā holoholona ma muli o ko lākou noho pinepine ʻana i lalo o ka honua, no laila piʻi lākou i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe i ʻike pono i ka neʻe ʻana o nā ʻenemi e hoʻokokoke ana. Kōkua ʻia lākou e nā pueo ana, kahi e noho ai i nā lua i haʻalele ʻia e nā gophers.
Hiki i nā nahesa ke komo i nā lua a ʻai i nā keiki. No ka pale ʻana i kāna mau keiki, kū ka makuahine ma o ka lua a pīpī i kāna huelo me ka manaʻo nui e ʻoi aku kona nui ma mua o kāna maoli. Inā komo ka nahesa a me ka gopher i kahi hakakā, ʻaʻole hoʻi i haʻalele ka makuahine, ʻoiai me ka nahu o nā moʻo ʻawaʻawa.
Loaʻa i nā squirrels honua kahi lāʻau lapaʻau no nā bipi nāhelehele ʻaʻole make. ʻAʻole neʻe ʻo Gophers ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli mau mika mai kā lākou mau lua i mea e peʻe ai.
Hele maikaʻi lākou i waena o nā tunnels ma mua a ma hope hoʻi, mahalo i kā lākou huelo maʻalahi, e hoʻāʻo nei i nā paia o nā ala. Inā ʻai maikaʻi ke kāne i nā mālama momona, a laila hele ʻo ia i hibernation i ka hoʻomaka o Iune, a laila nā wahine makua, a i nā makahiki he 10 o Iulai a me ka hoʻomaka o ʻAukake, hibernate pū kekahi. Ma hope o ka hibernation, ala wale nā gophers ma hope o ka ʻike ʻia o ka meaʻai mua, ma kahi o ka hopena o Malaki.
Mea ʻai a Gopher
Holoholona holoholona Gophers he mau mea ulu lāʻau, ʻai lākou i nā mea kanu, nā lau, nā pua, nā hua, nā hua a me nā hua e like me nā kāloti, nā radishes, a me nā mea kanu momona ʻē aʻe. Mai hoʻowahāwahā i nā ʻiole a me nā ilo, nā ʻūlū, nā kolo, i hoʻopiha hou i kā lākou papaʻai me ka protein.
He ʻano koʻikoʻi kā ka Gophers o ke ola, ʻelua mau lā i ka lā he obligatory: ʻaina kakahiaka i ke kakahiaka a me ka ʻaina ahiahi i ke ahiahi. ʻAi ʻo Gophers, hoʻopihapiha koke i ko lākou mau papalina i kahi waiho, a ʻai lākou iā lākou i loko o ko lākou malu.
Lawe ʻia ko lākou pāpālina i mau ʻeke a lākou e hali ai i nā lako i kā lākou mau lua. No nā kānaka, hiki i kēia mau koʻokoʻo ke lilo i pōʻino maoli, no ka mea luku pinepine lākou i nā mea kanu i nā māla.
No kēia kumu, nā mea mahiʻai ma nā wahi kahi e noho ai nā koʻokoʻo, kī a kīkē paha i kēia mau holoholona. Aia kekahi lawelawe e pili ana i ka luku ʻia o kēia mau mea ʻino.
ʻO ka hana hou a me ke ola o ke ola
ʻOi aku ka nui o nā kāne i ka wahine. Ma hope koke o ka hibernation, mākaukau nā squirrels honua e hoʻomau i ka genus, hiki iā lākou ke hana hou i nā manawa he nui i ka makahiki. Makua kēia mau holoholona no ka moekolohe, ma ka ʻeono mahina ua mākaukau lākou e male.
Hana ʻia ka hana hoʻomomona e like me ka ʻīlio. Hāpai ka wahine i nā keiki no nā hebedoma ʻehā, ʻo kēlā me kēia kanaka i ka hānau mai ʻelua a ʻewalu paha.ʻO gopher nā holoholona Steppe hānau ʻia he kuli, makapō a ʻōlohelohe. I ka makahiki o hoʻokahi pule, ulu ka poʻe ʻōpio i ka lole huluhulu huluhulu, a huli ʻelua a wehe ko lākou mau maka.
Pili nā pēpē mua i ka waiū o ka makuahine a me kāna mālama. Puka mai nā ʻōpala mai ka lua ma hope o hoʻokahi mahina a ʻelua paha. I ka makahiki o ʻelua mau mahina, ʻaʻole i hoʻomohala nā ʻōpio i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau no nā nahu nahesa, no laila ua palupalu lākou. ʻEli kahi makuahine mālama i kahi lua hou no ka ʻōpio a huki iā lākou e noho kaʻawale.
Noho ʻo Gophers mai hoʻokahi a i ʻekolu mau makahiki, ʻo kekahi mau ʻano gophers ma ke ʻano ola a i ʻewalu mau makahiki. Hiki i nā pīpī ʻeke kūloko ke ola a ʻelima mau makahiki. ʻAʻole hāpai ka hapa nui o nā laha i nā hopohopo e pili ana i ko lākou luku ʻia.
