ʻO ka Congolese snake-eater (Circaetus spectabilis) no ke kauoha ʻo Falconiformes. ʻO nā noiʻi hou e pili ana i ka hōʻuluʻulu DNA i ʻae ʻia e pohō i ka pili ʻauhau o kēia ʻano a waiho i ka genus Circaetus.
Nā hōʻailona kūwaho o ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
ʻO ka aeto kolo kolo kahi manu liʻiliʻi o ka manu. ʻO ka hulu o nā manu makua ʻeleʻele i ka kala. Holo kahi kaula ʻeleʻele lōʻihi, palaki iki i ka nuku ma nā papalina. Hele i lalo kahi laina ʻeleʻele ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka hapa luna o ke kino he ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele, koe wale nō ka pāpale, he ʻeleʻele i ke kala a me ke kola, a he ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula i ke kala. Keokeo loa ka lalo. Pōkole nā ʻeheu, me nā wēlau weluwelu. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka huelo. Hoʻokiʻekiʻe iki ʻia nā hulu ma luna o ka lei aliʻi, e like me ka piko liʻiliʻi.
- I nā ʻāpana ʻohana D. s. Hoʻomaopopo ʻia nā hulu o Spectabilis e nā māka ʻeleʻele he nui a me nā kaha.
- I kēlā me kēia kanaka o nā ʻāpana D. batesi, kau ʻia nā māka keʻokeʻo ma nā ʻūhā.
ʻAʻole like me ka nui o nā manu lele, he kāne nui aʻe ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese ma mua o ka wahine. He maka ko nā manu mākua me nā ʻākena ʻeleʻele a hina hoʻi. Melemele nā wāwae a me nā wax. Uhi ʻia nā mea ʻai nahesa ʻōpio Congolese me ka plumage monochromatic, me ka ʻole o nā kaha keʻokeʻo. Uhi ʻia nā ʻaoʻao lalo o ke kino me nā kiko pōʻai liʻiliʻi o ke kala ʻeleʻele a ʻulaʻula.
Hiki ke huikau ka aeto nahesa Kongo me ʻelua mau lālā ʻohana o ka ʻohana e noho pū ana ma Central a me West Africa: ka aeto Cassin (Spizaetus africanus) a me Urotriorchis macrourus. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka laha mua e kona kumukānāwai, ʻoi aku ka manoanoa me kahi poʻo liʻiliʻi, ka huelo pōkole a me ke kala o ka plumage o nā ʻūhā i ke ʻano o ka "pants". ʻO ka lua o ka laha ma mua o ka Congolese serpentine, a lōʻihi loa kona huelo me ka piko keʻokeʻo, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka huelo ma kahi o ka hapalua o ka lōʻihi o kona kino.
Nā wahi noho o ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
Noho ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese i nā ululāʻau mānoanoa pinepine ma nā pāpū, kahi e peʻe ai i nā kalaunu malumalu. Eia nō naʻe, noho maʻalahi ia i nā wahi e hana ana i ka regeneration, i kēia manawa ʻo ka hapa nui ma West Africa, ma muli o ka deforestation ikaika. Hana ʻia mai ka pae kai a i 900 mau mika.
Hoʻolahalaha o ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
ʻO ka aeto moʻo kolo ʻo Kongo kahi manu manu lele ia ma ka ʻāina ʻApelika a me nā latitude equatorial.
Hele aku kona wahi mai ka hema o Sierra Leone, Guinea a me Liberia, ma ka hema a hiki i Côte dʻIvoire a me Ghana. A laila keʻakeʻa ʻia ka pae ma ka palena me Togo a me Benin, a hoʻomau hou aku mai Nigeria a i waho o Zaire ma o Cameroon, Gabon, ka ʻākau loa o Angola, Kongo a me ka Central African Republic. ʻĀpana ʻelua i ʻike mana ʻia:
- ʻO D. spectabilis, ʻōiwi no Sierra Leone i Cameroon ʻākau.
- Kū ʻo D. Batesi mai ka hema o Cameroon, ma ka hema a hiki i Zaire, Kongo, Gabon a me Angola.
Nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ʻano o ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
He manu huna ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese. Hoʻolilo ʻo ia i ka hapa nui o kona manawa ma nā ululāʻau malumalu, kahi e ʻike ai kona mau maka nunui a me kona mau maka ʻike i ka neʻe iki ʻana me ke kukui liʻiliʻi. Noho pinepine ka mea hulu manu i ka ʻike ʻole ʻia, a hiki ke loaʻa i ka nahele e nā meow nui. Ua like kona uē me ka meow o kahi pīkake a i ʻole he pōpoki, a lohe ʻia i kahi mamao loa. Hoʻokaʻawale loa kēia leo uē nui i ka mea ʻai o ka nahesa Congolese mai nā ʻano ʻēheu'ē aʻe.
Lele ka moʻo nahesa kolo Congolese ma kahi kiʻekiʻe ma luna o ka ululāʻau a i ʻole i nā aniani, akā ke kumu, hoʻomau kēia manu i ka papa waena o nā mea kanu ma ka lihi o ka ululāʻau a ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke ala. I kēia mau wahi, e ʻimi ai ka ʻaeto moʻo. Ke loaʻa ʻo ia i ka mea pio, holo ʻāwīwī ʻo ia iā ia, ʻoiai e lele ana nā lau a i ʻole nā ʻūlū o ka lepo ma nā ʻaoʻao āpau, mai kahi a ka mea i hoʻomāinoe ai. Pā paha ka predator me kona nuku a i ʻole nā hahau ʻana me nā māiʻuʻu ʻoi. ʻImi ʻo ka ʻaeto kolo Congolese i nā nahesa e lana ana i ka wai, e nānā pono ana iā lākou mai nā lāʻau e ulu ana i kahakai.
ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ʻaʻohe pili iki o ka moʻoheʻe Congolese me nā nahesa ʻē aʻe.
Ma ka ʻokoʻa, i ka helehelena a me ka lawena, ʻano like ia me ka ʻaeto Cassin (Spizaetus africanus). Kapa ʻia kēia ʻano hana he mimetic a ma ka liʻiliʻi he 3 mau pono. Mālama ka nahesa Congolese e alakaʻi hewa i nā mea kolo, a kuhi hewa iā ia no kahi manu ʻalualu aeto. Eia hou, ma ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i ke ʻano o nā ʻaeto, ʻo ia iho e hōʻalo i ka hoʻouka ʻia ʻana o nā manu nui o nā pio. A kōkua pū kekahi i ke ola ʻana i nā lunamakaʻāinana liʻiliʻi o nā passerine kauoha, ka mea e pili ana i ka mea ʻai nahesa pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe.
ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
Heʻuʻuku loa ka ʻike e pili ana i ka hana hou ʻana o ka ʻaeto moʻo kope. ʻO ka wā hānau ma ʻOkakopa a hala i Kekemapa ma Gabon. I ka Lepupalika Kemokalaka o Kongo (ʻo Zaire ma mua), hānau nā manu mai Iune a Nowemapa.
ʻO ka meaʻai a ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
ʻAi nui ka aeto moʻo kope Congolese i nā nahesa.
Hōʻike ʻia kēia ʻano pilikino o ka hoʻolauna meaʻai i ka inoa laha o ka manu hulu. Huli ʻo ia i nā mea kolo - nā moʻo a me nā chameleon. Hopu ia i nā mea māmele liʻiliʻi, akā ʻaʻole pinepine e like me nā nahesa. Ke kali nei ka hapa nui o nā mea pio i ka hoʻohālua.
Nā kumu no ka emi ʻana o ka nui o nā mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
ʻO ka hoʻoweliweli nui, kahi mea nui a koʻikoʻi no ka wahi o ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese, ʻo ia ka wao nahele nui, i mālama ʻia ma loko o ka nohona holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ke kumu o ke ʻano o nā laha ma ʻApelika Komohana. Kohu mea lā aia ia i kahi kūlana o ka hāʻule, kahi mea paʻakikī e loiloi, hāʻawi ʻia i nā peculiarities o kona wahi noho. Inā ʻaʻole e kū ka emi ʻana o ka nahele, a laila hiki i kekahi ke makaʻu no ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka nahesa Congolese.
Ke kūlana mālama o ka mea ʻai nahesa Congolese
Loaʻa ka ʻaeto moʻo kolo Congolese i nā wahi i pale ʻia ma Zaire, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i hoʻomohala ʻia kahi hana mālama pilikino. Ma hope o nā koho, ʻo ka helu o nā manu manu laka ma kahi o 10,000 mau kānaka. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia kēia ʻano ma ke ʻano "no ka hopohopo liʻiliʻi" ma muli o ka emi ʻana o ka nui o nā kānaka.
