Ma hope o kēia milestone, ua hoʻololi ʻia ke kūlana e kahi kāne kāne kiʻekiʻe. ʻOi aku ke kaumaha o nā kāne.
Ka nohona ola, hana
Kēia holoholona agileʻulaʻula makaʻulaʻula kolohe, ʻike ʻia, he pō nui loa ia, a ʻoiai ʻo nā lā i loko o kahi hollow log a i ʻole ka ulu lāʻau.

I ka wā i lawe mua ʻia ai kēia mau pōpoki i ka Zoo ʻo Frankfurt, ua manaʻo ʻia i ka pō no ka mea ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea i ʻike ʻia i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka pō, i ke kakahiaka nui i ke alaula a i ʻole ke ahiahi.

Hoihoi ia! ʻO ke kumumanaʻo o ke kamaʻilio a me ka kamaʻilio ʻana ma waena o nā lālā o kahi laha e kū i ka pilau. Pāpā nā pōpoki wahine a me nā kāne i ka ʻāina ma ka pīpī ʻana i ka mimi no ka wili ʻana o kahi ʻala.
Pehea ka lōʻihi o ke ola ʻana o nā pōpoki popo?
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka manaolana lōʻihi loa o ka ʻike ʻia o ka lepo ma ka Zoo ʻo Frankfurt, mahalo i kahi pōpoki i hiki i nā makahiki 18.

ʻAʻole haʻi ʻia ka dimorphism moekolohe. Hiki i 100 mau lā mai ka hānau ʻana - ʻoi aku ka nui o ka wahine ma mua o ke kāne, e loli iki me ka makahiki o ka holoholona. I nā mākua, ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o ke kāne ma mua o ka wahine.
Pepeiao popo lepo
I kēia mau lā, ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻāpana 2 o ka pōpoki popo. Mahele ʻia ka ʻāina a noho lākou, ma ka mokupuni ʻo Sri Lanka a me India.
Kahi noho, nā wahi noho
Noho ka pōpoki pīpī ʻike ʻia i loko o nā ululāʻau maloʻo maloʻo, nāhelehele, nāhelehele a me nā wahi pōhaku. Ua loaʻa pū kekahi i nā wahi i hoʻololi ʻia e like me nā māla tī, nā māla kō, nā māla, a me nā māla niu, e like me nā wahi kokoke i nā wahi kanaka.
ʻIke ʻia kēia mau holoholona ma India a me Sri Lanka wale nō. ʻO ka wahi ʻākau loa kahi i ʻike ʻia ai nā lāhui i ka mahele ulu lāʻau Pilibhit, aia ma ka moku Terai India o Uttar Pradesh. ʻIke ʻia ka holoholona i nā wahi he nui o Maharastra, e like me Maharastra Komohana, kahi i ʻike ʻia ai ka heluna o kēia mau pōpoki me nā mahiʻai a me nā hiʻohiʻona kanaka. ʻIke ʻia ka ʻano ma ke awāwa ʻo Varushanad, ma ke komohana o Ghats, ma kahi ʻāpana o kahi kikowaena biodiversity. Noho nā pōpoki ʻike maka Rusty ma Gujarat, kahi i loaʻa ai lākou i nā ululāʻau maloʻo, maloʻo, pāhuna a deciduous i waenakonu o ka mokuʻāina, a me ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Navagam. Noho kēia mau pōpoki i ka Nugu Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka State, ka Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Sanctuary ma Andhra Pradesh a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o Andhra Pradesh e like me ka moku Nellor.
ʻOiai ke aloha o kēia mau pōpoki no nā wahi nahele ulu ʻole, ua ʻike ʻia kahi hui hānau i nā makahiki i hala aku nei e noho nei i kahi wahi mahiʻai kanaka i Western Maharashtra, India. ʻO kēia ʻano, a me nā ʻano pōpoki liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe i ka ʻaoʻao hikina, ua hōʻike ʻia e hiki ke ola i nā wahi mahiʻai ma muli o ka nui o nā rodent populasyon. Ma muli o kēia, ma India Hema, ʻike ʻia ka laha i loko o nā kaupaku o nā hale i haʻalele ʻia i nā wahi i kahi mamao loa mai nā ululāʻau. Noho kekahi mau pōpoki ʻike ʻulaʻula i ka ʻāina semi-arid a tropical tropical.
Meaʻai a ka pōpoki popo
ʻAi ka pōpoki popo i nā mea hānai liʻiliʻi a me nā manu. Ua ʻike ʻia kekahi mau hihia o kāna hoʻouka kaua ʻana i ka manu. Hōʻike ka poʻe kamaʻāina ua ʻike ʻia kēia pōpoki elusive ma hope o ka ua nui e ʻai i nā koʻokoʻo a me nā rana i hele mai i luna.
ʻO nā ʻāpana Sri Lankan o ka pōpoki ʻike maka (Prionailurus rubiginosus phillipsi) ʻai i nā manu a me nā mea hānai manu, a loaʻa i kekahi manawa i nā moa.
I ka pio ʻana, ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa ka papa kuhikuhi. ʻAi ʻia kahi mākua o kēia laha ma ka Zoo ʻo Frankfurt i kahi meaʻai i kēlā me kēia lā e pili ana i nā ʻāpana pipi nui a liʻiliʻi, he puʻuwai pipi, ʻelua mau lā moa, hoʻokahi ʻiole a me 2.5 mau kāloti, nā ʻāpala, nā hua moa i hoʻomoʻa ʻia a i ʻole ka laiki i kuke ʻia. Ma ka zoo, hāʻawi ʻia nā holoholona i kēlā me kēia lā nā mea hoʻopili mineral, nā multivitamins o ka pule, a me nā huaora K a me B i hoʻohui ʻia i ka papaʻai i ʻelua mau pule. Hānai ʻia nā pōpoki palaoa i kekahi manawa me ka maiʻa, germ germ, a iʻa paha.
Hoihoi ia! Aia kekahi hihia i ʻike ʻia i ka wā i make ai kahi kāne kāne makua ma kahi zoo i kahi lāpaki ke kaupaona ʻia 1,77 kg. ʻO ka pōpoki i kēlā manawa kaupaona wale nō he 1.6 kg, a i ka pō ma hope o ka pepehi kanaka, ʻai ʻo ia i 320 gram o ka ʻiʻo.
Hānai ʻia nā keiki hihiu i hopu ʻia ma ka zoo i hānai ʻia i ka puree waiwai-protein a me nā iole. Hoʻopili pū ʻia nāʻiole a me nā pipi i kuʻi ʻia me ka puʻuwai i ka papaʻai.
Hoʻohua a me nā keiki
ʻOiai i kēia manawa ʻaʻohe ʻikepili hilinaʻi e pili ana i nā ʻano hānau o nā pōpoki popo, manaʻo ʻia he ʻohana pili loa lākou i nā pōpoki leopadi, a no laila he mau kumu like o ka hana hou ʻana i nā keiki.
Hiki i kekahi kāne ke neʻe a puni ka ʻāina o nā wahine i ka wā hānau; hiki i nā wahine ke hana like i ke kipa ʻana i nā kāne ʻokoʻa. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole komo ka ʻāina o nā wahine ʻelua a ʻelua kāne paha. Hiki i ke kāne ke male manuahi me nā wahine āpau ma kāna panalāʻau. Eia nō naʻe, i loko o nā zoo, ʻae ʻia nā pōpoki ʻike ʻulaʻula e noho me nā wahine ʻaʻole wale ma hope o ka male ʻana, akā ma hope o ka hānau ʻia ʻana o nā kittens.
Hoihoi ia! Ma ka Zoo Komohana Berlin, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kahi hihia i ka wā i pale ai kahi kāne i kāna pēpē mai nā kahu zoo iā lākou iho e lawe ana i ka meaʻai i ka pā. Hōʻike kēia hana i monogamous kā lākou moʻo ʻana.
Hānau nā pōpoki ʻike ʻino ma Rusty i India i ka puna. ʻO 67 mau lā ke kūnou ʻia, a ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o ka wahine he hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha mau keiki i loko o kahi lua mehameha, e like me ke ana pāpaʻu. Hānau makapō nā pēpē, a ʻaʻohe o ko lākou huluhulu i nā kiko kikoʻī no nā mākua.
Pālei nā pōpoki ʻike ʻulaʻula i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. Hōʻike ka ʻikepili he 50% o nā pēpē i hānau ʻia ma waena o Iulai a ʻOkakopa, ʻaʻole lawa ia e noʻonoʻo ʻia ai nā mea kau o ka wā. E like me nā pōpoki liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe, pili ka moena i ka nahu ʻana o ka ʻipipipī, noho noho a hala nā 1 a 11 mau lā.
Ma Sri Lanka, ua ʻike ʻia nā wahine e hānau i nā lāʻau hollow a i ʻole ma lalo o nā pōhaku. Ua koho pinepine nā wahine ma ka Zoo ʻo Frankfurt i nā pūnaewele hānau ma ka honua. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia nā pahu hānau ma nā wahi haʻahaʻa a kiʻekiʻe hoʻi, akā ua hoʻohana ʻia nā pahu lalo.
I loko o hoʻokahi hola ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, haʻalele ka makuahine i kāna mau keiki no ka ʻai ʻana a me ka hoʻohaumia ʻana. Hoʻomaka nā pēpē e puka i waho o ka hale hoʻomaha iā lākou iho i ka makahiki 28 a 32 mau makahiki. Loaʻa iā lākou nā hiki kūpono, paliki nā keiki, ʻeleu a me dexterous. I ka makahiki 35 a 42 mau lā, hiki iā lākou ke iho mai nā lālā pali. I kēia wā, mālama mau ka makuahine iā lākou, hemo i nā feces mai ka lua. I ka makahiki 47 a 50 mau lā, hiki i nā kittens ke lele ma kahi o 50 cm mai kahi kiʻekiʻe ma kahi o 2 m. Luhi koke nā pēpē, hiamoe lākou ma kahi a i ʻole ko lākou makuahine. I ka hōʻea ʻana i ke kūʻokoʻa, e hiamoe kaʻawale lākou ma nā kaʻe kiʻekiʻe.
Noho nā pāʻani i kahi wahi nui i ke ola o ka hanauna ʻōpio a koʻikoʻi no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kā lākou locomotion. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā pilina ma waena o nā makuahine a me nā pēpē e pāʻani i ka pāʻani. ʻOiai i 60 mau lā, hiki i nā pēpē ke inu i ka waiū umauma, akā mai ka lā 40th, ʻo ka ʻiʻo kahi o kā lākou papaʻai.

ʻO ka hoʻoneoneo ʻana a me ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka mahiʻai i mea hoʻoweliweli koʻikoʻi i ka hapanui o nā holoholona laka ma India a me Sri Lanka, a he hopena maikaʻi ʻole paha kēia i ka pōpoki ʻike ʻulaʻula pū kekahi. ʻO nā hihia o ka luku ʻia ʻana o kēia mau holoholona e ke kanaka ponoʻī i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma muli o ko lākou aloha i ka moa. I kekahi mau ʻāpana o Sri Lanka, ua luku ʻia ka pōpoki nānā no ka ʻiʻo e ʻai pono ʻia. Aia kekahi mau hōʻike o ka hybridization me nā pōpoki kūloko e hiki ke hoʻoweliweli i ka noho ʻana o kahi ʻano ʻino a maʻemaʻe, akā ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ʻia kēia mau hōʻike.
He mea hoihoi paha ia:

Ua helu ʻia ka lehulehu o nā pōpoki India ma ka Pakihi I o ka Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). ʻO kēia ke ʻae ʻia ʻana o ke kālepa ʻana i nā kānaka o ka heluna kanaka o Sri Lanka i nā hihia kūikawā a pono e mālama pono ʻia e hōʻoia i ka launa ʻana me ke ola o nā lāhui. Pale aku i ka pōpoki ʻike kīnā ʻia kū kānāwai i loko o ka hapanui o kāna pae, a pāpā ʻia ka ʻimi holoholona.
Wahi a ka IUCN Red List, ʻo ka heluna nui o nā pōpoki popo i India a me Sri Lanka ma lalo o 10,000 mau mākua. ʻO ke au i lalo o kā lākou helu ma muli o ka nalo ʻana o nā wahi noho, i hōʻike ʻia e kahi hōʻino i ka mokuʻāina o ka nahele kūlohelohe a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka wahi o ka ʻāina mahiʻai.
