ʻO ka honu Blending (Emydoidea blandingii) pili i ke kauoha o ka honu, ka papa reptile.
Hoʻolahalaha ka honu Blending.
He ʻōiwi ko ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa honu. Hoʻonui aku ka pae i ke komohana a i ka Hikina Hema o Ontario a me Nova Scotia hema. Loaʻa lākou iā lākou ma ka hema o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka Great Lakes Region. Ua pālahalaha nā mea kolo ma ka ʻākau hikina o Maine, ma ke komohana ʻākau o South Dakota a me Nebraska, me ka hikina hema ʻo New York, Pennsylvania, ʻIlika, Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Hikina Hema Minnesota, New Hampshire. a me ka mokuʻāina ʻo Ohio. Loaʻa ma Wisconsin, Missouri.
ʻO ka honu honu Blending.
ʻO nā honu Blending nā honu semi-aquatic, noho lākou ma nā ʻāina papau kahi e nui ai nā mea kanu wai. Noho kēia mau mea kolo i nā wahi waikawa kahi e peʻe ai lākou mai nā mea ʻino. ʻAi lākou i nā wahi momona o ka wai maoli, keu hoʻi i ke kauwela. I ka wā hoʻoilo, ʻike pinepine ʻia kēia mau honu wai hou ma nā wahi me ka wai ma lalo o hoʻokahi mika ka hohonu, e like me nā kahawai, nā loko maloʻo a me nā kahawai.
ʻO kēia mau wai pulu he 35 a 105 mau kenimika wale nō ka hohonu.
Koho nā wahine i nā wahi o ka ʻāina no ka pūnana kahi ʻaʻohe mea kanu i ka lepo. ʻAʻole huki ka hemahema o nā mea kanu i nā mea hiki ke hele mai nā wahi a puni. Kūkulu nā honu i ko lākou mau pūnana ma nā ʻaoʻao o nā alanui a ma nā kaʻe o nā ala. No ka hānai ʻana a me ka hānau ʻana ʻana, neʻe aku nā honu Blending i nā wahi waikawa a me nā nāhelehele. ʻO nā wahi noho terrestrial ka wahi i makemake ʻia no ka hānai ʻana i ka pō.
ʻIke ʻia nā honu ʻōpio i nā kino wai pāpaʻu e pili ana i ke kāʻei ulu lāʻau. ʻO kēia koho ʻana o ka habitat e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā hālāwai me nā mea ʻino.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka honu Blending.
ʻO ka iwi leʻaleʻa o ka honu Blending ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele i ke kala. Ma ka hope, aia nā kiko melemele a me nā ʻano ʻeleʻele a me nā melemele ʻokoʻa ma nā ʻūlū. Hiki ke ana ʻia ka pūpū o kahi honu makua mai 150 a i 240 mau mika. Loaʻa nā paona paona mai 750 a 1400 gram. Pālahalaha ke poʻo, polū hina ke kua a me nā ʻaoʻao. Puka ka maka i ka waha. Uhi nā unahi melemele i nā lālā a me nā huelo. Aia kekahi pūnaewele pūnaewele ma waena o nā manamana wāwae.
ʻOiai ʻaʻohe ʻokoʻa nui o ka nui ma waena o nā wahine a me nā kāne, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka plastron concave o nā kāne.
Holo nā puka lou ma ka ʻaoʻao ventral o ka pūpū i loko o ʻelua mau makahiki o ka honu ʻōpio, a kokoke pau paha i ka hiki ʻana o nā honu i ka makahiki ʻelima. ʻEleʻele ka plastron i nā honu liʻiliʻi me kahi ʻā melemele ma ka lihi. ʻOi aku ka lahilahi o nā huelo ma mua o nā mākua. Pena ʻia nā kuhukukū i nā waihoʻoluʻu māmā, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā pūpū poepoe, ʻokoʻa ka nui mai 29 a 39 millimeter, a me ke kaupaona mai 6 a 10 gram. Hiki ke kau ʻia nā honu kahiko e nā apo ma kā lākou pūpū.
Hānau honu Blending.
Hoʻohua nui ʻia nā honu Blending i ka hoʻomaka mua o ka puna, i Malaki a i ka mua o ʻApelila, ke pau ka hoʻoilo.
Hana nā wahine i nā keiki ma waena o nā makahiki 14 a 21, a hiki i nā kāne ke hānau hou ma kahi o 12 mau makahiki.
Pākuʻi lākou me kekahi mau kāne. Eia nō naʻe, i ka wā o ka noho aloha ʻana, huhū loa nā kāne a nahu wahine i ka pūpū. ʻAʻau aku ka wahine i kekahi manawa mai ke kāne aku, a alualu ke kāne iā ia i loko o ka wai a lūlū ikaika i kona poʻo i luna a i lalo, a hoʻokuʻu i nā ea i lalo o ka wai. Hoʻomoe nā wahine i nā hua i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki i ka hopena o Iune a me ka mua o Iulai. Hoʻomoe lākou i ka pō ma kahi o 10 mau lā. Koho lākou i nā wahi palekana me nā lau nahele liʻiliʻi ma ka lepo. ʻO nā kahakai o ka loko, nā ʻiliʻili pebble, nā kahakai a me nā alanui he mau wahi pūnana maʻamau. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā hua manu kuhukukū i nā lua i eli ʻia he 12 knm ka hohonu. Kūlike ka nui o nā paʻa mai 3 a 19 mau hua. Loaʻa nā mahana hoʻoulu mai 26.5 kekelē a i 30 kekelē. Hōʻike nā honu liʻiliʻi ma hope o 80 a 128 mau lā, maʻamau i Kepakemapa a ʻOkakopa. Kaupaona lākou i 6 i ka 10 gram. Hele nā honu ʻōpio e ʻimi i nā wahi noho ʻāina a me nā wai kūpono no ka hoʻoilo. Maliʻa, noho ka honu Blending i ke ʻano no 70-77 mau makahiki.
Hoʻohui honu Blending.
ʻOiai pili ʻia nā kuhukukū o Blending me kahi nohona wai, puka pinepine lākou i waho o ka wai e komo i nā lāʻau, nā moena hoʻoliʻiliʻi a i ʻole kekahi ʻāpana o ka ʻāina. Neʻe kēia mau honu i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā wahi noho me ka meaʻai nui. Uhi nā kāne ma kahi o 10 km, 2 km wale nō nā wahine, a i ka manawa o ka pūnana hiki ke uhi lākou i kahi mamao a 7.5 km. Hōʻuluʻulu ka poʻe ʻelemakule i hoʻokahi wahi, kahi mai 20 a i 57 mau honu ma ka hectare. I ʻOkakopa a me Nowemapa, hana lākou i nā hui no ka hoʻoilo, koe i koe i nā loko iʻa, hibernating a hiki i ka hopena o Malaki.
Hoʻohui kai honu.
ʻO nā kuhukukū Blending nā mea kolo kolo nui, akā ʻo ka hapalua o kā lākou papaʻai he crustacea. ʻAi lākou i nā pio a me nā kino make. ʻAi lākou i nā mea kolo a me nā invertebrates ʻē aʻe, nā ʻāpana dragonfly, nā beetles, a me nā iʻa, nā hua manu, nā rana, a me nā nīno. Mai nā mea kanu makemake lākou i ka hornwort, duckweed, sedge, ʻohe, a ʻai pū i nā ʻanoʻano. ʻAi nā honu makua i ka meaʻai holoholona, ʻoiai ʻo ka hānai ʻōpio ka hapanui o ka hulu.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka honu Blending.
Wahi a ka IUCN Red List, weliweli nā honu o Blending, aneane hoʻoweliweli ʻia ko lākou kūlana. Aia kēia mau kuhukukū ma ka Appendix II o CITES, ʻo ia hoʻi inā ʻaʻole kaohi ʻia ke kālepa ma kēia ʻano kope, e hoʻoweliweli ʻia nā kuhukukū.
ʻO nā mea hoʻoweliweli nui i nā laha: ka make ma nā alanui, nā hana a nā mea ʻai manu, nā hoʻouka kaua a nā mea hōʻole.
Lawe ʻia nā hana e pāpā i ka hoʻohana ʻana o nā lāʻau make i nā wahi noho wai i ʻike ʻia o nā kuhukukū o Blanding. Aia nā hana mālama i nā wahi buffer, a ʻae ʻia nā ala a me nā kūkulu i kahi mamao mamao mai nā wahi wai.
Noho nā honu Blending i nā wahi pale a puni ka laulā, me kahi heluna lehulehu loa i kaulana ma Nebraska. Ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā papahana mālama i kekahi mau mokuʻāina ʻo US a ma Nova Scotia.
Aia nā hana mālama e:
- e hoʻemi ana i ka make o nā honu ma nā alanui (kūkulu i nā pā i nā wahi e neʻe ai nā mea kolo i nā ala).
- kapu loa i ka lawaiʻa ʻana no ke kūʻai aku,
- ka pale ʻana i nā wahi wai nui a me nā kino liʻuliʻu o ka wai. A me ka pale pono ʻana o nā wahi ʻāina pili e hoʻohana ʻia no ka pūnana a me nā alaloa no ka neʻe ma waena o nā ʻāina wai.
- ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i nā moʻo mai nā wahi e hānai ai nā kuhukukū.
