ʻO ka ʻāpala ʻeleʻele ʻApelika (Anas sparsa) no ka ʻohana duck, ke kauoha Anseriformes.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka ʻāpule ʻeleʻele ʻApelika
ʻO ka ʻāpala ʻeleʻele ʻApelika kahi kino o 58 cm, ke kaupaona: 760 - 1077 gram.
ʻO ka plumage i ka plumage hoʻoulu a ma waho o ka wā hānau he ʻane like. I nā pēpē makua, ʻeleʻele nā ʻaoʻao luna o ke kino. Kū nā ākea o kahi aniani melemele i ka hope a me ka hapa o ka ʻōpū. I kekahi manawa hoʻonani kahi lei wili keʻokeʻo i ka umauma o luna. ʻEleʻele ka huelo. Ua keʻokeʻo nā hulu o nā kula kiʻekiʻe a me nā sus-tail.
ʻEʻeleʻele ke kino holoʻokoʻa, me nā kaha keʻokeʻo a me ka melemele. ʻO nā hulu uhi ʻēheu ke ʻano like me ke kua, koe wale no nā hulu uhi nui, nona ka ākea o ke keʻokeʻo, a ʻo nā hulu ʻēheu lua he ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo me ka sheen metallic. Ma lalo o nā ʻeheu ʻeleʻele me nā ʻōlelo keʻokeʻo. Keʻokeʻo nā wahi underarm. ʻEʻeleʻele loa ka hulu o ka huelo.
Heʻeleʻele ko ka wahine, aneane ʻeleʻele i ka male kāne. Heʻuʻuku ka nui o ka pato, ʻike nui ʻia kēia ke hana nā manu i kahi pālua. ʻO ka uhi hulu o nā ʻāpō ʻōpiopio ka like o ke kala me nā manu o nā mākua, akā ʻoi aku ka ʻokoʻa o nā kaha ma ke kāʻei brown. Keʻokeʻo ka ʻōpū, ʻike ʻia nā liʻiliʻi o nā kiko ma ka luna, a i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole lākou. Nā pā melemele ma ka huelo. Luʻu ke aniani. Paler nā hulu uhi nui.
ʻOkoʻa ke kala o nā wāwae a me nā wāwae mai ka brownish brown, brown, orange. ʻEleʻeleʻeleʻele o Iris. I nā kānaka o nā subspecies A. s. sparsa, pila hina-hina, ʻeleʻele hapa. He nuku ʻulaʻula kā nā duck A. s leucostigma me kahi kapu a me nā culmen pouli. He nuku ʻeleʻele nā ʻāpana A. s maclatchyi, koe wale no kona kumu.
ʻO nā wahi noho o ka ʻāpō ʻApelika ʻeleʻele
Makemake nā ʻāpala ʻApelika ʻeleʻele i nā kahawai pāpaʻu e kahe koke.
ʻAʻau lākou i ka wai a hoʻomaha i nā pali pōhaku aia ma nā wahi ulu lāʻau a me nā mauna nui. Noho kēia ʻano pato i nā wahi noho a hiki i 4250 mau mika ma luna o kaʻilikai. ʻIke nā manu i nā ʻano ʻāina ākea, maloʻo a pulu hoʻi. Noho lākou ma kahakai o nā loko, nā lokowai a me nā waha o nā kahawai me nā waihona one. ʻIke ʻia lākou i nā kahawai e kahe mālie a lana i nā backwaters. Ua kipa aku nā ʻāpana ʻEleʻele ʻApelika i ka mea kanu mālama wai neoneo.
I ka wā o ka moulting, ke lele ʻole nā ʻāpō, ʻike lākou i nā kihi mehameha me nā mea kanu nunui ʻaʻole mamao loa mai nā wahi hānai, a hoʻomau i ke kahakai, ulu nui me nā nāhelehele, kahi e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe kahi e puʻuhonua ai.
Ua pālahalaha aku ka ʻāpala ʻApelika ʻeleʻele
Hoʻolālā ʻia nā ʻāpana ʻeleʻele ʻApelika i ka ʻāina ʻApelika hema o ka Sahara. Uhi kā lākou panalāʻau o ka hāʻawi ʻana iā Nigeria, Cameroon a me Gabon. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole i kēia ʻano pato i ka hapa nui o nā ululāʻau ma ʻApelika Waena a ma nā wahi maloʻo o ke komohana hema o ka moku a me Angola. Hoʻolahalaha nui ʻia nā ʻāpana ʻEleʻele ʻApelika ma ʻApelika Hikina a me ʻApelika hema. Loaʻa lākou iā lākou mai ʻAitiopa a me Sudan a i ke Cape o Hope Manaʻo. Noho lākou ma Uganda, Kenya a me Zaire.
ʻEkolu ʻāpana i ʻike ʻae ʻia:
- Hoʻolahalaha ʻia ʻo A. sparsa (nā inoa inoa inoa) ma ka hema o ʻApelika, Zambia a me Mozambique.
- Hoʻolahalaha ʻia ʻo A. leucostigma ma ke koena o ka ʻāina, a koe ʻo Gabon.
- Noho nā subspecies A. maclatchyi i nā ululāʻau haʻahaʻa o Gabon a me Cameroon hema.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano o ka ʻāpule ʻApelika ʻeleʻele
ʻAneʻane noho mau ʻanakika ʻApelika ʻElua i mau pālua a ʻohana paha. E like me ka nui o nā duck muliwai ma ka muliwai, he pilina ikaika loa ko lākou, noho pū nā hoa no kekahi manawa lōʻihi.
ʻAi nui nā ʻāpala ʻApelika ʻeleu i ke kakahiaka a me ke ahiahi. Lilo ka lā holoʻokoʻa i ka malu o nā mea kanu i ka wai. Loaʻa lākou i ka meaʻai maʻamau no nā lunamaka o duck, ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka wai, e waiho ana i ke kua o ke kino a me ka huelo ma ka ʻili, a hoʻokomo ʻia ko lākou poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī ma lalo o ka wai. Kū pinepine pinepine ia e luʻu.
He manu hilahila loa nā peʻa ʻĀlika ʻApelika a makemake ʻo ia e noho me ka neʻe ʻole ma kahakai a holo wikiwiki i ka wai ke hoʻokokoke aku kahi kanaka.
Pāpaka ʻeleʻele ʻApelika ʻē aʻe
ʻOkoʻa ka manawa hānau ma nā ʻāpana ʻeleʻele ʻApelika i nā wā like ʻole e pili ana i ka ʻāina.
- mai Iulai a Kekemapa i ka moku ʻo Cape,
- mai Mei a ʻAukake i Zambia,
- i Ianuali-Iulai i ʻAitiopa.
ʻAʻole like me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe o nā duck ʻApelika, pūnana lākou i ka wā maloʻo, malia paha noho lākou i nā kahawai o nā kahawai nui, ke kū nei nā kahawai kahawai nui. I nā hihia āpau, aia ka pūnana ma ka ʻāina i ka mauʻu a i ʻole kahi mokupuni ʻokoʻa i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā lālā lana, nā kumu, a holoi ʻia i uka e ka au. I kekahi manawa hoʻonohonoho nā manu i nā pūnana i nā kumulāʻau i kahi kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe.
Loaʻa i ka paʻa he 4 a 8 mau hua; noho wale ka wahine ma luna ona no 30 mau lā. Noho nā ʻūlū liʻiliʻi ma ka pūnaewele pūnana no nā lā he 86. I loko o kēia wā, hānai wale ka pālū i nā keiki a kalaiwa. Hoʻopau ʻia ʻo Drake mai ka mālama ʻana i nā moa.
ʻAi ʻuckpala ʻeleʻele ʻApelika
ʻO nā pēpē ʻeleʻele ʻApelika nā manu omnivorous.
Pau lākou i nā ʻano mea kanu mea kanu like ʻole. ʻAi lākou i nā mea kanu wai, nā ʻanoʻano, nā hua o nā mea kanu i mahi ʻia, nā huaʻai mai nā lāʻau terrestrial a me nā kumulāʻau e kau ana ma luna o ke au. Makemake pū lākou i nā hua mai nā genus muriers (Morus) a me nā kumulāʻau (Pryacantha). Hōʻiliʻili ʻia nā palaoa mai nā mahina ʻai i ʻohiʻohi ʻia.
Hoʻohui ʻia, hoʻopau nā ʻāpana ʻeleʻele ʻApelika i nā holoholona liʻiliʻi a me nā ʻōpala ʻokanika. Hoʻopili ka papaʻai i nā kolo a me kā lākou larvae, crustacean, tadpoles, a me nā hua a me nā ʻai i ka wā e lawaiʻa ana ka iʻa.
ʻO ke kūlana mālama o ka ʻūlū ʻeleʻele ʻApelika
Nui ʻino ka ʻāpala ʻApelika ʻeleʻele, mai 29,000 a i 70,000 mau kānaka. ʻAʻole ʻike nā manu i nā hoʻoweliweli koʻikoʻi i ko lākou wahi noho. ʻOiai ʻo ka nui o ka nohona ka nui a ʻoi aku ma mua o 9 miliona mau mika kūlike. km, ʻaʻohe o ka ʻāpala ʻApelika ʻeleʻele i nā wahi āpau, no ka mea, ua kāohi a hūnā ʻia ka ʻano teritori o kēia ʻano, a no laila haʻahaʻa ka paona. ʻOi aku ka maʻamau o ka ʻāpiki ʻApelika ʻĀkau ma ka hema o ʻApelika.
Loaʻa i ka laha kahi waeʻano me nā hoʻoweliweli liʻiliʻi loa i kāna nui. I kēia manawa, hopohopo ka wao nahele, kahi e hoʻopili ai i ka hana hou ʻana o kekahi mau hui o kēlā me kēia.
