ʻO ka lupe waha ākea (Macheiramphus alcinus) no ke kauoha ʻo Falconiformes.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o kahi lūlū waha ākea
ʻO ka lūlū waha ākea ka nui o 51 knm, kahi ʻēheu o 95 a 120 cm. Ke kaupaona - 600-650 gram.
He manu waena o ka manu lele me ka ʻēheu lōʻihi a ʻoi loa e like me ka falcon i ka lele ʻana. ʻO kona mau maka melemele nunui e like me ka pueo, a ʻo kona waha ākea he ʻano atypical maoli no ka mea ʻaihue hulu. ʻO kēia mau ʻano ʻelua he mea nui no ka huli holoholona i ke ahiahi. ʻO ka hulu o ka lupe ākea a pouli ka hapa nui. ʻOiai inā ʻoe e nānā pono, ʻike ʻole ʻia nā kikoʻī he nui i ka pena ʻana i ka pouli hapa, kahi āna e makemake ai e peʻe. I kēia hihia, ʻike maka ʻia kahi kuʻemaka keʻokeʻo liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao luna o ka maka.
ʻO ka puʻu, ka umauma, ʻōpū me nā kiko keʻokeʻo, ʻaʻole ʻike maopopo mau ʻia, akā aia mau.
Hāpai ka hope o ka ʻāʻī i kahi kiko pōkole, i ʻike ʻia i ke kau moʻo. ʻImi iki ka nuku no kahi manu o kēia nui. Lōʻihi a lahilahi nā wāwae a me nā wāwae. Pihikiha loa nā māiʻuʻu āpau. ʻO ka wahine a me ke kāne ke nānā aku. ʻOi aku ka pouli o ke ʻano o nā manu ʻōpio ma mua o nā mākua. Hoʻohui ʻia nā ʻāpana o lalo me ke keʻokeʻo. ʻO ka lupe ākea ākea ʻekolu mau lālā, i ʻike ʻia e ka nui o ka pouli a i ʻole ke kala o ka plumage a me nā aka keʻokeʻo ma ka umauma.
Nā wahi noho o ka lupe ākea
Uhi ka laulā o nā ʻano i nā wahi ākea a hiki i 2000 mau mika, e pili pū ana me nā ululāʻau, nā ululāʻau hoʻohaʻahaʻa, nā māla ulu kokoke i nā wahi noho a me nā laʻalāʻau maloʻo ʻole. Hoʻoholo ʻia ke ʻano o nā manu manu lele e ka hiki ʻana o kahi mea lele lele, i loko o nā ʻōpeʻapeʻa kikoʻī, e ʻeleu ana i ka wā ahiahi.
Makemake nā kime ākea ākea i nā ululāʻau paʻa me nā lāʻau deciduous e ulu nui ana.
Loaʻa lākou i nā wahi me nā lepo calcareous a hiki ke noho i nā savannas i nā wahi maloʻo loa kahi o nā ʻōpeʻapeʻa a me nā kumulāʻau. I ke ao, kau wale nā mea ʻimi hulu i nā kumulāʻau lau nui. I ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai, komo lākou i loko o nā kūlanakauhale.
Pāhola aku ka lupe moʻo waha ākea
Hoʻolahalaha ʻia nā lī ākea ma nā ʻāina ʻelua:
- ma ʻApelika;
- ma Asia.
Ma ʻApelika, noho lākou ma ka hema o ka Sahara ma Senegal, Kenya, Transvaal, ma ka ʻākau o Namibia. Aia nā panalāʻau Āsia me ka Malacca Peninsula a me nā mokupuni ʻo Greater Sunda. Eia kekahi ma ka hikina hema o Papua New Guinea. ʻEkolu ʻāpana i ʻike ʻae ʻia:
- Ua hōʻike ʻo Mr. Hoʻolahalaha ʻia ʻo Alcinus ma ka hema o Burma, ke komohana o Thailand, ka Peninsula Malay, Sumatra, Borneo a me Sulawesi.
- M. a. papuanus - ma Nūkini Hou
- Loaʻa ʻo M. andersonii ma ʻApelika mai Senegal a me Gambia a hiki i ʻAitiopa i ka hema a hiki i ʻApelika Hema, a ʻo Madagascar pū kekahi.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ka hana a kahi lūlū waha ākea
ʻO ka lupe ākea ākea ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he karnivora hulu manuahi loa, akā ʻoi aku ka laulā ma mua o ka mea i manaʻoʻiʻo ʻia. ʻAi ka hapanui i ka wā ahiahi, akā e huli hoʻi i ka mahina. ʻAno paʻakikī loa kēia ʻano lelo e lele a huli i ka lā. ʻO ka pinepine, i nā hola o ke ao, peʻe ʻo ia i ka lau nahele o nā lāʻau kiʻekiʻe. Me ka hoʻomaka o ke ahiahi, heʻe wikiwiki ʻo ia mai nā kumu lāʻau a lele e like me ka falcon. Ke ʻimi ʻo ia, loaʻa koke ʻo ia i kāna mea pio.
Hana nui kēia ʻano manu lele i ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā. I ka lā, hiamoe nā kites ākea ākea ma kahi ākea a ala aʻe i 30 mau minuke ma mua o ka hoʻomaka o ka ʻimi. Lawe ʻia ka mea pio no 20 mau minuke i ke ahiahi, akā e ʻimi kekahi manu i ka wanaʻao a i ʻole i ka pō ke ʻike ʻia nā ʻōpeʻapeʻa ma kahi o nā kumuwaiwai kukui a i ʻole i ka mahina.
ʻO nā līlū uha ākea e mākaʻikaʻi i ka wahi kokoke i kā lākou perch a i ʻole kokoke i kahi wai.
Hopu lākou i ka lele a ale iā ia āpau. I kekahi manawa e ʻimi holoholona hulu nā manu ma ka lele ʻana i kahi lālā lāʻau. Lālau lākou i kā lākou mea pio me nā māiʻuʻu ʻoi o ka lele ʻana a moni koke i ko lākou waha ākea. ʻOiai ʻo nā manu liʻiliʻi e paheʻe maʻalahi i ka ʻāʻī o kahi ʻānohu hulu. Eia nō naʻe, lawe ka lupe ākea i nā mea nui i ka moa a ʻai ma laila. Hoʻopau ʻia kahi ʻōpeʻapeʻa ma kahi o 6 kekona.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana o ka lupe waha ākea
ʻAi nā kites ākea i nā opeapea. I ke ahiahi hopu lākou ma kahi o 17 mau kānaka, he 20-75 g ke kaumaha o kēlā me kēia. Hualu pū kekahi lākou i nā manu, e like me nā mea e pūnana ana i nā ana manuahi ma Malaysia a me Indonesia, a me nā lewa, nā ale, nā moe pō a me nā mea kolo nui. ʻIke nā līlū hāhā ākea i kā lākou mea pio ma kapa o nā muliwai a me nā kino wai ʻē aʻe, makemake i nā wahi ākea. Hoʻopau pū nā manu lele i nā mea kolo liʻiliʻi.
I nā wahi i hoʻomālamalama ʻia e nā ipukukui a me nā kukui o nā kaʻa, loaʻa iā lākou ka meaʻai i nā kaona a me nā kūlanakauhale. Inā ʻaʻole i kūleʻa ka ʻimi holoholona, hana ʻo ka predator hulu i kahi hoʻomaha pōkole ma mua o ka hoʻāʻo hou ʻana e hopu i kahi mea pio. Pālū mālie kona mau ʻeheu lōʻihi e like me ka pueo, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ke pūʻiwa ke hoʻouka.
ʻO ka lupe waha ākea
Hoʻolahalaha nā kipi ākea i ʻApelila ma Gabon, i Malaki a ʻOkakopa-Nowemapa ma Sierra Leone, i ʻApelila-Iune a ʻOkakopa i East Africa, i Mei ma ʻApelika Hema. Kūkulu nā manu lele i kahi pūnana ma luna o kahi kumulāʻau nui. He paepae ākea ia i kūkulu ʻia i nā lālā liʻiliʻi me nā lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Aia ka pūnana ma kahi ohe a i ʻole ma ka ʻaoʻao o waho o nā kumu lāʻau e like me baobab a i ʻole eucalyptus.
ʻO ka pinepine, pūnana nā manu ma kahi hoʻokahi no nā makahiki he nui.
Aia kekahi mau hihia i ʻike ʻia o ka pūnana i nā lāʻau ma ke kūlanakauhale kahi e noho ai nā ʻōpeʻapeʻa. Hoʻomoe ka wahine i nā hua hua ʻeleʻele 1 a ʻelua paha, i kekahi manawa me ka poni ʻulaʻula a i ʻole nā kiko ʻalani ma ka welau ākea. Hoʻokomo nā manu ʻelua i ka paʻa no 48 mau lā. ʻIke ʻia nā chicks me ka fluff keʻokeʻo. ʻAʻole lākou e haʻalele i ka pūnana ma kahi o 67 mau lā. Hānai ʻia nā keiki e ka wahine a me ke kāne.
ʻO ke kūlana mālama o ka lupe Broadmouth
ʻO ka nui o nā kites ākea ākea he paʻakikī e hoʻoholo ma muli o ke ʻano o ka pō a me ka maʻamau o ka hūnā ʻana i nā lau nahele i ka lā. ʻIke pinepine ʻia kēia ʻano manu lele ma ke ʻano he liʻiliʻi. Ma ʻApelika Hema, he haʻahaʻa kona kiʻekiʻe, noho kekahi i kahi ʻona o 450 kilomika kilomika. I nā tropika a ʻo nā kūlanakauhale nō hoʻi, ʻo ka lupe ākea ka waha ʻoi aku ka maʻamau. ʻO ka hoʻoweliweli nui i ka noho ʻana o nā laha e hōʻike ʻia e nā mana kūwaho, ʻoiai nā pūnana i luna o nā lālā ʻoi loa e luku ʻia i ka makani ikaika. ʻAʻole i wehewehe ʻia ka hopena o nā pesticides.
Lohe ʻia ka lupe ākea me he ʻano laha lā me nā hoʻoweliweli liʻiliʻi.
