ʻO ka honu hoʻomālamalama (Astrochelys radiata) pili i ke kauoha o ka honu, ka papa reptile.
Hoʻolahalaha o ka honu ʻālohilohi.
Ma ka hema a ma ke komohana hema o Madagascar wale nō ka honu ʻōlinolino. Ua hoʻolauna pū ʻia kēia ʻano i ka mokupuni kokoke o Reunion.
Ke ʻano noho o ka honu ʻālohilohi.
Loaʻa ka honu hoʻomālamalama i ka nahele maloʻo a me ka nahele ʻoi o ka hema a me ke komohana hema o Madagascar. Hoʻokaʻawale loa ka wahi noho a kokoke nā honu i ka make. Noho nā kolo ma kahi kahiki kokoke i 50 - 100 km mai ke kahakai. ʻAʻole i ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ʻāina ma kahi o 10,000 mau kilomika kūlike.
Hoʻohālikelike ʻia kēia mau wahi o Madagascar e ka ua haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, a ʻoi aku ka ulu o nā mea kanu xerophytic i nā wahi. Hiki ke loaʻa nā honu kukuna ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe o uka, a ma nā puʻu one hoʻi ma kahakai, kahi e hānai nui ai lākou i nā mauʻu a me ka pea prickly i hoʻolauna ʻia. I ka wā ua, ʻike ʻia nā mea kolo ma nā pōhaku, kahi e hōʻiliʻili ai ka wai i nā kaumaha ma hope o ka ua.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi honu hoʻomālamalama.
Honu kukuna - he lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o 24.2 a 35.6 cm a me ke kaumaha a hiki i 35 kilokilo. ʻO ka honu hoʻomālamalama kekahi o nā kuhukukū nani loa o ka honua. He pūpū kiʻekiʻe kona, kahi poʻo kuli a me nā lālā elepani. Melemele nā wāwae a me ke poʻo, koe wale no kahi kūpaʻa ʻole, ʻeleʻele ka nui o nā kiko ʻeleʻele ma ka piko o ke poʻo.
ʻĀlohilohi ka carapace, kahakaha ʻia me nā laina melemele e hoʻomālamalama mai ana ma waenakonu o kēlā me kēia scutellum ʻeleʻele, no laila ka inoa o kēia ʻano "honu kukuna". ʻOi aku ka kikoʻī a me ka paʻakikī o kēia kumu "hōkū" ma mua o nā ʻano honu e pili ana. Mālie nā scutes o ka carapace a ʻaʻohe ona ʻano puʻupuʻu, pyramidal, e like me nā honu ʻē aʻe. Aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa wahine i waho o nā kāne a me nā wahine.
Hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā wahine, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka huelo o nā kāne, a ʻoi aku ka ʻike ʻia o ka notch o ka plastron ma lalo o ka huelo.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka honu ʻālohilohi.
Hānau nā honu ʻōniʻoniʻo kāne ke hiki aku lākou i ka lōʻihi ma kahi o 12 knm, ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o nā wahine he mau kenimika. I ka wā o ka moʻo ʻana, hōʻike ke kāne i kahi ʻano walaʻau, hoʻoluliluli kona poʻo a honi i nā lālā o ka wahine a me ka cloaca. I kekahi mau hihia, hāpai ʻo ia i ka wahine me ka lihi mua o kona pūpū e hoʻopaʻa iā ia inā hoʻāʻo ʻo ia e pakele. A laila neʻe ke kāne a kokoke i ka wahine ma hope a kīkē i ka ʻāpana anal o ka plastron ma ka pūpū o ka wahine. I ka manawa like, hese ʻo ia me ke kaniʻuhū, ʻo ia mau kani ke hele pū me ka honu o nā kuhukukū. Hoʻomoe ka wahine i 3 a 12 mau hua i loko o kahi lua i eli mua ʻia he 6 a 8 paha ʻīniha a laila haʻalele. Hoʻopuka nā wahine makua i ʻekolu mau paʻa i kēlā me kēia kau, i kēlā me kēia pūnana mai a i ka 1-5 mau hua. Ma kahi o 82% o nā wahine wahine moekolohe wale nō.
Hoʻolālā ka hua no kahi manawa lōʻihi - 145 - 231 mau lā.
Aia nā honu ʻōpio i ka nui mai 32 a 40 mm. Ua pena keʻokeʻo ʻia lākou. I ko lākou ulu ʻana, lawe ko lākou pūpū i ke ʻano kihi. ʻAʻohe ʻikepili kikoʻī e pili ana i ka lōʻihi o nā kuhukukū ʻōlinolino i ke ʻano, manaʻo ʻia ke ola nei lākou a 100 mau makahiki.
Ke ʻai nei i kahi honu hoʻomālamalama.
ʻO nā honu kukuna nāhelehele. Hana nā mea kanu ma kahi o 80-90% o kā lākou papaʻai. ʻAi lākou i ka lā, ʻai i ka mauʻu, nā huaʻai, nā mea kanu kō. Mea ʻai punahele - practly pear cactus. I ka hoʻopaʻa pio ʻana, hānai ʻia nā honu mālamalama me nā ʻuala, nā kāloti, nā ʻāpala, nā maiʻa, nā ʻōpuʻu alfalfa, a me nā ʻāpana o ka melon. Hānai mau lākou i ka wahi like me nā wahi me nā mea kanu haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa. Makemake nā honu kukuna i nā lau ʻōpio a me nā wana no ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o ka protein a me ka fiber liʻiliʻi.
Hoʻoweliweli i ka heluna honu ʻōlinolino.
Hoʻoweliweli ke kiʻi kope a me ka nalo ʻana o ka nohona i ka honu ʻālohilohi. Loaʻa i ka nalo ʻana o ka nohona ka wao nahele a me ka hoʻohana ʻia o kahi i hakahaka ʻia e like me ka ʻāina mahiʻai no ka hānai holoholona, a me ka puhi ʻana i ka wahie e hana i nā lanahu. Hopu ʻia nā honu launa ʻole no ke kūʻai aku i nā hōʻiliʻili o ka honua a no ka hoʻohana ʻia e nā kamaʻāina kūloko.
Kūleʻa nā mea kālepa Asia ma ka smuggling holoholona, ʻoi loa ke ake o nā mea kolo.
I nā wahi pale o Mahafali a me Antandroy, palekana ka honu kukuna, akā i nā wahi ʻē aʻe i hopu ʻia lākou e nā mākaʻikaʻi a me nā mea lawaiʻa. Ma kahi o 45,000 mau kuhukukū ʻālohilohi makua e kūʻai ʻia aku nei i kēlā me kēia makahiki mai ka mokupuni. ʻO ka meaʻai honu ka mea ʻono gourmet a makemake nui ʻia i ka Kalikimaka a me ka Easter. ʻAʻole mākaʻi mākaʻi ʻia nā wahi pale a hoʻomau ʻia ka hōʻiliʻili nui o nā kuhukukū ma waena o nā wahi i pale ʻia. Mālama pinepine ka poʻe Mānikū i nā honu e like me nā holoholona i loko o nā paddock, me nā moa a me nā ʻāpala.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka honu ʻālohilohi.
Aia ka honu ʻālohilohi i ka weliweli nui no ka nalo ʻana o kahi e noho ai, ka hopu palena ʻole ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻiʻo, a kūʻai aku i nā zoo a me nā kahu hānai pilikino. ʻO ke kālepa ʻana i nā holoholona i helu ʻia ma ka Manaʻo I i ka ʻAha Kūkākūkā CITES e hōʻike ana i ka pāpā piha loa ʻana i ka lawe mai a i ʻole ka lawe ʻana aku i kahi ʻano ʻaneʻane pau. Eia nō naʻe, ma muli o ke kūlana maikaʻi ʻole o ka nohona waiwai ma Madagascar, mālama ʻole ʻia nā kānāwai he nui. Ke emi nei ka helu o nā kuhukukū lilelile i ka helu catastrophic a hiki ke alakaʻi i ka pau ʻana o nā laha i ka nahelehele.
He ʻano lūlū ka honu hoʻomālamalama ma lalo o ke Kānāwai Malaka ma waena o ka ʻāina, he mahele kūikawā kēia ʻano ma ka Convention Conservation ʻApelika 1968, a mai ka makahiki 1975 i helu ʻia ai i ka Appendix I o ka CITES Convention, kahi e hāʻawi ai i kēia ʻano i ke kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe loa o ka pale.
Ma ka papa inoa ʻulaʻula o IUCN, hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka honu kukuna me he mea lā ʻaneʻane make.
I ʻAukake 2005, i kahi hālāwai ākea ākea, ua hōʻike ʻia ka wānana weliweli me ka ʻole o ke komo koke a koʻikoʻi o ke kanaka, e nalowale paha nā lāhui honu mai ka hihiu i hoʻokahi hanauna, a i ʻole 45 mau makahiki. Ua hāpai ʻia kahi papahana kūikawā me nā ana e pono ai ke mālama ʻia no nā kuhukukū ʻulaʻula. Hoʻopili pū ia me nā koho lehulehu o ka lehulehu, ka hoʻonaʻauao kaiāulu a me ka nānā ʻana i nā kālepa holoholona honua.
ʻEhā mau wahi pale a ʻekolu mau pūnaewele hou aʻe: Tsimanampetsotsa - 43,200 ha National Park, Besan Mahafali - 67,568 ha mālama kūikawā, Cap Saint-Marie - 1,750 ha mālama kūikawā, Andohahela National Park - 76,020 ha a me Berenty , kahi mālama pilikino me kahi ʻāpana o 250 hectares, Hatokaliotsy - 21 850 hectares, North Tulear - 12,500 hectare.
