Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ka moʻolelo i kekahi manawa, ua hoʻouna ka ʻuhane ʻino i kahi hōʻino weliweli i ka poʻe noho o ka honua, a he nui ka poʻe i make ma muli o nā maʻi ʻeha. Hoʻomaka ka poʻe e pule i nā akua no ke kōkua, aloha ka lani i ka ʻeha a hoʻouna i kā lākou ʻelele i ka honua - ka mea ikaika liona keʻokeʻo, nāna, me kona akamai, i aʻo i ka poʻe pehea e hakakā ai i ka maʻi a hoʻohiki e pale iā lākou i nā manawa paʻakikī. Wahi a ka manaʻoʻiʻo, ʻoiai e mau ana nā liona keʻokeʻo ma ka honua, ʻaʻohe wahi no ka ʻeha a me ke kaumaha i loko o ka puʻuwai o ka poʻe.
Liona keʻokeʻo - I kēia manawa he mea ʻoiaʻiʻo ia, akā i kēia mau lā aku nei ua noʻonoʻo ʻia lākou he moʻolelo kaʻao wale nō, ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou i kū i ke kūlohelohe. I ka makahiki 1975, ʻelua mau kānaka ʻepekema-noiʻi i aʻo i ka honua holoholona o ʻApelika a hala i hoʻokahi makahiki a ʻoi e ʻimi nei i nā meheu o ke ola ʻana o nā liona keʻokeʻo, ua ʻike hewa ʻole ʻia ʻekolu mau keiki keʻokeʻo hau i hānau ʻia mai kahi liona wahine ʻulaʻula me nā maka polū e like me ka lani. Ua waiho ʻia nā liona liona i loko o kahi mālama i mea e hana hou ai i ka genus o ke aliʻi mōʻī o nā holoholona - ka liona keʻokeʻo.
I kēia manawa, aia ma kahi o ʻekolu haneli mau kānaka ma ka honua, kēia ʻano, i nalowale i ke kanaka. I kēia manawa ʻaʻole ka liona keʻokeʻo kahi holoholona e ola ana ma nā ākea o nā pā o ʻApelika, pale ʻia nā liona kaʻao a hana ʻia i nā kūlana hōʻoluʻolu no ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā mālama a puni ka honua.
Nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā wahi noho
Pili nā liona i ka papa o nā mea mammal, ke kauoha o nā mea ʻaihue, ka ʻohana pōpoki. He hulu pokole ko lākou, ke ʻano keʻokeʻo hau keʻokeʻo kahi e pouli mālie ai mai ka hānau ʻana o ka holoholona a lilo ka makua i niho ʻelepani. Ma ka piko o ka huelo, he liona liʻiliʻi kā ka liona keʻokeʻo, ʻeleʻele i nā hoahānau ʻulaʻula.
Hiki i ke kino o ke kāne ke hiki ma kahi o 330 cm, ka liona wahine, ma ke ʻano he kaulike, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi - 270 cm. Kaona liona keʻokeʻo ʻokoʻa mai 190 a 310 kg. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā liona mai nā wahine e kahi mane nui o ka lauoho mānoanoa a lōʻihi, e hoʻomaka ana e ulu ma ke poʻo, ma nā ʻaoʻao o ka waha a hele mālie i ka ʻāpana poʻohiwi. Hāʻawi ka nani o ka mane i ke aliʻi o nā holoholona i kahi helehelena a ikaika hoʻi; hiki iā ia ke ʻumeʻume i nā wahine a hoʻoweliweli i nā hoa kāne.
Hōʻoia ʻepekema ʻo kēia mau holoholona ʻaʻole he albinos. Aia nā liona keʻokeʻo me nā maka lani-uliuli a me nā maka gula. ʻO ka nele o ka pigmentation i ke kala o ka ʻili a me kaʻaʻahu e hōʻike ana i ka nele o kahi gen kūikawā.
Manaʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema ma kahi o 20 tausani mau makahiki i halaliona keʻokeʻo o ʻApelika noho i waena o nā expanses o ka hau a me ka hau. A ʻo ia ke kumu i loaʻa ai iā lākou ke kala keʻokeʻo hau, kahi i lilo i ʻano huna maikaʻi loa i ka ʻimi holoholona ʻana. Ma ke ʻano he hopena o ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kūlana o ke anilā ma ka honua, ua lilo nā liona keʻokeʻo i poʻe noho i ka steppes a uhi ʻia i nā ʻāina wela.
Ma muli o kona kala ʻōlinolino, ua lilo ka liona i holoholona hikiwaliwali loa, ka mea, i ka wā o ka ʻimi holoholona ʻana, ʻaʻole hiki ke hūnā pono e loaʻa ai ka nui o ka meaʻai.
A no nā mea ʻai holoholona, ʻo ka ʻili māmā o ka holoholona ka makana waiwai nui loa. ʻO nā liona me ke ʻano "ʻano ʻē" no ke kūlohelohe, paʻakikī loa e hūnā i ka mauʻu a ʻo ka hopena hiki iā lākou ke lilo i holoholona no nā holoholona ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka ʻoi loa helu o nā liona keʻokeʻo Aia ia ma ke komohana o ʻApelika Hema ma ka honua nui ʻo Sambona Nature Reserve. No lākou, a me nā ʻano holoholona ʻē aʻe o nā holoholona laha ʻole, ua hana ʻia ka mea kokoke loa i nā wahi maoli o ka nāhelehele.
ʻAʻole hoʻopilikia ke kanaka i nā hana o ke koho kūlohelohe, ka hopu holoholona a me ka hana hou ʻana o nā kamaʻāina o ka wahi pale. ʻO nā zoo nui loa ma nā ʻāina o ka honua, e like me Kelemania, Iapana, Kanada, Rusia, Malaysia, a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e mālama i kēia holoholona kaʻao i ko lākou mau ākea.
ʻO ke ʻano a me ka nohona
ʻO kēia mau mea kiʻekiʻe, hōʻike ʻia ikiʻi liona keʻokeʻo, noho nui i nā hui nui - haʻaheo. ʻO ka hapanui o nā liona wahine hānai i nā keiki a me nā alualu, a mālama nā kāne i ka haʻaheo a me ka ʻāina. Ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka wā ʻōpio, kipaku ʻia nā kāne mai nā ʻohana a ma hope o kekahi manawa ua hana ka mea ikaika o lākou i ka haʻaheo iā lākou iho.
Hiki i kekahi o ia ʻohana ke komo mai hoʻokahi a ʻekolu mau kāne, mau wahine a me nā keiki ʻōpio o nā kāne ʻelua. Hōʻiliʻili nā holoholona i nā mea pio, e hāʻawi pono i nā kuleana. He kūlana koʻikoʻi kā Lionesses i ka hopu holoholona, no ka mea ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki a me ka nui o ka lawe lima.
Hiki i ke kāne ke hoʻoweliweli wale aku i ka mea pio me ka halulu hoʻoweliweli, ke kali nei i ka hoʻohālua. Hiki i nā liona keʻokeʻo ke hiamoe a 20 mau hola i ka lā, e waiho ana i ka malu o nā ululāʻau a hoʻolaha i nā lāʻau.
ʻO ka mokuna haʻaheo kahi eliona keʻokeʻo alualu... Inā hele hewa kekahi o nā holoholona o nā ʻohana liona ʻē aʻe ma kēia ʻāina, a laila e ala mai ana ke kaua ma waena o nā haʻaheo.
Liona keʻokeʻo e ʻai nei
ʻO ka papaʻai o kēlā me kēia lā o kahi kāne makua he ʻiʻo, ʻo ka pinepine o kahi holoholona ungulate (buffalo a i ʻole giraffe) mai 18 a 30 kg. He holoholona hoʻomanawanui loa nā liona i hiki ke ʻai i hoʻokahi manawa i kēlā me kēia ʻelua a ʻekolu paha lā, a hiki ke hana me ka ʻole o ka meaʻai no kekahi mau pule.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i kahi liona keʻokeʻo kahi ʻano maʻamau. ʻAi mua ke alakaʻi kāne o ka haʻaheo, a laila nā mea i koe, ʻai ka ʻōpio i ka hope. ʻO ka mea mua e ʻai i ka puʻuwai o ka mea pio, a laila ke akepaʻa a me nā puʻupaʻa, a laila wale ka ʻiʻo a me ka ʻili. Hoʻomaka lākou e ʻai wale nō ma hope o ka piha ʻana o ke kāne nui.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana a me ke ola o ka liona keʻokeʻo
Hiki i nā liona keʻokeʻo ke hānai i loko o ka makahiki. Kū ka hānau ʻana o ka ʻōpū i loko o 3.5 mau mahina wale nō. Ma mua o ka hānau ʻia ʻana o nā keiki, haʻalele ka liona wahine i ka haʻaheo, i ka honua hiki iā ia ke hoʻohua mai hoʻokahi a i ʻehā mau liona liona. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, hoʻi ka wahine me nā keiki i ka haʻaheo.
ʻO ka hānau ʻana o nā keiki ma kahi o ka manawa like i nā wahine āpau, hāʻawi kēia i ka pale like o nā liona liona a hoʻoliʻiliʻi nui i ka make o nā holoholona ʻōpio. Ma hope o ka ulu ʻana o nā keiki, noho mau nā wahine ʻōpio i ka haʻaheo, a ʻo nā kāne, ua piha nā makahiki he ʻelua a ʻehā paha, haʻalele i ka haʻaheo.
I ka nahelehele, hiki i nā liona ke ola mai 13 a 16 mau makahiki, akā ʻaʻole ola nā kāne a hiki i nā makahiki 11, mai ka kipaku ʻia ʻana mai ka haʻaheo, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou āpau ke ola hoʻokahi a hana paha i ko lākou ʻohana ponoʻī.
I ke pio ʻana, hiki i nā liona keʻokeʻo ke ola mai 19 a 30 mau makahiki paha. I Lūkia, noho nā liona keʻokeʻo ma ka Krasnoyarsk Park o nā pua a me nā holoholona "Roev Ruchey" a ma ka "Safari Park" o Krasnodar. Liona keʻokeʻo i helu ʻia ma ka International Buke ʻulaʻula ma ke ʻano he ʻano endangered a kakaikahi paha o ka lā, kokoke ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ke kūlohelohe. Aia wale nō ia i ke kanaka inā he mea maoli ka liona keʻokeʻo a e lilo hou paha i moʻolelo.
