ʻO ka honu hope-pālahalaha (Natator depressus) no ka hoʻonohonoho honu.
Hoʻolahalaha o ka honu pālahalaha.
ʻO ka honu pālahalaha hope loa ia i Australia a kākaʻikahi ka hele ʻana mai nā wahi hoʻokaʻawale nui i ka wai ʻākau o Australia. Mai kēlā me kēia manawa, neʻe ia i Tropic o Capricorn a i ʻole nā kai kū kai o Papua New Guinea e ʻimi nei i ka meaʻai. Pākuʻi ʻia ka pae i ka Moana Iniana - hikina; Moana Pākīpika - Komohana Hema.
ʻO ka nohona o ka honu pālahalaha.
Makemake ka honu pālahalaha i kahi papakū a palupalu o lalo kokoke i ke kapakai a i ʻole ka wai kai o nā kahakai. ʻAʻole ʻaʻa ʻo ia e holo i ka papa ʻaina ʻaʻohe kū i waena o nā ʻākoʻakoʻa.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi honu pālahalaha.
Hoʻonohonoho liʻiliʻi ʻia ka honu pālahalaha a 100 cm a kaupaona ma kahi o 70 - 90 kilokilo. ʻO ka carapace he iwi, ʻaʻohe o nā kualono, ʻōwili palahalaha a pōʻai paha i ke ʻano. Ua pena ʻia i loko o ke kala hina-ʻoliva me kahi huluhulu ʻeleʻele a melemele paha i ka lihi. Hoʻopili ʻia ʻo Carapax ma ka lepa a uhi ʻia me ka ʻili. He keʻokeʻo huluhulu nā lālā.
I nā kuhukukū ʻōpio, ʻike ʻia nā scutes e kahi ʻano reticular o kahi leo hina hina; i ka waena, he ʻoliva nā scutes. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā wahine makua ma mua o nā kāne, akā ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka huelo o nā kāne. Loaʻa i nā kāne a me nā wahine nā poʻo āpau e ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻoliva i ke kala, e kūlike me ke kala o ka pū. Keokeo a melemele paha ka underbelly.
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona o kēia mau kuhukukū ko lākou laumania, a ʻo ka pūpū pale, i huli aʻe i luna ma nā lihi.
ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona hoihoi o nā honu pālahalaha ʻo ia ka lahilahi o ko lākou iwi ma mua o ko nā honu kai ʻē aʻe, no laila ʻo ke kaomi iki (e laʻa me ka pā ʻana i ka plastron me nā palaki) hiki ke hoʻokahe i ke kahe. ʻO kēia hiʻohiʻona ke kumu nui e pale ai nā honu manu pālahalaha i ka ʻauʻau ʻana i nā wahi pōhaku ma waena o nā ʻākolako.
Hānau manu hānai pālahalaha.
Aia ka moena i nā kuhukukū i kākoʻo ʻia i Nowemapa a me Kekemapa. ʻO kahi ma kahi e ʻike ʻia ai nā wahine hānau wahine ma Mon Repos Island, aia ma 9 km komohana komohana o ke kaona kai ʻo Bundaberg, Kuini. Aia nā pūnaewele hoʻomoe hua manu. ʻO kēia wahi kahi mālama mālama kūlohelohe me ka palena palena ʻole no ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi.
ʻEli nā wahine i ko lākou mau pūnana ma nā pali kuahiwi. ʻO nā hua manu ma kahi o 51 mm ka lōʻihi, hiki i kā lākou helu 50 - 150 mau hua. Hānau nā honu pālahalaha i ka makahiki 7 - 50 makahiki. Ma ke kūlohelohe, noho lākou no kahi manawa lōʻihi, a hiki i 100 mau makahiki.
Nā hana manu kuhukukū pale hope ʻia.
ʻAʻole ʻike nui ʻia e pili ana i ka lawena o nā kuhukukū i pā ʻia ma ke kai. Hoʻomaha ka poʻe mākua ma kahi kokoke i nā pōhaku a i ʻole ma lalo o nā pali pōhaku, ʻoiai e hiamoe ana nā honu ʻōpio ma luna o ka wai.
Hiki iā lākou ke noho ma lalo o ka wai no kekahi mau hola ma mua o ka lawe ʻana i ka hanu hou.
ʻO nā honu pālahalaha nā ʻauʻau kai maikaʻi loa, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ko lākou hiki ke pakele ke hoʻouka ʻia e nā mea ʻino. Hoʻohui ʻia, ʻike ʻia nā ʻōpio i ka pō, no laila hāʻawi ka pouli iā lākou i kahi pale e like me nā kuhukukū e hoʻololi i ko lākou wahi hou.
E hānai nei i ka honu pālahalaha.
ʻImi nā kuhukukū pālahalaha i ka mea pio i ke kai, e ʻike i nā kukama kai, nā mollusc, nā ʻōpala, nā jellyfish a me nā invertebrates ʻē aʻe i nā wai papau. He mau mea ʻai holoholona lākou a ʻaʻole ʻai iki i nā mea kanu.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
Ua hōʻiliʻili ʻia nā hua o nā honu pālahalaha no ka meaʻai, akā i kēia manawa, pāpā ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana.
ʻO kēia ʻano mea kolo he wahi hoʻokipa.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka honu pālahalaha.
Palupalu nā kuhukukū palahalaha ma ka papa inoa ʻo IUCN. Aia ka heleleʻi ʻana o nā helu ma muli o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻia o nā mea haumia i kai kai, pathogens, ka emi ʻana o ka wahi noho a me ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā kuhukukū no kā lākou mau hua. Hoʻoweliweli ʻia nā kuhukukū e nā ʻalopeke i lawe ʻia mai a hānau mai, nā ʻīlio hānai a me nā puaʻa.
I mea e pale aku ai i nā kuhukukū i kākoʻo ʻole ʻia i ka ʻupena i ka lawaiʻa ʻana, hoʻohana ʻia kahi mea hoʻokaʻawale honu kūikawā, me he mea lā he funnel a aia i loko o ka ʻupena i hopu wale ʻia nā iʻa liʻiliʻi. Honu manu kuhukukū papaha kekahi o nā palena ʻāina ʻoi loa o nā honu kai. No laila, pīhoihoi kēia mea a hōʻike i ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka emi ʻana, he kakaikahi loa nā kānaka i loaʻa i nā wahi noho, kahi e hōʻike ai i ka hoʻoweliweli o ka make.
