Nā nahesa Spearhead (Nā ʻelua asrops asper) no ke kaʻina scaly.
Hoʻolahalaha nā nahesa ʻoheo.
ʻO ka laulā o ka hāʻawi ʻana o nā moʻo nīnū e pili ana i ke kapakai komohana o ʻAmelika Hema, ʻEkuador, Venezuela, Trinidad a ʻoi aku ma ka ʻākau i Mexico. Ma Mekiko a me ʻAmelika Waena, ʻike ʻia kēia mea kolo kolo ʻākau i ke kūkulu hema o Tamaulipas a ma ka hema ma ka hema hikina o ke Keʻena ʻo Yucatan. Noho ia i nā kahakai kahakai haʻahaʻa o ka ʻAkelanika ma Nicaragua, Costa Rica a me Panama, a ma ka ʻākau hoʻi o Guatemala a me Honduras, Peru, ma Colombia, mai ka Moana Pākīpika a i ke Kai Caribbean a hohonu a i loko o ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka nohona o nā moʻo nāhesa.
ʻIke ʻia nā nahesa Spearhead ma nā waoakua, nā ululāʻau ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo, a me ka palena o nā savannahs, akā noho pū kekahi i nā wahi ʻē aʻe, e like me nā wahi haʻahaʻa a me nā wahi mauna haʻahaʻa, nā wahi maloʻo o kekahi ulu lāʻau deciduous tropical o Mexico. Makemake lākou i nā kiʻekiʻe o ka momona, akā noho nā nahesa makua i nā wahi wao nahele, no ka mea, emi ka makaʻu o ka make wai ma mua o nā ʻōpio. ʻIke ʻia kēia ʻano moʻo o ka nahesa i nā wahi i hoʻomaʻemaʻe pinepine ʻia no nā mea kanu mahiʻai i nā ʻāina he nui. ʻIke ʻia nā nahesa Spearhead e piʻi lāʻau. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ke kiʻekiʻe mai ka pae kai a i 2640 mau mika.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o nā moʻo poʻo poʻo.
Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā moʻo Spearhead e ko lākou ākea, pālahalaha ke poʻo, kahi i kaʻawale loa mai ke kino.
Hiki i nā lunamakaainana o kēia laha ke kaupaona a 6 kg, a hiki ka lōʻihi mai 1.2 a 1.8 m ka lōʻihi.
ʻO nā kānaka e noho ana i nā wahi maloʻo he kaumaha e pale aku i ka pohō o ka wai. Hoʻololi ka waihoʻoluʻu o nā nahesa i ka ʻāina. Alakaʻi pinepine kēia i ka huikau ma waena o nā kānaka a me nā moʻo o nā ʻano ʻē aʻe, keu hoʻi ke ʻano like lākou i ke kala, akā kū i waho me nā kiko huinahā a me nā kahawai trapezoidal. ʻO ke poʻo o ka nahesa poʻo poʻo-ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele a i ʻole ʻeleʻele i ke kala. Aia kekahi mau palapū i ke kua o ke poʻo i kekahi manawa. E like me nā botrops ʻē aʻe, hele mai nā moʻo nāhesa i nā kala like ʻole, a me nā kaha postorbital ʻokoʻa.
Ma ka ʻaoʻao ventral, melemele ka ʻili, kalima a ʻāhinahina hina, me nā kaha ʻeleʻele (mottling), hoʻonui pinepine ʻia i ka hope hope.
ʻO kaʻaoʻao dorsal he ʻoliva, hina, ʻeleʻele, ʻeleʻele hina, ʻeleʻele melemele a ʻaneʻane ʻeleʻele.
Ma ke kino, hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā huinakolu ʻeleʻele me nā kihi mālamalama, ʻokoʻa ka helu o ia mai 18 a 25. I nā wā, aia nā blotches pouli ma waena o lākou. Loaʻa i kekahi poʻe i nā laina zigzag melemele ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao o ke kino.
ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka nui o nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine. He kino mānoanoa a kaumaha ko nā wahine wahine a aneane 10 mau manawa ka nui o nā kāne. Loaʻa i nā wahine ʻōpio kahi wēlau huehue ʻeleʻele a loaʻa i nā kāne i ka huelo melemele.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana i nā nāhesa nakā.
ʻAʻole like me nā botrops he nui, ʻaʻohe nā moʻo poʻo poʻo i nā moʻo i ka wā hānau. ʻO ka manawa pinepine, pālua nā wahine me ke kāne hou aku ma mua o hoʻokahi. I ka wā o ka moena, ke hōʻike ʻia ka wahine, luliluli pinepine nā kāne i ke poʻo i kāna ʻaoʻao, kū ka wahine a lawe i kahi pā no ka moena
ʻO nā moʻo spearhead ka mea e hoʻohua nui ma nā wahi o ʻAmelika.
Hāpai lākou i ka wā ua, ka ʻano e ka nui o nā meaʻai. Hōʻiliʻili nā wahine i nā hale kūʻai momona, kahi e alakaʻi ai i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o nā homoni e hoʻoulu i ka ovulation. 6 a 8 mau mahina ma hope o ka male ʻana, 5 a 86 mau moʻo ʻōpiopio i ʻike ʻia, ke kaupaona ʻia ma waena o 6.1 a me 20.2 gram i kēlā me kēia. Ma lalo o nā kūlana maikaʻi ʻole no ka hana kope ʻana, hoʻopaneʻe ʻia ka hoʻomomona ʻana o nā hua manu, ʻoiai ke noho nei ka sperm no kahi manawa lōʻihi i ke kino o nā wahine me ka lohi o ka momona. Hiki i nā wahine ke hānau hou ma ka lōʻihi o ke kino o 110 a 120 cm i ka genital, ʻoiai nā kāne ma 99.5 cm ka nui. ʻO ke ola o ke ola mai 15 a 21 mau makahiki, e like me ka ʻike i loaʻa mai nā zoo.
ʻO ka lawena o nā moʻo nīnū.
ʻO nā nahesa Spearhead nā pō, nā mehameha mehameha. ʻAʻole lākou e hana iki i ka wā anuanu a me nā mahina maloʻo. ʻO ka mea pinepine i loaʻa ma kahi o nā kahawai a me nā kahawai, komo lākou i ka lā i ke ao a peʻe ma lalo o ka uhi o ka ululāʻau i ka pō. Piʻi nā nahesa ʻōpio i nā kumulāʻau a hōʻike i kahi piko kaulana o kā lākou huelo e lure ai i ka mea pio. Uhi nā moʻo Spearhead i kahi mamao o 1200 m i kēlā me kēia pō i ka ʻimi ʻana i nā meaʻai. I ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi mea i hōʻino ʻia, alakaʻi ʻia lākou e nā hōʻailona mai nā mea loaʻa wela i loaʻa i nā lua kūikawā.
Mea ʻai nahesa nīoi.
Huli nā nahesa Spearhead i nā mea ola like ʻole. Hoʻonohonoho lākou i ka nui o ko lākou kino a me ka ʻonaʻawahia loa ma ke ʻano he predators kūpono. ʻAi nā moʻo na nā mākua i nā māmala, nā amphibians a me nā mea kolo, nā iole, nā geckos, nā lāpaki, nā manu, nā rana a me nā crayfish hoʻi. ʻAi aku nā ʻōpio i nā moʻo liʻiliʻi a me nā kolo nui.
ʻO ke kuleana kaiaolaola o nā moʻo nakahi.
ʻO nā nahesa Spearhead kahi loulou meaʻai i nā kaiaola. Kuhi kēia ʻano mea kolo ma ke ʻano he kumu meaʻai na nā ʻano mea ʻaihue he nui, a he kuleana paha i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka nui o nā mussorans, he mea weliweli ia i nā moʻo nahesa ʻawa poʻo poʻo. ʻO nā nahesa Spearhead ka meaʻai no ka falcon ʻakaʻaka, ale wale i ka lupe, kahi manu ʻoki. Lilo lākou i poʻe pio no nā skunks, raccoons, buzzards o ke alanui. ʻAi ʻia nā moʻo ʻōpiopio e kekahi ʻano pāpaʻi a me nā nananana. ʻO nā nahesa Spearhead lākou iho nā mea nui i ka kaiaola a no laila, kaohi i ka helu o nā kamaʻāina kūloko o nā posum, ʻiole, nā moʻo, a me nā centipedes.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
ʻO nā moʻo Spearhead nā mea kolo, me nā make i ʻike ʻia mai ka nahu ʻana o kēia mau moʻo ma loko o ka pae ʻāina. Loaʻa ka hopena hemorrhagic, necrotic a me proteolytic i ka lāʻau make. Ma ke kahua o ka nahu, edema holomua, ulu a hana i ka ʻeha nehotic a hiki i ka ʻeha ʻino loa. Hāʻawi nā nahesa Spearhead i kekahi mau pono, ʻai lākou i nā ʻiole liʻiliʻi a me nā koʻokoʻo ʻē aʻe e hoʻopōʻino i nā mahiʻai.
ʻO ke kūlana mālama o nā moʻo nakahi.
Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka nahesa ihe ʻo "ke ʻano o ka hopohopo liʻiliʻi." Akā ʻo ka noho kūlanakauhale ʻana, ka wao nahele, ka hoʻohaumia a me ka ulu ʻana o ka mahiʻai ke hopena i ka liʻiliʻi o nā moʻo ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika. I kekahi mau ʻāina, hoʻokumu ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā māla hou o ke kope, maiʻa a me ka koko i ka holomua o nā lāhui. Maʻalahi hiki ke hoʻololi i ka nahesa ihe i ka loli, akā ke ʻike nei kekahi mau wahi i ka emi ʻana o nā helu, ke manaʻo nei wau no nā loli hou o ke kaiapuni a me ka nele o ka meaʻai.
