ʻO ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele (Crotalus molossus), i ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka rattlenake ʻeleʻele-ʻelele, no ke kauoha scaly.
ʻO ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o ka ʻāhiu huelo ʻeleʻele.
ʻO ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele i ʻike ʻia ma United States ma Central a me West Texas, ma ke komohana ma ka hapa hema o New Mexico, ma ʻAkau ʻAkau a me ʻAkona Komohana. Noho ma ke kula ʻo Mekiko ʻo Mesa del Sur a me Oaxaca ma Mekiko, ma nā mokupuni ʻo Tiburon a me San Esteban i ke Kai Kūʻono o Kaleponi.
ʻO ka wahi noho o ka ʻāhiu lele ʻeleʻele.
ʻO nā ʻāhi ʻeleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele kahi ʻano nahesa terestrial a noho i nā savannah, nā wao akua a me nā wahi mauna pōhaku. Loaʻa lākou iā lākou ma ke kiʻekiʻe o 300 -3750 mau mika i nā ulu lāʻau ʻoka-ʻoka a me nā muliwai. Makemake kēia ʻano i nā wahi pōhaku e wela e like me nā paia canyon a i ʻole nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi i nā ana. Ma nā wahi haʻahaʻa, e noho ana nā rattlenakes ʻeleʻele i waena o nā mānoanoa o mesquite i nā wahi hānai a me nā kahakai. ʻOi aku ka pouli o nā kānaka e noho ana ma nā kahe peleʻeleʻele ma mua o nā moʻo e noho ana i ka honua.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele.
ʻO ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele, e like me nā ʻāhiu ʻāhiu a pau, he lūlū ma ka hope o kāna huelo. ʻO ke kala o ka ʻili i kēia ʻano i ke kala mai ka ʻoliva-hina, ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka melemele māmā i ka ʻulaʻula a me ka ʻeleʻele. ʻEleʻele loa ka huelo o ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele. Hōʻike pū kekahi i kahi ʻāpana pouli ma waena o nā maka a me kahi kaha diagonal ʻeleʻele e holo ana mai ka maka a i ke kihi o ka waha. ʻO kahi moʻo o nā apo kū i ka pouli e holo i ka lōʻihi holoʻokoʻa o ke kino.
ʻOi aku ka nui o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne me nā huelo mānoanoa. Keala ikaika nā unahi. ʻEhā mau ʻāpana ʻē aʻe i ʻike ʻia o nā ʻāole ʻeleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele: ʻalalā ʻalalā.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele.
I ka wā hānau, ʻike nā kāne o ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele i nā wahine e nā pheromones. Hana ʻia ka male ʻana ma luna o nā pōhaku a i ʻole nā mea kanu haʻahaʻa, a laila noho ke kāne me ka wahine e pale aku iā ia mai nā kāne ʻē aʻe.
ʻAʻohe liʻiliʻi loa ka ʻike e pili ana i ke ʻano hānau o kēia ʻano. ʻO nā ʻāhi ʻeleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele he ʻano ovoviviparous. Hānau pinepine lākou i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki i ka puna. Hōʻike nā nahesa ʻōpio i Iulai a ʻAukake. Noho lākou me ko lākou makuahine no kekahi mau hola wale nō, a i ka palena o ka lā. I ka wā e ulu ana, hoʻokahe nā ʻāole ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele i ko lākou ʻili 2-4 mau manawa, i kēlā me kēia manawa ke loli ka uhi kahiko, ʻike ʻia kahi ʻāpana hou ma ka huelo o ka rattle. Ke lilo nā moʻo i nā mākua, hoʻoheheʻe lākou i kekahi manawa, akā kū ka nakeke a ulu a hoʻomaka nā lālā kahiko e hāʻule. ʻAʻole mālama nā ʻāhi ʻeleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele i kā lākou keiki. ʻAʻole maopopo ia i ka makahiki hea e hoʻomaka ai nā kāne e hānau. ʻO ka awelika ke ola o nā ʻāhiu ʻeleʻele huelo he 17.5 mau makahiki, ma ka noho pio ʻana he 20.7 mau makahiki.
ʻO ka hana a ka ʻāhiu lele ʻeleʻele.
Hoʻomaʻamaʻa nā ʻeleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele i ka honua i ka wā anuanu o ke kau anuanu ma lalo o ka pae pae i nā lua a i nā ʻalā pōhaku. E lilo i mea hana ke piʻi aʻe ka mahana. Kūleʻa lākou i ka wā kauwela a me ke kauwela, akā hoʻololi lākou i ka hana nocturnal i nā mahina kauwela ma muli o ke kiʻekiʻe o nā mahana i ke ao. ʻO nā ʻāleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele e neʻe i kahi neʻe ʻana i nā nalu ākea a i ʻole i kahi laina pololei, e hilinaʻi ana i ke ʻano o ka ʻili e hele ʻia. Hiki iā lākou ke piʻi i nā kumulāʻau i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 2.5-2.7 mau mika a ʻauʻau wikiwiki i ka wai.
ʻOi aku nā ʻiole ʻeleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele e hiamoe ma luna o ka honua i nā lālā o nā kumu lāʻau a i ʻole nā lāʻau. Ma hope o ka ua anu, maʻa mau lākou i ka pōhaku.
Hoʻohana nā lūlū huelo ʻeleʻele i ko lākou alelo, ʻo ia ka lālā o ka pilau a me ka ʻono. Hoʻohana ʻia ʻelua mau lua, aia ma ka labial mua o ke poʻo, e ʻike ai i ka wela i hoʻoili ʻia mai ka mea pio e ola ai. ʻAʻole hiki i ka hiki ke ʻike i ka wela ke kaupalena i ka hana o kēlā me kēia lā nāhesa.

Ke kū nei i nā mea hōkai, hoʻohana ʻia nā hana ʻekolu e hoʻoweliweli iā lākou. ʻO ka mea mua, hoʻohana nā rattlenakes huelo ʻeleʻele i kā lākou huelo huelo e hoʻoweliweli i ko lākou ʻenemi. Inā ʻaʻole holo pono kēlā, ʻūʻū lākou me ka leo nui a lele koke i ko lākou mau alelo i ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka nalu. Eia kekahi, ke hoʻokokoke aku kahi mea ʻino, puff lākou a paʻakikī e nānā i ka nui loa. ʻIke nā lūlū huelo ʻeleʻele i nā haʻalulu liʻiliʻi o ka ʻili o ka honua a hoʻoholo i ka hoʻokokoke ʻana o kahi mea ʻaihue a mea pio paha.
ʻO ka hānai ʻana i ka ʻāhiu huelo ʻeleʻele.
ʻO nā rattlenakes huelo ʻeleʻele i nā predators. ʻAi lākou i nā moʻo liʻiliʻi, nā manu, nā koʻokoʻo, a me nā ʻano ʻano mamele liʻiliʻi. Ke ʻimi nei i kahi pio, hoʻohana nā ʻāole i nā huelo ʻeleʻele i nā mea wela i ko lākou mau poʻo e ʻike i ka wela wela a hoʻopili i ko lākou mau alelo e ʻike i ka ʻala. Mālama ʻia ka mea pio e nā canine hollow ʻelua i hūnā ʻia i mua o ka iwi ā luna. Ma hope o ke komo ʻana o nā niho i ke kino o ka mea i hōʻeha ʻia, hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi lāʻau make make mai nā gland ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao o ke poʻo.
He manaʻo no ke kanaka.
Hōʻike ʻia nā ʻāhiu huelo ʻeleʻele i nā zoo a me nā hōʻiliʻili pilikino. Hoʻohana ʻia ka mea ʻona o nā rattlesnakes i ka noiʻi ʻepekema, kahi e loaʻa ai iā lākou kahi lāʻau hoʻōla no nā nahu o nā ʻano moʻo ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻohana ʻia ka aila nāhesa i loko o ka lāʻau lāhui ma ke ʻano he lāʻau e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ka pehu ʻana a hoʻomāmā i ka ʻeha mai nā ʻeha a me nā sprains.
Hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻili maka o ka rattlesnake e hana i nā mea ʻili e like me nā kāʻei, nā ʻeke, nā kāmaʻa a me nā ʻeke. ʻAi nā ʻāhi ʻeleʻele huelo ʻeleʻele i nā koʻokoʻo a me ka mālama ʻana i nā lāhui i hiki ke luku i nā mea kanu a me nā mea kanu.
ʻO kēia ʻano moʻo, e like me nā ʻāhiu ʻē aʻe, nahu pinepine i nā holoholona a me nā kānaka. ʻOiai ʻo ka lāʻau ʻawaʻawa huelo ʻeleʻele he mea ʻona maikaʻi ia e nā kūlana ʻino no nā mea ʻawaʻawa ʻē aʻe, hiki iā ia ke alakaʻi i ka lāʻau make a make paha i nā keiki ʻōpio a i ʻole nā ʻelemākule. Hoʻokumu ka lāʻau make i nā hemorrhages i nā manawa he nui, a me ke ʻano o kekahi mau ʻōuli o ka nahu: edema, thrombositopenia. ʻO ka mālama maʻamau no nā mea nahu ʻia ka lawelawe ʻana o antivenom.
ʻO ke kūlana mālama o ka rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele.
ʻO ke rattlenake huelo ʻeleʻele ke kūlana o ka lāʻano o ka hopohopo liʻiliʻi. Eia nō naʻe, ma muli o ka luku kūpono ʻole o nā moʻo nahesa, pono e hana ʻia i mea e paʻa ai ka wā e hiki mai ana no kēia laha.
