I kēia manawa, hiki i kahi manawa ma hope ke hiki ke nānā ʻia: manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā kūpuna kokoke loa o ka hippos he antracotheria pau, kahi e like ai. ʻO ka ulu kūʻokoʻa o ka lālā ʻApelika o ko lākou mau kūpuna i alakaʻi i ka puka ʻana o nā hippos o kēia au.
Eia hou, ua hoʻomau ke kaʻina o ka evolution a ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā ʻano hippos, akā aneane pau loa i ka make: he hippopotamus nunui kēia, ʻEulopa, Madagascar, ʻAsia a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻElua wale nō ʻano i ola a hiki i kēia lā: ʻo ka hippos maʻamau a me pygmy.

Ua loaʻa ka inoa ʻo ka hippopotamus maʻamau ma ka Lākina, a me kahi wehewehe ʻepekema i hana ʻia e Karl Linnaeus i ka makahiki 1758.

ʻOiaʻiʻo leʻaleʻa: ʻo ka hippo a me ka hippo he mau inoa ʻelua wale nō ia no ka holoholona like. No ka ʻōlelo Hebera ka mea mua a ua unuhi ʻia ma ke ʻano he "monster, holoholona", hoʻolaha ʻia i ka honua holoʻokoʻa mahalo i ka Baibala.

Ke nānā aku nei ka hippo i ka nui ʻaʻole wale no ka nui a me ke kaumaha, akā no ka mea he mau wāwae pōkole kona - kokoke e huki ka ʻōpū ma ka honua. Aia nā manamana wāwae he 4 ma nā wāwae, aia nā membrane, mahalo i ka mea maʻalahi no ka holoholona e neʻe ma waena o nā bogs.

He aha ka hippo e ʻai ai?
Kiʻi: Hipopotamus i ka wai
Ma mua, ua manaʻo ʻia ʻaʻole ʻai nā hippo i ka ʻiʻo, akā naʻe, hewa kēia - ʻai lākou ia. Akā hāʻawi ʻia ke kuleana nui i kā lākou papaʻai e kanu i nā meaʻai - he mauʻu kēia, nā lau a me nā lālā o nā laʻalāʻau, a me nā kumulāʻau haʻahaʻa. ʻAno ʻokoʻa kā lākou papaʻai - hoʻopili ʻia ma kahi o ʻekolu kakini mau mea kanu, ʻo ka hapanui o ke kahakai. ʻAʻohe lākou e ʻai i ka limu a me nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe e ulu pololei ana i ka wai.
ʻAe ke ʻano o ka ʻōnaehana digestive i ka hippopotamus e ʻeli pono i ka meaʻai, no laila ʻaʻole ia e koi i ka nui e like me kāu e manaʻo ai mai kahi holoholona o kēia nui. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻo nā rhino o ke kaupaona like e ʻai i pālua ka nui. Eia nō naʻe, pono i kahi hippopotamus makua ke ʻai i 40-70 kilogram mauʻu o ka mauʻu i kēlā me kēia lā, a no laila hāʻawi ʻia kahi ʻāpana nui o ka lā i ka meaʻai.
Ma muli o ka hippos nui a palupalu, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke alualu, akā inā kū kēia hanana, ʻaʻole lākou e hōʻole i ka meaʻai holoholona: hiki i nā mea kolo liʻiliʻi a i ʻole nā ʻelala ke lilo i mea pio na lākou. ʻAi lākou i ke kino make. Kū aʻe ka pono no kaʻiʻo ma muli o ka nele o nā paʻakai a me nā kumuwaiwai o ke kino, ʻaʻole hiki ke kiʻi ʻia mai nā meaʻai mea kanu.
He huhū loa ʻo Hippos: hiki i kahi holoholona pōloli ke hoʻouka i nā artiodactyls a i ʻole nā kānaka. Hoʻokumu pinepine lākou i ka hōʻino ʻana i nā māla kokoke i nā kino wai - inā hele mai ka pūʻulu ma waena o ka ʻāina mahiʻai, hiki ke ʻai iā lākou me ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka manawa pōkole
ʻOkoʻa ka papaʻai o nā hippos dwarf mai kā lākou nui nui: ʻai lākou i nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā aʻa mea kanu, a me nā hua. ʻAi pū kekahi mea kanu wai. ʻAʻole lākou makemake e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo, a ʻoi aku ka nui ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻouka i nā holoholona ʻē aʻe e ʻai iā lākou.

Hāʻule ka manawa o ka hana o ka hippos i ka pō: ʻaʻole makemake lākou i ka lā, no ka mea, maloʻo koke ko lākou ʻili ma luna o laila. No laila, i ka lā e hoʻomaha wale lākou i ka wai, e pili ana i kahi hapa o ko lākou poʻo i waho. Hele lākou i waho e ʻimi i nā meaʻai i ke ahiahi a hānai a kakahiaka.
Makemake lākou ʻaʻole e neʻe mai nā wai wai: i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā mauʻu momona hou, hiki i kahi hippopotamus ke ʻauana ma mua o 2-3 mau mile mai kona wahi noho. ʻOiai, i nā hihia kakaikahi, uhi lākou i nā mamao nui - 8-10 kilomita.
Hoʻohanohano ʻia lākou e ka hakakā, a paʻakikī e manaʻo ʻia mai nā holoholona momona a lohi hoʻi - ʻoi aku lākou i nā predators me ia. Huhū loa ʻo Hippos a mākaukau mau i ka hoʻouka kaua, pili kēia i nā wahine a me nā kāne, ʻo ka mea hope loa hoʻi.
He lolo mua loa ko lākou, ʻo ia ke kumu e helu pono ʻole ai lākou i ko lākou ikaika a koho i nā hoa paio, a no laila hiki iā lākou ke hoʻouka i nā holoholona i ʻoi aku ka nui a me ka ikaika, e laʻa, nā ʻelepani a i ʻole nā rhino. Pale nā kāne i ka ʻāina, a me nā wahine wahine. Hoʻokumu kahi hippopotamus huhū i kahi wikiwiki - a hiki i 40 km / h, ʻoiai e hehi i nā mea āpau i ke ala, me ka wehe ʻole i ke ala.
ʻAʻole mamao loa ka Pygmy hippos mai ka hana ʻino, ʻaʻole weliweli lākou no ka poʻe a me nā holoholona nui. He holoholona maluhia kēia, ʻoi aku ka kūpono no kā lākou ʻano - hānai mālie lākou, nibbling i ka mauʻu, a pili ʻole i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe.
ʻO kahi mea hoihoi: hiki i nā hippo ke hiamoe ʻaʻole ma ka pāpaʻu wale nō, akā kai pū ʻia hoʻi i lalo o ka wai - a laila kū lākou i luna a hanu i kēlā me kēia mau minuke. A ʻo ka mea nui, ʻaʻole ala lākou!

Noho nā hippo maʻamau i nā pūʻā - ma ka awelika, aia he 30-80 mau kānaka i loko o lākou. Ma ke poʻo ke kāne, kahi e ʻike ʻia ai ka nui a me ka ikaika. Kūʻē ʻia ke alakaʻi i kekahi manawa e nā "mea hoʻokūkū", kahi e hiki ai i kāna mau keiki makua ke lilo.
