He kino squat ko ka Nile crocodile o kahi ʻano i hoʻolōʻihi ʻia, a lilo i huelo mānoanoa a ikaika hoʻi, e piʻo ana i ka hopena...

Hoihoi ia! I nā crocodile pēpē i hatch mai nā hua manu, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka ʻili e mānoanoa ana ma ke alo o ka waha, me he niho lā ke ʻano. ʻO kēia sila, i kapa ʻia ʻo ka "hua moa", kōkua i nā mea kolo hānau e haki i loko o kā lākou pūpū a puka i waho o nā hua i wikiwiki.

ʻO kēia ka nui o nā crocodile āpau ma ʻApelika: hiki i ke kino o ka lōʻihi me kahi huelo i nā kāne o kēia ʻano ke hiki i ʻelima a me ka hapa mika. Akā, i ka hapanui o nā hihia, ʻaʻole hiki i ka Crocodile Nile ke ulu ʻoi aku ma mua o ʻekolu mau mika ka lōʻihi. Manaʻo ʻia ulu kēia mau mea kolo mai ʻekolu a i ʻehā mau mika ka lōʻihi, ke kaukaʻi ʻia i ka wahine. Hiki ke kaupaona ʻia ka crocodile Nile mai ka 116 a i ka 300 kg, kaukaʻi ʻia i kāna kāne a me kona mau makahiki.
Hoihoi ia! Wahi a kekahi poʻe ʻimi holoholona, a me nā kamaʻāina o nā wahi kahi e noho ai nā buaya Nile, ua ʻike lākou i nā mea kolo o kēia ʻano, nona ka nui i hiki aku i ka ʻehiku a i ʻole ʻeiwa mau mika.

ʻO ke ʻano a me ka nohona
Ma lalo o nā kūlana maʻamau, ʻaʻole holoholona nā crocodiles.... ʻO ka hapanui o lākou mai ke kakahiaka a i ke ahiahi e waiho i ka lā ma nā kapa o nā waihona wai, hāmama ākea ko lākou mau ā, a i ʻole i loko o ka wai, kahi e haʻalele ai ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka wela o ke awakea. I nā lā ʻōpua naʻe, hiki i kēia mau mea kolo ke waiho ma kahakai a ahiahi. Noho nā kolo i nā pō i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o kahi kahawai a loko wai.
ʻAʻole makemake kēia mea kolo e noho kaʻawale a, ʻo ka pinepine, noho nā crocodile Nile i nā hui nui, a ʻo kēlā me kēia o lākou he ʻumi a he mau haneli mau holoholona o kēia laha. I kekahi manawa alualu lākou i kahi ʻeke, ʻoiai, maʻamau, ke ʻimi nei ka crocodile a makemake ʻo ia e hana hoʻokahi. Hiki i nā crocodile Nile ke luʻu maʻalahi a ʻauʻau ma lalo o ka wai, i kōkua ʻia e nā hiʻohiʻona physiological: kahi lumi ʻehā, e like me nā manu, ka puʻuwai a me ka membrane nictitating, i kapa ʻia he membrane e pale aku i nā maka o ka holoholona i kona wā e komo ai i loko o ka wai.
Hoihoi ia! ʻO nā puka ihu a me nā pepeiao o nā Crocodiles o Nile he hoʻokahi hiʻohiʻona hoihoi ia: pani lākou ʻoiai ke luʻu nei ke kolo. ʻAʻau nā crocodile Nile ma muli o kā lākou huelo ikaika, hoe, ʻoiai nā paws, a ʻo ia wale nō nā mea hope, i lako me nā membrane, ʻaʻole hoʻohana iki ʻo ia i ka ʻauʻau ʻana.
Ke hele nei i waho o ka ʻāina, kolo paha kēia mau holoholona ma ko lākou ʻōpū, a hele wāwae paha, e hāpai ana i ko lākou mau kino. Inā makemake ʻia a pono paha, ʻike nā crocodile Nile i ka holo, akā hana pinepine lākou ia mea, akā e alualu wale nei i ka mea hiki ke loaʻa i ka ʻāina a i ka wā e holo aku ai lākou mai kahi moʻo ʻē aʻe a i ʻole kahi hoa paio i eo iā lākou. ʻO nā crocodile Nile, ʻoiai me ka paʻakikī, hoʻomanawanui i ke alo o ko lākou mau hoahānau ma kahi kokoke, akā i nā holoholona o nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, koe wale no nā hippos, me lākou kahi kūlike ʻole i haʻi ʻole ʻia, kūʻē nui lākou a pale ikaika i ko lākou ʻāina mai ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o nā malihini, me ka nānā ʻole inā he lāhui hea lākou.

Akā lawe ʻokoʻa ʻia, hiki i nā mea kolo nui loa ke ala aʻe i kēia hibernation a kolo i waho e lele i ka lā, a i kekahi manawa e ʻimi holoholona hoʻi, a laila hoʻi lākou i kā lākou lua a komo i loko o ka hibernation a hiki i kā lākou puka aʻe.
I ka wā ma mua, aia ka manaʻo laha nui he hui kuikahi ʻole ʻia ko ka crocodile me kekahi ʻano manu, e kōkua ana i kēia mea kolo e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kona waha me kona nuku, e lawe ana i nā ʻiʻo i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma waena o kona mau niho. Akā ma muli o ka hiki ʻole ke noʻonoʻo pono ʻia kēlā mau hōʻike, ʻo kēia mau moʻolelo, e like me nā moʻolelo e pili ana i nā crocodiles nunui 7-9 mau mika, ua manaʻo ʻia he mea ʻole ia ma nā kaao. Hoʻohui ʻia, paʻakikī e ʻōlelo i ka nui o nā holoholona ʻokoʻa e hiki ai ke launa a inā he simbiosis maoli kā lākou pilina.
Hoihoi ia! Nroc crocodiles a me nā hippos e noho nei i nā kino wai like me kā lākou iho he pilina hoihoi. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi neutrality ʻole i haʻi ʻia ma waena o kēia mau holoholona, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēlā me kēia o lākou e haʻalele i ka manawa kūpono e hoʻohana ai i kahi kaiāulu kūleʻa no kā lākou pono ponoʻī.
Ke waiho nei nā hippos wahine, e waiho ana no kekahi manawa mai kā lākou mau keiki, waiho iā lākou ma kahi o nā crocodiles, ʻoiai ʻo ka reptile toothy, kahi mea ʻaʻa ʻole o nā mea konohiki e hoʻokokoke aku, ʻo ia ka pale pale ʻoi loa o nā mea āpau no kā lākou pēpē. I ka huli ʻana, ʻo nā keiki o ka crocodile Nile, ʻoiai lākou he ʻuʻuku a palupalu loa, hiki pū kekahi, i ka wā o ka nele o ko lākou makuahine, e ʻimi i ka pale mai nā hippos, e piʻi ana ma ko lākou kua.

Pehea ka lōʻihi o ke ola ʻana o kahi crocodile Nile
E like me ka nui o nā mea kolo ʻē aʻe, ola nā crocodiles o Nile i ka manawa lōʻihi: ʻo ko lākou ola ʻana he 45 mau makahiki, ʻoiai ke ola nei kekahi o kēia mau mea kolo i 80 mau makahiki a ʻoi paha.

ʻO nā kāne o kēia ʻano e pili ana i ke kolu o ka nui ma mua o nā wahine, ʻoiai ʻo ka hope hiki ke ʻike i ka nui ma muli o ka ʻoi aku ka nui o ko lākou kino i ka girth. No ke kala, ka helu o nā pale a i ʻole ke ʻano o ke poʻo, a laila i nā crocodiles Nile o nā kāne like ʻole like lākou.

Kahi noho, nā wahi noho
Nroc crocodile - kahi kamaʻāina o ʻAmelika ʻApelika... Hiki iā ʻoe ke launa me ia ma nā wahi ʻĀpana o Sahara ʻApelika. Noho ʻo ia i Madagascar a ma kekahi mau mokupuni ʻē aʻe i noho ma kahakai o ʻApelika tropical. E like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, ola ka crocodile Nile ma ka Nile, eia kekahi, loaʻa ia ma nā wahi āpau, e hoʻomaka ana mai ka lua o nā kahawai wai a ma luna.
Hoʻolahalaha nui ʻia kēia mea kolo ma nā ʻāina o ʻApelika Hema a me East East, ʻo ia hoʻi, ma Kenya, ʻAitiopa, Zambia a me Somalia, kahi e makemake nui ʻia ai ka hoʻomana crocodile. I ka wā ma mua, ua noho ka mea kolo i ka ʻākau ʻē aʻe - ma ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAigupita a me Palesetina, akā ʻaʻole ia i kū hou ma laila, no ka mea ua hoʻopau loa ʻia i kēlā mau ʻāpana.
Koho ka crocodile Nile i nā muliwai, nā loko, nā pohō, nā mangroves ma ke ʻano he wahi noho, a hiki i kēia mea kolo ke noho i loko o ka wai hou a me ka wai paʻa. Hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e noho ma ka panalāʻau o nā ululāʻau, akā hele hewa i kekahi manawa i loko o nā waihona ulu nahele.
Meaʻai o ka crocodile Nile
Ke loli nei ka papaʻai o ka crocodile Nile i nā hoʻololi ikaika i ke ola o kēia mea kolo. ʻO nā pahu i ulu ʻole i 1 mika ka hānai nui ʻana i nā mea kolo a me nā invertebrates liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. ʻO kahi o ka hapa o nā beetles like ʻole, kahi mea liʻiliʻi e makemake ai e ʻai. I ka pō, hiki i nā keiki ke ʻimi i nā kekeke a me nā dragonflies, i hopu ʻia i loko o ka mauʻu mānoanoa ma kapa o nā waihona wai.
Ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana o ka mea kolo e ulu nei i ka nui o hoʻokahi a me ka hapa mika, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e alualu i nā pāpaʻi a me nā kuhū, akā ke ulu aʻe ia i 2 mika ka lōʻihi, hoʻemi loa ʻia ka helu o nā invertebrates i kāna papa kuhikuhi. A ma Uganda wale nō, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā crocodile makua, akā e ʻai mau i nā nīno nui a me nā ʻano pāpaʻi wai hou.
ʻIke ʻia ka iʻa i loko o ka papaʻai o kahi crocodile Nile ʻōpio ma hope o kona ulu ʻana a ma ka liʻiliʻi he 1.2 mau mika, akā i ka manawa like e hoʻomau mau nei i ka hānai ʻana i nā invertebrates: nā mea kolo nui, nā pāpaʻi a me nā mollusks e like me nā nīnū.
Mea nui! ʻO ia ka iʻa ka meaʻai nui o nā ʻōpio o kēia laha, a ma kekahi mau wahi, no ka hapa nui, nā mākua i hiki ʻole i ʻekolu mau mika i ka lōʻihi e hānai iā ia.
I ka manawa like, hoʻāʻo ka mea kolo e alualu i ka iʻa i kūlike i ka nui. ʻAʻole e alualu kahi crocodile nui i nā iʻa liʻiliʻi i loko o ka muliwai, a, ʻo ka mea mua, pili kēia i ka ʻoi aku o ke kelepona ʻoi aku ma mua o, no ka laʻana, ʻo nā iʻa nui, kahi crocodile Nile nui a makemake e ʻai.
Akā hewa ia e noʻonoʻo e ʻai nā buaya Nile he ʻumi mau kilokika o nā iʻa i ka manawa hoʻokahi: ʻo nā mea kolo me ka neʻe iki e koi ana i ka liʻiliʻi o ka meaʻai ma mua o nā holoholona mehana koko, a no laila, he mea kolo kaupaona ma lalo o 120 kg, ma ka awelika, ʻai wale i kahi mea i ka lā. gram o 300 iʻa. Ma muli o ka nui o nā crocodile ma nā kahawai ʻo ʻApelika, aia kahi rula kūlohelohe o ka nui o nā iʻa e noho ana i nā loko iʻa, nā kahawai a me nā kino wai ʻē aʻe e like me kēia mau mea kolo, akā ʻaʻole nā kumu nui o ka pōʻino i ko lākou heluna kanaka.
Hiki i nā Crocodiles ke ʻimi i nā amphibians a me nā ʻano nā mea kolo... I ka manawa like, ʻaʻole ʻai nā rana makua, ʻoiai e ʻai nā holoholona ʻōpio ulu me lākou me ka leʻaleʻa. A mai nā mea kolo, ʻai nā crocodile o Nile i nā nahesa ʻawahia, e like me ka mamba ʻeleʻele. ʻAi ʻia nā honu a me kekahi mau moʻo nui nui, e like me ka Nile Monitor, e nā holoholona makua. Hoʻāʻo pū nā ʻōpoki ʻōpio e ʻimi no nā kuhukukū, akā ma muli o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a hiki i kekahi mau makahiki ʻaʻole lawa ka ikaika e nahu ma waena o ka honu manu kuhukukū, ʻaʻohe hiki ke kapa ʻia ua ʻimi nei he kūleʻa.
Akā kākaʻikahi nā manu i ka papa kuhikuhi crocodile a, ma ka laulā, he 10-15% wale nō o ka nui o nā meaʻai i ʻai ʻia e ka mea kolo. ʻO ke kumu, hāʻule nā manu i nā crocodiles ma ke kuhi hewa ʻole, ʻoiai, e laʻa me nā moa cormorant hou e hāʻule lele ʻole mai ka pūnana i loko o ka wai.
ʻO nā mākua nunui, nona ka nui i ʻoi aku ma mua o 3.5 mau mika, makemake lākou e ʻimi i nā māmela, ʻo ka nui o nā ungulate, i hele i kahi kahawai a i ʻole loko wai e inu. Akā ʻo nā holoholona ʻōpio i hiki i ka lōʻihi o 1.5 mau mika hiki ke hoʻomaka i ke alualu ʻana i nā mea mammal o nā nui nui ʻole, e like me nā moʻo liʻiliʻi, nā ʻano liʻiliʻi o nā antelope, nā rodents, lagomorphs a me nā opeapea. Aia kekahi exotic e like me nā pangolins ma kā lākou papa kuhikuhi, i kapa ʻia hoʻi nā moʻo, akā ʻaʻohe o lākou mea e pili ai i nā mea kolo. Hiki i nā predators liʻiliʻi e like me mongooses, civets, a me nā servals ke hāʻule i ka crocodile ulu.
Makemake nā crocodile makua e ʻimi i nā pāʻani nui e like me Kudu antelope, wildebeest, eland, zebra, buffalo, giraffe, puaʻa nahele, a ʻo nā mea nui hoʻi ke kiʻi aku i nā rhino a me nā ʻelepani ʻōpio. Ke ʻimi nei lākou i nā mea ʻino weliweli e like me nā liona, nā leopadi a me nā cheetah. ʻO ka pinepine, hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka papaʻai o ka mea kolo me ka ʻiʻo o nā hyenas a me nā ʻīlio hyena, a ʻo ia pū kekahi i lilo i poʻe hōʻeha kokoke i nā wahi wai.
Aia kekahi mau hihia o nā crocodile Nile e ʻai nei i nā holoholona a me nā kānaka. Inā ʻoe e manaʻoʻiʻo i nā ʻōlelo a nā kamaʻāina o nā kauhale ʻApelika, a laila, huki ʻia kekahi mau poʻe a ʻai ʻia e nā crocodiles i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki. I ka pau ʻana o ke kumuhana e pili ana i ka papaʻai o nā mea kolo o kēia laha, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohui pū ua ʻike ʻia nā crocodiles o Nile i loko o ka cannibalism, ke ʻai nā mākua i nā hua a ko lākou ʻohana a i ʻole nā keiki o kā lākou ʻano ponoʻī, a eia kekahi, hiki i kēia mea kolo ke ʻai i ka mea hakakā i make i ke kaua.
Hoʻohua a me nā keiki
Hiki i nā crocodile Nile ke oʻo i ka moekolohe ma kahi o ʻumi mau makahiki o ko lākou mau makahiki... I kēia hihia, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ke kāne he 2.5-3 mau mika, a ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka wahine he 2-2.5 mau mika. Hāʻule pinepine ke kau moʻa no kēia mau mea kolo i ka hopena o ka makahiki, ke hoʻomaka ka wā ua ma ʻApelika. I kēia manawa, hoʻāʻo nā kāne e hoʻohuli i ka manaʻo o nā wahine, no nā mea a lākou i kuʻi ai i ka wai me kā lākou muzzles, hū a kani pū. Ma ke ʻano he kūlana, koho ka wahine i ka hoa nui a ikaika hoʻi no ka hānau ʻana.
Ma hope o ke koho ʻana a ka "lede", hoʻomaka nā pāʻani moena, ʻo ia hoʻi ka ʻumiʻumi ʻana o nā crocodiles me nā ʻaoʻao haʻahaʻa o ka waha a hoʻopuka i nā leo ʻano ʻē a kēia mau mea kolo e hana ai i ka wā hānau wale nō. No ka moena ʻana, hoʻokahi a ʻelua mau minuke wale nō ka lōʻihi o ka manawa, luʻu kahi pālua i ka lalo o ka waihona wai, i mālama ʻia ke kaʻina holoʻokoʻa ma lalo o lākou.
Ma hope o ka hala ʻana o ʻelua mau mahina ma hope o ka "lā" me ke kāne, ʻeli ka wahine i kahi lua ma kahi o 50 cm ka hohonu o ke one kahakai i kahi mamao o kekahi mau mika mai ka wai, kahi āna e waiho ai he mau kakini hua, ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa loa ka nui a me ke ʻano o nā moa. Ke hoʻopau ʻia ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻomoe ʻana i nā hua manu, kāpīpī ka wahine i ka pūnana me ke one a laila no ʻekolu mau mahina, ʻoiai e hoʻomohala nā crocodile liʻiliʻi i loko o lākou, kokoke a pale i nā keiki e hiki mai ana mai nā hoʻoweliweli hiki. Eia kahi kokoke i ke kāne i kēia manawa āpau, no laila e kiaʻi pū ana nā lua crocodiles o Nile i ka paʻa.
Mea nui! ʻOiai ke kali nei i ke ʻano o nā keiki, lilo kēia mau mea kolo i mea ʻoi loa a wikiwiki i kēlā me kēia e hele kokoke mai i kā lākou pūnana.
Akā, me ka mālama nui ʻana o nā mākua, nalowale ka hapa nui o nā hua i hoʻomoe ʻia no nā kumu like ʻole, a i ʻole ke ola o nā keiki e ulu ana i loko o lākou e make no ke kumu ʻole, no laila he 10% wale nō o nā crocodile liʻiliʻi e ola a hiki i ka hatching.
E hele i waho nā ʻōpala mai nā hua manu iā lākou iho, e hoʻohana ana i kahi ulu paʻakikī paʻakikī ma ka waha, a haki lākou i nā pūpū paʻakikī, a i ʻole kōkua ko lākou mau mākua iā lākou e puka i waho. I mea e hana ai i kēia, lawe ka wahine a i ʻole ke kāne ʻōpala Nile i hua manu i loko o kona waha, ʻaʻole hiki i ka pēpē ke puka i waho, a ʻuwī liʻiliʻi iā ia me kona waha, ʻoiai ʻaʻole e paʻa ka hua i kāna mau niho, akā ma waena o ka leʻo a me ka elelo.
Inā hele nā mea āpau me ka ʻole o nā pilikia a hele mai nā keiki a ka Crocodile Nile mai nā hua manu iā lākou iho, a laila hoʻomaka lākou e kani e like me ka twitter. Ke lohe nei i ka ʻūlū ʻana, ʻeli ʻo ka makuahine i ka pūnana, a ma hope ua kōkua ʻo ia i nā keiki e hele i ka waihona pāpaʻu āna i wae ai ma mua, kahi e ulu ai a ulu ai nā moʻo liʻiliʻi: hōʻike ʻo ia i nā keiki i ke ala, i ka manawa like me ka pale ʻana iā lākou mai nā mea ʻaihue i ʻaʻa ʻole i ka ʻai ʻana i nā mea kolo hou, kāna mau keiki, no kekahi kumu, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana i kēia mea iā lākou iho, lawe iā lākou ma laila, e hoʻopaʻa pono iā lākou i loko o ko lākou waha.
ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka cub hānau hou o ka crocodile Nile ma kahi o 30 cm. Piʻi koke nā pēpē, akā mālama mau ka makuahine iā lākou no ʻelua mau makahiki hou. Inā hoʻonohonoho kekahi mau crocodile wahine i nā pūnana ma ka ʻaoʻao o kekahi, a laila ma hope e nānā like lākou i nā keiki, e hana ana i kahi mea e like me kahi kula māla crocodile.
Hoihoi ia! ʻAʻole hoʻoholo ʻia ka moekolohe o nā crocodiles liʻiliʻi e nā kumu genetical, akā e ka mahana i ka pūnana ʻoiai nā pēpē e ulu ana i loko o nā hua. I ka manawa like, hānau ka pāhana mahana i hānau ʻia nā kāne o nā crocodile Nile he liʻiliʻi a kau ʻia mai 31.7 a 34.5 kekelē.

Me he mea lā ʻo kahi superpredator e like me ka Crocodile Nile, e noho ana i ka niche kiʻekiʻe i loko o kāna kaiaolaola, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa iā ia nā ʻenemi kūlohelohe, akā ʻaʻole maoli ia he ʻoiaʻiʻo. Inā makaʻu wale kahi crocodile makua i ka hippos, me ia mau manawa he mau hakakā make ia, a ʻo ke kāne hoʻi, a laila he nui nā ʻenemi o kāna mau keiki i ke kūlohelohe. I ka manawa like, ʻo ka hoʻoweliweli nui i ka ulu ʻana i nā mea kolo e hele mai ana mai nā manu o nā mea lele: goliath herons, marabou a me nā ʻano kites like ʻole. A ʻaʻohe kūpikipiki nā crocodile makua i ka ʻai ʻana i nā hua manu a i ʻole nā hua hou o kā lākou ʻohana.
Hana ʻia ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo nā crocodile makua, me ka hōʻike ʻole ʻana i nā ʻōpio, lilo i poʻe makaʻu o nā meaola hānai manu, e like me nā liona, nā leopadi, nā hyenas, a me nā ʻīlio hyena.

Ma muli o ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ka 1940s-1960s ka Nroc crocodile kahi mea o ka ʻimi holoholona haʻuki, ʻo kāna helu, ka mea ma mua he nui wale, ua hoʻoliʻiliʻi, no laila ma kekahi mau wahi aia kahi hoʻoweliweli o ka luku ʻia o kēia laha. Eia nō naʻe, lawa ka heluna heluna kanaka o ka crocodile Nile e hāʻawi ʻia i ke kūlana mālama Least Concern.
ʻO ka crocodile Nile ka mea nui o ko ʻApelika pōpilikia e noho ana i ka wai hou a paʻa paha. Hāʻawi wale kēia mea kolo i ka manaʻo o ka lohi a wikiwiki ʻole: ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hiki ke hoʻolei i ka uila, a ma ka ʻāina e neʻe wikiwiki ai ka crocodile. Ua makaʻu a mahalo ʻia kēia mea kolo e nā poʻe i ka wanaʻao o ka lāhui, akā ua ola ka hoʻomana crocodile ma kekahi mau wahi ma ʻApelika a hiki i kēia lā: ʻo kahi laʻana, ma Burkina Faso, ke kuhi ʻia nei ka crocodile Nile he holoholona laʻa ia, a ma Madagascar ua mālama ʻia kēia mau mea kolo i nā waihona kūikawā. a i nā lā o nā lā hoʻomana hoʻomana e mōhai lākou i nā holoholona iā lākou.
