ʻO Atlantic Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) kahi mea kolo liʻiliʻi o ke kai.
ʻO nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka Moana ʻAkelanika.
ʻO ka Atlantic Ridley ka laha liʻiliʻi loa o nā honu kai, mai ka 55 a i ka 75 cm. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi he 65 knm. ʻO ke kaumaha o kēlā me kēia kanaka mai 30 a 50 kg. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻihoʻi ʻia ke poʻo a me nā lālā (fin). Aneane puni ka carapace, kahe ʻia ke kino no ka lana maikaʻi ʻana. ʻO ke poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī he hina-ʻoliva, a keʻokeʻo ka plastron i melemele māmā.
ʻEhā mau lālā o ka ʻAkelanika Ridley. Hoʻohana ʻia ka wāwae mua o ka wāwae no ka neʻe ʻana i ka wai, a ʻo ka lua e hoʻoponopono a hoʻokūpaʻa i ke kūlana o ke kino.
Pale aku nā maka o luna i nā maka. E like me nā kuhukukū a pau, nele ka niho o ka ʻAtelanika Ridley, a ʻo ke au o ka nuku ke ʻano o ka nuku ākea e like iki me ka nuku o kahi ʻoka. ʻAʻole ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o nā kāne a me nā wahine a hiki i ka honu ʻana i nā kuhukukū. Hoʻohālikelike ʻia nā kāne e nā wā lōʻihi, ʻoi aku ka ikaika a me nā māiʻuʻu nui, hāwanawana. Hinahina-ʻeleʻele i ke kala nā ʻōpio.
Hoʻolaha o ka Atlantic Ridley.
He palena palena palena loa ko ʻAnelanika Ridley; ka hapanui i loaʻa ma ke kahawai ʻo Mexico a ma ke kapakai hikina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Noho ia ma kahakai 20-kilomita ma Nuevo, ma ka ʻākau hikina o Mekiko, me ka hapa nui o nā mea pūnana i ka moku ʻo Tamaulipas ʻo Mekiko.
Ua ʻike ʻia kēia mau kuhukukū ma Veracruz a me Campeche. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā pūnaewele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma Texas ma ka hema o ka mokuʻāina. Hiki ke loaʻa ʻo Atlantic Ridley ma Nova Scotia a me Newfoundland, Bermuda.
ʻO nā wahi noho o ka ʻAkelanika ridley.
ʻIke ʻia nā kahakai ʻAkelanika ma nā kahakai papau me nā coves a me nā lagoons. Makemake kēia mau honu i nā kino o ke kai he one a lepo paha, akā hiki ke ʻau i ke kai ākea. I ka wai kai, hiki iā lākou ke luʻu a hohonu loa. ʻAʻohe ʻikea nā kahakai ʻo ʻAkelanika ma nā kapakai, nā pūnana wahine wale nō ma ka ʻāina.
ʻIke pū ʻia nā kuhukukū ʻōpio i loko o ka wai papau, kahi pinepine i kahi pāpaʻu a me nā wahi o ke one, ʻiliahi a me ka lepo.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka Atlantic Ridley.
Hoʻoweliweli ʻino ʻo ʻAtelika Ridley ma ka papa inoa ʻulaʻula o IUCN. Ua helu ʻia ma ka Manaʻo I o CITES a me ka Pepa I a me II o ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā ma nā Migratory Species (Bonn Convention).
Hoʻoweliweli i ka wahi noho o ka Atelanika ridley.
Hōʻike nā kahakai ʻAkelanika i nā hōʻemi hōʻeuʻeu ma muli o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o nā hua manu, a me ka make ʻana o ka honu mai ka huki ʻana. I kēia lā, ʻo ka hoʻoweliweli nui i ke ola ʻana o kēia lā manu kuhukukū, hele mai ia mai nā trawlers shrimp, kahi e lawaiʻa pinepine ai i nā wahi kahi e hānai ai ʻo Ridley. Hoʻopili ʻia nā honu i nā ʻupena, a ua manaʻo ʻia aia ma waena o 500 a 5,000 mau kānaka e make i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma nā wahi lawaiʻa ʻōpae. ʻO nā mea hūnā ʻōpio loa ka mea e kolo ana mai ka pūnana a neʻe i kai. He lohi mālie ʻo Ridleys a lilo i mea maʻalahi no nā manu, nā ʻīlio, nā raccoons, nā coyotes. ʻO nā mea hoʻoweliweli nui i nā mākua mai nā manika tiger a me nā kohola kohola.
Ka pale ʻana i ka Moana ʻAkelanika.
Pāpā ʻia ka kālepa kūwaho ma nā awāwa ʻAkelanika. Ua hoʻolaha ʻia ke kahakai nui o kēia mau manu kuhukukū ma ke ʻano he National Wildlife Refuge mai ka makahiki 1970. I ka wā hānau, kiaʻi ʻia nā pūnana me nā hua manu e nā mākaʻi mākaukau, no laila ua kāpae ʻia nā kūʻai kū ʻole i ke kānāwai.
Lawe ʻia ka lawaiʻa ʻōpae i nā wahi e noho ʻia e ka ʻAkelanika Ridley e nā ʻupena, i hoʻolako ʻia me nā pono hana kūikawā e pale aku i ka lawaiʻa ʻana no nā kuhukukū. Aia nā ʻaelike kūwaho no ka hoʻolauna ʻana o kēia mau hāmeʻa a puni ka honua i nā ʻōpili ʻōpala i mea e pale aku ai i ka make ʻana o nā mea kolo kolo. ʻO nā hana i mālama ʻia no ka mālama ʻana i ka Moana ʻAkelanika ua alakaʻi i ka lohi o ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana i nā helu, a ʻo ka nui o nā wahine hānau he 10,000 paha.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka Atlantic ridley.
Noho ʻo Atlantic Ridleys i ka hapa nui o ko lākou ola i kahi kaʻawale. E hoʻopili wale no ka hoʻopili ʻana.
Hana ʻia ka male ʻana i ka wai. Hoʻohana nā kāne i kā lākou mau flipā lōhiu a wili e paʻa ai ka wahine.
I ka wā hānau, hōʻike ʻo Atlantic Ridleys i ka pūnana synchronous nui, me nā tausani wahine e hele ana i ke one one e waiho hua i ka manawa like. ʻO ka wā pūnana mai ʻApelila a Iune. Hana nā wahine i ka awelika o ʻelua a ʻekolu paha paʻa i ka wā hānau, i kēlā me kēia me 50 a 100 mau hua. ʻEli nā wahine i nā lua hohonu e hūnā i loko o lākou a hoʻomoe i nā hua, kokoke e hoʻopiha piha i ka lua i hoʻomākaukau ʻia. A laila kanu ʻia kahi lua me nā lālā, a hoʻohana ʻia kahi plastron e holoi i nā māka i waiho ʻia ma ke one.
He ʻili nā hua a uhi ʻia me ka mauʻu, kahi e pale ai iā lākou mai ka luku ʻia. Noho nā wahine i ʻelua mau hola a ʻoi paha ma ka pūnana ʻana. Kau ʻia nā hua ma ka ʻāina a hoʻoulu ʻia ma kahi o 55 mau lā. Pili ka lōʻihi o ka ulu ʻana o ka embryo i ka mahana. Ma nā mahana haʻahaʻa, ʻoi aku nā kāne hou aʻe, ʻoiai i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka mahana, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine.
Hoʻohana nā ʻōpio i kahi niho kuʻi e wāwahi i ka pūpū o ka hua manu. Hele mai nā honu i ka papa o ke one mai 3 a 7 mau lā a kolo koke i ka wai i ka pō. No ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kai, ua alakaʻi ʻia lākou e ka ikaika nui o ka mālamalama e aniani mai ka wai. Loaʻa paha iā lākou kahi panana magnet i loko e alakaʻi iā lākou i loko o ka wai. Ma hope o ke komo ʻana o nā honu ʻōpio i loko o ka wai, ʻauʻau mau lākou no 24 a 48 mau hola. Hoʻolilo ʻia ka makahiki mua o ke ola mai kahakai i ka wai hohonu, kahi e hoʻonui ai i nā manawa o ke ola ʻana, i kahi pale ʻana mai nā mea hōkai. Mālie mālie ʻo Atlantic Ridley, mai 11 a 35 mau makahiki. ʻO ke ola ke ola he 30-50 mau makahiki.
ʻO ke ʻano o ka Atlantic ridley.
Hoʻololi nui ʻia ʻo ʻAkelanika Ridley i ka ʻauʻau ʻana a lilo i ka hapa nui o ko lākou ola i ka wai. He ʻano neʻe kēia mau honu. Kāhea aku kekahi poʻe i kekahi i kekahi, ʻoiai, i ka wā o ka moena ʻana a me ka pūnana ʻana. ʻAʻole aʻo ʻia ka hana o ke ao o kēia mau honu.
Hana nā leo ʻAkelanika i nā leo namunamu e kōkua i nā kāne a me nā wahine e loaʻa kekahi i kekahi. He mea nui paha ka hihiʻo i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kēlā me kēia kanaka e pili pū ana me nā mea ʻaihue.
ʻO ka meaʻai maikaʻi o ka Atlantic Ridley.
ʻAi ʻia nā awāwa ʻo ʻAkelanika i nā pāpaʻi, iʻa pūpū, ʻōpae, jellyfish, a me nā mea kanu. Hoʻololi ʻia nā iwi ā o kēia mau honu no ka ʻānai ʻana a me ka wili ʻana i ka meaʻai.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
Ma ka hopena o ka lawaiʻa kū kānāwai ʻole, hoʻohana ʻia nā awāwa ʻAkelanika no ka meaʻai, ʻaʻole wale nā hua manu, akā ʻai pū ʻia ka ʻiʻo, a hoʻohana ʻia ka pūpū e hana ai i nā waihona a me nā mōlina. Manaʻo ʻia nā hua o kēia mau honu i kahi hopena aphrodisiac.
