ʻO ka hare piʻi Kepani ka hare lāʻau (Pentalagus furnessi) a i ʻole ka lāpaki amami. ʻO ia ka Pentalagus kahiko loa i ola, me nā kūpuna i ka makahiki hau i hala 30,000 a 18,000 mau makahiki i hala.
ʻO nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka hare piʻi Kepani
ʻO ka hare piʻi Kepanī kahi lōʻihi o ke kino o 45.1 cm i nā kāne a 45.2 cm i nā wahine. ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka huelo mai 2.0 a 3.5 cm i nā kāne a mai 2.5 a 3.3 cm.ʻO ka nui o ka wahine maʻamau ka nui. ʻO ke kaulike awelika mai 2.1 kg a 2.9 kg.
Uhi ʻia ka hare piʻi Kepanī me ka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻeleʻeleʻele a i ʻole ka hulu ʻeleʻele. Pōkole nā pepeiao - 45 mm, liʻiliʻi ka maka, nui nā māiʻuo a 20 mm ka lōʻihi. ʻO ke kumumanaʻo niho no kēia ʻano he 2/1 incisors, 0/0 canine, 3/2 premolars a me 3/3 molars, 28 mau niho i ka huina. Aia ka foramen magnum i ke ʻano o kahi liʻiliʻi, ākea oval, ʻoiai i ka hares he vertect oval a pentagonal paha.
ʻO ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka hare piʻi Kepani
Hoʻolahalaha ka hare piʻi Kepani ma kahi wahi liʻiliʻi o 335 km2 wale nō a hana i nā heluna ʻehā ʻāpana i nā wahi ʻelua:
- Amami Oshima (712 km2 ka nui o nā wahi);
- Tokuno-Shima (248 km2), ma Kagoshima Prefecture, Nansei Archipelago.
Kuhi ʻia kēia ʻano mahele ma ka mokupuni ʻo Amami me kahi ʻona o 301.4 km2 a me 33 km2 ma Tokuno. ʻO ka ʻāpana o nā mokupuni ʻelua he 960 km2, akā ma lalo o ka hapalua o kēia wahi e hāʻawi ai i kahi nohona kūpono.
Nā wahi noho o ka piʻina piʻi Kepani
Ua noho mua nā Kepani piʻi piʻi i nā ululāʻau puʻupaʻa puʻupaʻa, ke ʻole ka heleleʻi ākea ʻana. Ua hoʻemi ka nahele kahiko i ko lākou wahi e 70-90% ma 1980 ma muli o ka hopena o ke kālai lāʻau ʻana. Noho nā holoholona laha ʻole i kēia wā i nā nāhelehele kahakai o ka cycad, i nā wahi mauna me nā ulu lāʻau ʻoka, i nā ululāʻau ulu mau a me nā wahi kua ʻia kahi e mau ai ka mauʻu mau. Hana ʻia nā holoholona i ʻehā mau hui ʻokoʻa, ʻekolu o lākou e liʻiliʻi loa. Kaha ʻia lākou ma nā kiʻekiʻe mai ka ʻilikai a i 694 mika ma Amami a me 645 mika ma Tokuna.
Ke hanai nei ʻo Kepanī i ka hare ʻai
ʻO ka hare piʻi Kepani e hānai i nā ʻano he 12 o nā mea kanu lau nahele a me 17 mauʻano ulu lāʻau. Hoʻopau nui ia i nā ferns, nā acorn, nā sprouts a me nā ʻōpio o nā mea kanu. Hoʻohui, he coprophage ia a ʻai i nā feces, kahi e palupalu ai a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka fibrous ka fiber fibre.
Ke hoʻoulu nei i ka hare piʻi Kepani
Hāpai nā Kepani piʻi piʻi Kepani i nā lua i lalo o ka honua, i loaʻa mau i ka nahele nui. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ka lōʻihi o ka hāpai ʻana, akā no ka hoʻokolokolo ʻana i ka hana hou ʻana o nā ʻano mea pili, aia ma kahi o 39 mau lā. ʻElua mau ʻohana i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma Malaki - Mei a Sepatemaba - Kekemapa. Hānau ʻia hoʻokahi cub, he 15.0 knm kona lōʻihi o ke kino a me ka huelo - 0.5 cm a kaupaona he 100 mau huna. ʻO ka lōʻihi o nā wāwae i mua a i hope hoʻi he 1.5 cm a me 3.0 cm, ma ke ʻano. He ʻelua pūnana ʻokoʻa nā Kepani piʻi piʻi Kepani:
- hoʻokahi no nā hana o kēlā me kēia lā,
- ka lua o ka hope.
ʻEli nā wahine i nā lua ma kahi o hoʻokahi pule ma mua o ka hānau ʻana o kahi bipi keiki. He anawaena o ka lua o 30 kenetimika a kihi ʻia me nā lau. Haʻalele ka wahine i kekahi manawa i ka pūnana no ka lā holoʻokoʻa, ʻoiai ʻo ia e hūnā i ka puka me nā puʻupuʻu o ka lepo, nā lau a me nā lālā. Ke hoʻi nei, hāʻawi ʻo ia i kahi hōʻailona pōkole, e hoʻomaopopo ana i ka cub o kona hoʻi i ka "hole". He ʻekolu pālua o ka momona o ka wahine Kepani e piʻi piʻi ʻana i Kepani, akā ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia ka lōʻihi o ka hānai ʻana i kā lākou keiki. Ma hope o 3 a 4 mau mahina, haʻalele ka hare ʻōpio i kā lākou lua.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ka hana a ka Kepani piʻi piʻina
He pō nui nā Kepani piʻi Kepani i ka pō, e noho ana i loko o kā lākou mau lua i ke ao a hānai i ka pō, ke neʻe nei i kekahi manawa 200 mau mika mai kā lākou lua. I ka pō, neʻe pinepine lākou ma nā ala ulu lāʻau e ʻimi i nā mea kanu ʻai. Hiki i nā holoholona ke ʻauʻau. No ka noho ʻana, pono i hoʻokahi kāne i hoʻokahi kihi o 1.3 hecta, a he 1.0 mau ʻeka ka wahine. Pālua nā kāne, akā ʻaʻole pili ka wahine.
Kūkākūkā nā hares piʻi Kepani i kekahi i kekahi me nā hōʻailona leo kani a i ʻole ke kuʻi ʻana i ko lākou mau wāwae hope i ka honua.
Hāʻawi nā holoholona i nā hōʻailona inā kū mai kahi mea ʻino ma kahi kokoke, a hoʻomaopopo ka wahine i nā keiki e pili ana i kona hoʻi ʻana i ka pūnana. ʻO ka leo o ka piʻina piʻi Kepani e like me nā leo o ka pika.
Nā kumu no ka emi ʻana o ka helu o ka hare piʻi Kepani
Hoʻoweliweli ka piʻina piʻi Kepanī e nā ʻano manuka ʻaihue invasive a me ka luku nohona.
ʻO ka hoʻolauna ʻana o mongooses, ka mea e hoʻohua koke me ka loaʻa ʻole o nā mea ʻino nui, a me nā pōpoki hānai a me nā ʻīlio hoʻi ma nā mokupuni ʻelua i hopu ʻia i nā hares piʻi Kepanī.
ʻO ka luku ʻia ʻana o nā wahi noho, i ke ʻano o ke kālai lāʻau ʻana, kahi hoʻemi o nā wahi o nā ululāʻau kahiko e 10-30% o ka wahi a lākou i noho ai ma mua, pili i ka helu o nā piʻina piʻi Kepani. ʻO ke kūkulu ʻia ʻana o nā wahi hoʻoneʻe (e like me nā papa kolepa) ma ka mokupuni ʻo Amami i hāpai i ka hopohopo no ka mea hoʻoweliweli ia i ka nohona ʻano laha.
Nā hana mālama no ka piʻina piʻi Kepani
Pono ka hare piʻi Kepanī i nā hana pale kūikawā ma muli o ka palena o kona wahi kūlohelohe; he mea nui ka mālama ʻana i nā wahi noho no ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana o ka holoholona laha ʻole. No kēia, pono e kāpae i ke kūkulu ʻana o nā alanui ulu lāʻau a palena i ka ʻoki ʻana o nā ululāʻau kahiko.
Kākoʻo nā kākoʻo aupuni i ke kūkulu alanui ma nā wahi ululāʻau, akā ʻaʻole like ia mau hana i ka mālama ʻia ʻana o ka hare piʻi Kepanī. Hoʻohui ʻia, kanaonokū pākēneka o ka wahi nahele kahiko he kuleana pilikino a kūloko paha ia, me ke koena 10% nona e ke aupuni aupuni, no laila ʻaʻole hiki ke pale ʻia kēia ʻano laha i nā wahi āpau.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka piʻina piʻi Kepani
Hooweliweli ka piʻina piʻi Kepanī. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia kēia ʻano ma ka IUCN Red List, ʻoiai ke ola nei kēia holoholona laha ʻole i kahi hoʻokahi - ma ka pae moku ʻo Nancey. ʻAʻohe kūlana kūikawā ʻo Pentalagus furnessi i loko o ka Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES papa inoa).
Ua loaʻa ka hare piʻi Kepani i 1963 i ke kūlana o kahi kia hoʻomanaʻo kūikawā ma Iapana, no laila, pāpā ʻia kāna pana ʻana a me kāna hei ʻana.
Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻololi ʻia nei ka hapa nui o kona wahi e ka nāhelehele nui no ka ʻoihana pepa. Ma ke kanu ʻana i nā ululāʻau i nā wahi wīwī, hiki ke hoʻomaha ʻia kēia kaomi ma luna o nā māmela lawehala ʻole.
I kēia manawa, ka heluna kanaka, i koho wale ʻia mai nā feces wale nō, mai ka 2000 a i ka 4,800 ma ka mokupuni ʻo Amami a me 120 a i ka 300 ma ka mokupuni ʻo Tokuno. Ua hoʻomohala ʻia ka papahana mālama hare piʻi Kepani i ka makahiki 1999. Mai ka 2005, ke alakaʻi nei ke Kuhina o ke Kaiāulu i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā mongoose i mea e pale aku ai i nā hares kaka ʻole.
