ʻO Elephants (Elephantidae) kahi ʻohana mammals e pili ana i ke kauoha Proboscidae. I kēia manawa, ua hōʻike ʻia kēia ʻohana e nā māmela ʻāina nui loa. Hiki i nā Elepani ke hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi iā lākou iho i ke aniani o ke aniani, kahi o nā hōʻailona o ka ʻike pilikino.
ʻO ke kali ola Elephant
ʻO ka awelika o ke ola o nā māmela e pili ana i ke kauoha Proboscidea e loli mau wale nō ma muli wale nō o nā ʻano laha, akā e noʻonoʻo pū ana i nā mea nui e like me ka nohona, ka makahiki a me nā ʻano meaʻai. ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻoliʻoli pinepine ʻana o nā ʻelepani pēpē i nā mea ʻaihue nui a ikaika loa hoʻi, hiki i nā māmela makua ke nānā wale i nā kānaka a me nā mea kūlohelohe ʻole ʻole ma ke ʻano he ʻenemi kūlohelohe wale nō.
Wahi a nā koho hou loa, aia wale nō ma kahi o 500-600 tausani mau ʻelepani ʻApelika i koe i ka nāhelehele, a ma lalo o nā kūlana maikaʻi, e noho ana ma kahi o 60-70 mau makahiki, a hoʻomau e ulu lohi i ko lākou ola. ʻAʻole nui ka heluna o nā ʻelepani ʻApelika, a pili ka emi ʻana o ka helu i ka neoneo o nā ʻāina āpau, ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā holoholona no ka niho ʻelepani a hoʻoneʻe ʻia e ka poʻe.
ʻAʻole pīpī ka elepani i ke koho ʻana o ka meaʻai, akā pili pono kona ola i ke kūlana a me ke kēkelē o nā niho.... Ke pau ka holoholona i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kona mau niho, hiki ʻole ka make kūpono ma muli o ka luhi nui. Ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, kokoke i ka makahiki o kanalima mau makahiki, hiki ke hoʻololi ʻole ʻia i ke kaʻina chewing, luku ʻia nā niho, a make mālie ka mammal i ka pololi.
Pehea ka lōʻihi o ka noho ʻana o nā ʻelepani i ke pio ʻana
E like me ka hōʻike ʻana i nā helu helu, ʻo ke ola o nā ʻelepani pio i ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa ma mua o nā holoholona e noho ana i nā kūlana kūlohelohe. ʻO kahi laʻana, ua make nā ʻelepani ʻApelika a me Kenyan e noho pio ana ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i nā makahiki he iwakālua, a hiki i nā poʻe no ka Kenyan ke noho i ke kūlohelohe a hiki i kanalima mau makahiki. Ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka nui o ka make ma waena o nā ʻelepani i hānau ʻia i loko o ke pio ʻana he ʻoi loa o ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o nā kūlana kūlohelohe.
Mea nui!ʻOiai ke ʻano o nā kūlana maikaʻi loa no ka mālama ʻana i nā holoholona hihiu i hana ʻia i loko o nā zoo a me nā kahu hānai, ʻo ke ola o kahi ʻelepani i ka hoʻopaʻa pio ʻana ma kahi o ʻekolu mau manawa ʻoi aku ka pōkole ma mua o ka awelika o ke ola o kahi mammal ma ke ʻano.
Wehewehe nā kānaka ʻepekema i kēia hanana e ka hui noʻonoʻo maʻalea o kēia holoholona sensual a kūpaʻa hoʻi. Hiki i nā ʻelepani ke kanikau a uē, akā hiki nō iā lākou ke ʻoliʻoli a ʻakaʻaka hoʻi.... He hoʻomanaʻo maikaʻi loa kā lākou. E like me ka nānā ʻana o nā wā lōʻihi, kuleana nui nā ʻelepani i nā maʻi o ko lākou mau hoahānau a hoʻopuni i ka poʻe maʻi me ka nānā a me ka mālama, a ma hope o ka make e hana lākou i kahi ʻano hoʻolewa holoʻokoʻa, e pīpī i ke kino me ka honua a uhi ʻia me nā lālā.
Ehia mau makahiki e noho ai nā ʻelepani i ke kūlohelohe
Nui loa nā ʻelepani makua. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ka nui o nā kāne o ka ʻelepani India i nā ʻelepani savannah, akā ʻo ko lākou nui he mea hoihoi loa a 6.0-6.4 m me ke kino o 5.4 tone.
No ka hoʻohālikelike, kaumaha ka ʻelepani ululāʻau ʻaneʻane i nā 7. tona. Eia nō naʻe, hāʻule pinepine nā ʻelepani ma mua o ʻelua mau makahiki i nā liona, nā leopadi, nā crocodiles a me nā hyenas hoʻi. Aia kekahi mau hihia i ka wā e hakakā ai nā ʻelepani me nā rhino nui.
Eia nō naʻe, make ka hapa o nā ʻelepani ʻōpio ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i ka makahiki he ʻumikūmālima. I ko lākou nui ʻana, hāʻule haʻahaʻa ka make a hiki i ka makahiki 45, a laila ala hou lākou. Ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o nā niho hope loa o ka ʻelepani, ua nalowale loa ka hiki ke nau pono i ka meaʻai a lākou a make ka pōloli.... I nā ʻelepani ʻĀnia, ua hoʻololi ʻia nā molara i ʻeono mau manawa i ko lākou ola, a ʻo ka mea hou loa i hāhā i ka makahiki he kanahā.
Eia kekahi, hiki i nā pōpilikia like ʻole ke pili i nā kumu nui o ka make, me nā ʻeha a me nā maʻi maʻamau o ka proboscis. ʻEha pinepine ka ʻelepani mai nā maʻi hiki ʻole ke hoʻōla ʻia e like me ka maʻi kōpaʻa a me ka tuberculosis, a me nā maʻi koko - septicemia. Ma ka laulaha, i kēia lā, ʻo ka predator wale nō ka hopena hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ka heluna kanaka elepani nā kānaka.
Nā hiʻohiʻona nui o ke ola elepani
I mea e mālama ai i ko lākou olakino, pono e neʻe a nui nā ʻelepani, me ka nānā ʻole i nā laha. ʻO ka ʻelepani, ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi, alakaʻi i kahi nohona i kapa ʻia he nomadic, a hiki i nā holoholona he ʻewalu a ʻoi paha mau holoholona o ka ʻohana like a i hui pū ʻia ma o ka launa aloha ʻana. Koho ʻia ka lōʻihi a me ke ʻaoʻao o kēlā me kēia ala holoholona e ka wahine ʻoi loa a me ka naʻauao.
Hoihoi ia!E like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e nā ʻike ʻepekema he nui, ʻokoʻa nā ʻelepani e noho ana i nā wahi ulu lāʻau, i kā lākou ʻano, he ʻokoʻa loa i ka hapa nui o ko lākou mau hoa e noho ana i nā wahi pālahalaha.
I nā zoo a me nā kahu hānai, hoʻolako ʻia ka ʻelepani i ka meaʻai, a nalowale loa ka pono e mālama i ka hoʻoikaika kino kūlohelohe. Ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i kahi nursery a zoo paha ke hāʻawi i kahi kūpono no ka mālama ʻana i kahi ʻelepani, ke hele wāwae ʻana a ʻauʻau ʻana iā ia, no laila, i ke pio ʻana, ua make mua kahi holoholona ma mua o kona mau ʻohana e noho ana i ka nāhelehele.
ʻO kahi hāʻule nui loa o ka mahele o ka mahele a me ka helu o nā ʻelepani hihiu i ʻike ʻia i loko o nā makahiki he hala i hala aku nei, e pili ana me ka hoʻonui nui ʻana o nā panalāʻau i hāʻawi ʻia no ka ʻāina mahiʻai a me nā māla eucalyptus. ʻO nā mea maka i hōʻiliʻili ʻia mai ia mau māla i waiwai nui ʻia i ka ʻoihana pepa a me ka hana pulp o Hikina Hema.
ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he mau hana kau kānāwai no ka pale ʻana o nā ʻelepani, ke luku nui ʻia nei kēia holoholona ma ke ʻano he pest malicious o ka mahiʻai.... Ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, hoʻomohala ʻia ke kālepa ʻana i nā tusp elephant. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻaʻole pepehi ʻia nā wahine o ka ʻelepani ʻĀsia e nā mākaʻi holoholona, no ka loaʻa ʻole o nā pū, a ʻo ka ʻimi no nā kāne he mea maʻamau a pili pū ʻia me ka mea ʻelepani i uku nui ʻia. A ʻo kahi hopena, ʻaʻole lawa ka nui o nā kāne i lilo i kumu nui no ka līkī ikaika i ka lakene wahine, ka mea i hoʻopili maikaʻi ʻole i ka demography wale nō, akā i nā genetics o nā ʻelepani.
