ʻO nā mea kanu laumania (Opheodrys vernalis) pili i ka ʻohana o kahi ʻano like, hehi squamous.
E hohola ana i ka nahesa nāhelehe laumania.
Loaʻa ka nahesa laumania ma ka ʻākau hikina o Kanada. ʻO kēia ʻano laha ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me ka hema o Kanada, aia kahi noho kaʻawale i ka ʻākau o Mekiko. Hoʻonui ʻia kona pae mai Nova Scotia ma ke komohana a hiki i ka hema o Kanada a me Hikina Hema Saskatchewan. ʻO ka laulā e pili ana i ka hema a me ke komohana o Northern New Jersey, Maryland komohana, Virginia, Ohio, Northwestern Indiana, ʻIlika, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Chihuahua (Mexico), a me Utah. A noho ka poʻe helelei loa i ka Hikina Hema Texas i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Hoʻomaha nui kēia i nā ʻāina komohana āpau. ʻIke ʻia nā heluna lehulehu ma nā wahi o ke komohana o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e like me Wyoming, New Mexico, Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, Texas, a me Mekiko ʻākau.
ʻO ka nohona o ka nahesa nāhelehe laumania.
ʻIke ʻia nā moʻo nāhelehele laumania ma nā wahi momona i waiwai i nā lau nahele, ma nā pā, nā wahi hānai, nā kula, nā wahi pohō a me nā loko. Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou i nā ulu lāʻau ākea. ʻO ka manawa pinepine aia lākou ma ka honua a piʻi paha i nā kumu lāʻau haʻahaʻa. Pulu nā nahesa nāhelehe i ka lā a hūnā paha ma lalo o nā pōhaku, nā lāʻau a me nā ʻōpala ʻē aʻe.
ʻO nā wahi noho o kēia ʻano pū kekahi me nā bogs mauʻu, nā māno mauʻu ma nā palena o ka ululāʻau, nā wahi me nā puʻu mauna, nā palena o ke kahawai, nā ululāʻau pulu, nā ʻāina haʻalele, nā wao akua. I ka wā hibernation, piʻi kēia mau moʻo i loko o nā anthills i haʻalele ʻia.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi nahesa mauʻu laumania.
He nani a mālohilohi hoʻi ke kino luna o luna o ka Maʻa Mauu. Kāmele maikaʻi kēia kala iā ia i nā wahi lau nahele. ʻOi aku ke ākea o ke poʻo ma mua o ka ʻāʻī, ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma luna a keʻokeʻo ma lalo. Keʻokeʻo ka ʻōpū i melemele melemele. ʻO ka manawa he mau moʻo nahesa. Pāleʻa nā unahi o ka ʻili. Loaʻa ka lōʻihi o ke kino mai 30 a 66 cm. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine, akā ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka huelo. ʻO nā moʻo nahesa hou he 8.3 a 16.5 cm ka lōʻihi a lilo i mea haʻahaʻa ma mua o nā mākua, pinepine ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻoliva a hina hina i ke kala. He nahesa maikaʻi ʻole nā nāhesa nāhelehe lahilahi, ʻaʻole lākou he mea ʻawahia.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana i ka nahesa mauʻu laumania.
ʻO nā moʻo nahesa nāhelehe i ka puna a me ke kau wela. Hāpai lākou i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Hoʻomoe nā wahine mai Iune a Kepakemapa 3 a 13 mau hua paukū paukū i nā lua pāpaʻu, i nā mea kanu pala, a i ʻole ma lalo o nā lāʻau a me nā pōhaku. I kekahi manawa hoʻomoe nā wahine i nā hua i hoʻokahi pūnana i ka manawa hoʻokahi. Hōʻike nā ʻōpala i ʻAukake a Kepakemapa paha. Kū ka hoʻolālā mai 4 a 30 mau lā. ʻO kēia hiʻohiʻona ma muli o ka hiki i nā wahine ke hoʻonāukiuki i ka ulu ʻana o nā embryos ʻoiai lākou i loko o ko lākou kino. Loaʻa i ka hoʻomohala wikiwiki no ka mea hiki i nā wahine ke mālama i ka mahana kūpono no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hua manu, no laila e hōʻoia ana i ke ola o nā embryos. ʻAʻole mālama nā nahesa nāhelehe i nā keiki. Hāpai nā moʻo ʻōpiopio i ka makahiki ʻelua o ke ola.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ke ola o nā nāhesa nāhelehe laumania i ke ʻano. I ka noho pio ʻana, ola lākou a ʻeono mau makahiki.
Ke ʻano o ka nahesa nāhelehe laumania.
Ke hana nei nā moʻo nahesa maʻa mai ʻApelila a ʻOkakopa a me ka hapa nui mehameha. I ka hoʻoilo, hibernate lākou i nā hui me nā moʻo ʻē aʻe, me nā ʻano nāhesa ʻē aʻe. Aia nā pūnaewele hibernation i nā anthills a me nā lua i haʻalele ʻia e nā koʻokoʻo. Hoʻoikaika nui nā nahesa nāhelehe i ka lā, ʻoiai lākou e ʻimi hihiu nei i ke kakahiaka a me ke ahiahi, ʻo ia hoʻi i nā wā wela.
ʻO ke kala ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo nani e hoʻonani i ka nahesa i ka hapanui o nā hihia.
Wikiwiki a wikiwiki lākou, inā holo lākou i kahi weliweli, akā nahu lākou a haʻalulu i ko lākou huelo, inā e hoʻokaumaha ʻia lākou, hana pinepine lākou i nā ʻenemi me kahi wai ʻala maikaʻi ʻole.
E like me nā nahesa ʻē aʻe, nā nahesa ʻōmaʻomaʻo lahilahi e hilinaʻi nui i ko lākou ʻano o ka pilau, ʻike maka, a me ka ʻike ʻana o ka haʻalulu e loaʻa ai nā pio. Kūkākūkā kekahi me kekahi me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hōʻailona kemika.
ʻAi i ka nahesa nāhelehe laumania.
ʻAi nui nā nahesa nāhelehele i nā mea kolo. Makemake lākou i nā ʻūhini, ʻalalā, ʻenuhe, kuhū, slug. ʻAi lākou i nā punawelewele, millipedes, a i kekahi manawa nā amphibians.
ʻO ke kuleana kaiaolaola o ka nahesa mauʻu laumania.
Loaʻa ka hopena o nā moʻo nāhesa maalea i nā heluna insect. No nā mea hōʻino: nā raccoons a me nā ʻalopeke, nā ʻaka, nā moʻo waiū, lawelawe lākou ma ke ʻano he kumu waiwai.
Ka waiwai o ka nahesa no ke kanaka.
Kōkua nā nahesa laumania i ka mālama ʻana i nā heluna o nā mea make insect kahi nui lākou. E like me ka nui o nā moʻo, he paʻakikī lākou i ka hoʻololi i ke ola i ka pio. ʻAʻohe ʻai maikaʻi nā nahesa nāhelehele a ʻaʻole noho lōʻihi.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka nahesa nāhelehe laumania.
Ke emi nei nā nahesa nāhelehe i nā helu ma nā wahi āpau a ke luku luku ʻia nei i loko o ka pae holoʻokoʻa. ʻOiai pani ʻia lākou e kahi nui loa o nā subpopulation, ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ka heluna kanaka makua, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o 100,000.
Hoʻolahalaha, wahi o ke kau ʻana, ka helu o nā hana hou ʻana a i ʻole nā subpopulation, helu paʻa paha o nā kānaka a emi iki paha (ma lalo o 10% ma luna o 10 mau makahiki a i ʻole ʻekolu mau hanauna).
Aia ma lalo o ka hoʻoweliweli ka moʻo nahesa nāhelehele o ka nalo ʻana o ka nohona a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia ʻana ma muli o nā hana a ke kanaka a me ka loli o ka nahele, akā i ka laulā ʻaʻole hoʻoweliweli maoli ʻia ka lāhui. ʻO nā kumu nui e nalowale nei nā moʻo nāhesa mai nā wahi noho ka luku noho a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pesticides. ʻO ka papaʻai nui o nā moʻo nā pepeke, i luku ʻia me nā pesticides. No laila, maʻalahi nā nahesa ʻōmaʻomaʻo maʻalahi i nā insecticides, i pīpī ākea ʻia i nā kaona kaiāulu. ʻIke ʻia kēia ʻano nahesa ma nā pāka a me nā mālama kūlohelohe. Ua helu ʻia nā moʻo nāhelehe laumania e like me ka mea liʻiliʻi loa e ka IUCN.
