Honu manu kuhukukū (Nā Centrochelys sulcata) a i ʻole ka honu i ʻohana no ka ʻohana honu ʻāina.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi honu i hoʻoulu ʻia
ʻO ka honu spurred kekahi o nā honu nui loa i loaʻa ma ʻApelika. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kona nui ma mua o nā honu mai nā Mokupuni Galapagos. Hiki i ka pūpū i 76 cm ka lōʻihi, a ʻo nā mea nui loa he 83 cm ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka carapace ākea ākea he ʻeleʻele i ka waihoʻoluʻu, a he ʻulaʻula gula a ʻulaʻula paha ka ʻili mānoanoa. Ma ke kaʻa kaʻa, aia nā notches ma ka lihi o mua a me hope. ʻIke ʻia nā apo ulu ma kēlā me kēia puʻupuʻu, i akāka me ka makahiki. ʻO ke kaumaha o nā kāne mai 60 kg a 105 kg. ʻO ke kaumaha o nā wahine, mai 30 a 40 kg.
ʻO nā forelimbs o nā kuhukukū he kia kia a he 5 mau māiʻuʻu. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o kēia ʻano honu ke kū ʻana o 2-3 spurs conical nui ma nā ʻūhā o nā wahine a me nā kāne. ʻO ke kū ʻana o kēia ʻano i kōkua i ka helehelena o ka inoa laha - honu spurred. Pono kēlā ulu ulu no ka ʻeli ʻana i nā lua a me fossae i ka wā o ka oviposition.
I nā kāne, i mua o ka pūpū, hoʻomohala ʻia nā pale protruding e like me nā pine.
Hoʻohana ʻia kēia mea kaua e nā kāne i ka wā o ka moena, ke huli aʻe kekahi i kekahi i kekahi i ka hoʻokuʻi. He lōʻihi loa ka hakakā ʻana o nā kāne a hoʻoluhi i nā hoa hakakā ʻelua.
Ma waena o nā honu i hoʻoulu ʻia, aia kekahi mau kānaka me kahi ʻāpana plastron bumpy. ʻO kēlā ʻano ʻokoʻa mai ke ʻano maʻamau o ka pūpū ʻaʻole ia ka maʻa a kū aʻe me ka nui o ka phosphorous, ka nele o nā paʻakai calcium a me ka wai.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa hana honu
Hoʻoikaika nui nā Spur Turtle i ka wā ua (Iulai a ʻOkakopa). Hānai nui lākou i ka wanaʻao a me ke ahiahi, ʻai i nā mea kanu momona a me nā mauʻu mau makahiki. Holoi pinepine lākou i ke kakahiaka e hoʻāla i ka mahana o ko lākou kino ma hope o ka hoʻoluʻolu o ka pō. I ka wā maloʻo, peʻe nā honu makua i ke anuanu, nā lua pulu e hōʻalo ai i ka make wai. Piʻi nā honu ʻōpio i loko o nā lua o nā māmala liʻiliʻi o ka wao akua e kali ai i ke kau wela.
Hānai hānai hoʻohua
Lilo nā honu Spore i ka moekolohe ma ka makahiki 10-15 mau makahiki, ke ulu lākou a 35-45 cm. Hana ʻia ka male ʻana mai Iune a Malaki, akā ma hope pinepine o ka ua i Sepatemaba a Nowemapa. Lilo nā kāne i kēia wā i mea kūʻē a hakakā me kekahi, e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻohuli i ka ʻenemi. Hāpai ka wahine i nā hua no 30-90 mau lā. Koho ʻo ia i kahi kūpono i ka lepo one a ʻeli ʻo 4-5 mau lua ma kahi o 30 cm ka hohonu.
ʻEhi mua me nā lālā mua, a laila ʻeli me ka hope. Ke waiho nei he 10 a 30 mau hua i kēlā me kēia pūnana, a laila kanu ʻia i mea e hūnā loa ai i ka paʻa. Nui nā hua, 4.5 cm ke anawaena. Hana ʻia ka hoʻomohala ma kahi mahana o 30-32 ° C a mau nā lā he 99-103. Ma hope o ka lālau mua, hana pinepine ʻia ka moena i kekahi manawa.
Hoʻolahalaha ka honu ākea
Loaʻa nā kuhukukū Spur ma nā ʻaoʻao hema o ka wao akua ʻo Sahara. Ua hoʻolaha lākou mai Senegal a me Mauritania, ma ka hikina ma waena o nā wahi maloʻo o Mali, Chad, Sudan, a laila hele a puni ʻo ʻAitiopa a me Eritrea. Hiki ke loaʻa kēia ʻano ma Niger a me Somalia.
Nā wahi noho o ka honu i hoʻoulu ʻia
Noho nā honu Spur i nā wahi wela, maloʻo i loaʻa ʻole ka ua no nā makahiki. Loaʻa i nā savannas maloʻo, kahi kahi o ka wai mau ʻole. Kūpono kēia ʻano mea kolo me nā mahana i ko lākou wahi noho mai 15 kekelē i nā hoʻoilo anuanu, a i ke kauwela e ola lākou i nā mahana ma kahi o 45 C.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka honu i hoʻoulu ʻia
Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka honu spurred e like me Vulnerable ma ka IUCN Red List a i helu ʻia ma ka Annex II o ka Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. Ke emi wikiwiki nei ka heluna kanaka ma Mali, Chad, Niger a me ʻAitiopa, ʻo ka hopena ma muli o ka nui o ka nui a me ka neoneo. Noho kekahi mau pūʻulu liʻiliʻi o nā mea kolo kolohe i nā wahi i noho ʻia e nā ʻohana nomadic, kahi e hopu pinepine ʻia ai nā kuhukukū no ka ʻiʻo.
ʻO ke kūlana nāwaliwali o kēia ʻano i nā makahiki i hala aku nei ua hoʻonui ʻia e ka hoʻonui ʻana o nā iʻa no nā kālepa kūwaho, e like me nā holoholona a no ka hana ʻana i nā lāʻau mai nā ʻāpana o nā honu, i waiwai nui ʻia ma Iapana ma ke ʻano he lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka mea mua, hopu ʻia nā ʻōpio ʻōpio, no laila, aia ka makaʻu ma hope o kekahi mau hanauna he emi loa ka hana hou ʻana o nā laha i ke ʻano, kahi e alakaʻi ai i ka luku ʻia o nā kuhukukū laha ʻole i ko lākou wahi noho.
Mālama ʻia ʻo Turtle Conservation
He kūlana mālama ko Spur kuhukukū ma waena o kā lākou pae, a ʻoiai nā hana pale, hopu hewa ʻole ʻia lākou no ke kūʻai aku. Kuhi ʻia nā kuhukukū ma CITES Appendix II, me kahi ʻelima makahiki o ka hoʻouka makahiki. Akā kūʻai ʻia aku nā honu laha ʻole ma nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe ma nā ʻāina ʻē, ʻoiai paʻakikī loa e hoʻokaʻawale i waena o nā holoholona i hānai ʻia i nā nursery a me nā kānaka i paʻa i ke kūlohelohe.
Ke hana nei nā luna hoʻomalu kānāwai e kūʻē nei i ka palaho ʻana o nā kuhukukū, akā ʻo ka nele o nā ʻaelike ma waena o nā ʻāina ʻApelika e pili ana i ka pale like ʻana o nā holoholona laha ʻole ka mea e hoʻopilikia nei i ka hana mālama a lawe ʻole i nā hopena i manaʻo ʻia.
Maʻalahi maʻalahi ka spur Turtle e hānai i ka lawe pio ʻana, hānai ʻia i ka US no ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka noi kūloko, a hoʻolilo ʻia i Iapana. I kekahi mau wahi maloʻo o ʻApelika, noho nā honu i hoʻouluulu ʻia i nā wahi i pale ʻia, pili kēia i nā heluna kanaka i nā pāka aupuni ma Mauritania a ma Nigera, kahi e kōkua ai i ke ola ʻana o nā laha i nā ʻano wao nahele.
Ma Senegal, he honu ka honu spurred o ka pono, ka hauʻoli, ka momona a me ka lōʻihi o ke ola, a hoʻonui kēia ʻano i nā manawa e hiki ai ke ola o kēia laha. I kēia ʻāina, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi kikowaena no ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me ka pale ʻana o kekahi ʻano honu laha ʻole, akā naʻe, i ke ʻano o ka neoneo hou ʻana, ua hoʻoweliweli nā honu i ko lākou wahi noho, ʻoiai nā hana palekana i hana ʻia.
