He nui nā mea kū hoʻokahi a ko mākou honua honua. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, a hiki i kēia lā, ʻaʻole i noho nā holoholona āpau ma luna. Nui nā mea kupanaha e kū nei, i kēia manawa i hiki ʻole iā mākou ke ʻike ʻia, noho i ka honua ma kekahi mau mau makahiki i hala. ʻO kekahi o kēia mau mea like ka manu manu, he ʻekahi no Aotearoa. ʻO kēia nui manuahi a nui ka nui. Ma lalo ʻoe e ʻike ai i kahi wehewehe a me ke kiʻi o ka manu moa, aʻo ia hoʻi e aʻo i kahi mea hoihoi e pili ana i ia mea.

ʻO Moa a he dinornis kekahi ʻano manuahi o nā ratites. ʻO kēia mau mea kupaianaha kupanaha i noho mua i ka mokupuni o New Zealand. Nui ka moa o ka moa, ʻaʻohe ʻēheu. He mau wāwae ikaika a Dinornis a me ka ʻāʻī lōʻihi. ʻO nā hulu o lākou ka hulu o ka lauoho a he polula nui; a uhi lākou i ka kino holoʻokoʻa wale nō me nā wāwae wāwae a me ke poʻo.

Nui ka nui o ka moat, a hiki lākou i ke kiʻekiʻe o 3.5 mau mika a kaupaona paha ma kahi o 250 kg, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne. Mea nui ka manu, ua ʻai i nā hua, nā aʻa, nā wīwī a me nā lau. Me ka meaʻai, hoʻomoʻa ka dinornis i nā ʻōpala, kahi i kōkua iā lākou e kālai nei i nā meaʻai lāʻau paʻakikī. Ma ka hapanui, ʻike ka ʻepekema i ka 10 mau ʻano o ka moa a ʻaʻole lākou i nunui loa, a ʻo kekahi o nā ʻano like ka nui o ka turki nui.

Ua ulu mālie ʻo Moa, no laila ua hiki i ka nui o nā pākeke me nā makahiki he 10 wale nō. Mai ka noho ʻana o kēia mau manu me kaʻole o ka ʻāina, ua lōʻihi loa kā lākou huakaʻi helu ʻana, a lawe wale ka wahine i hoʻokahi hua o 1 hua. Ua lilo nō paha i ka wā lohi o ka hua. Hoʻokomo ka wahine i ka hua no nā mahina 3 a ʻo kēia manawa a ka kāne i hāʻawi iā ia i meaʻai. He nui ka hua moa, keʻokeʻo me ka pua ʻōmaʻomaʻo, a ʻo kona paona he 7 kg.

ʻO nā Mokupuni o Nuioka kahi wahi kupaianaha ma ka honua he mau ʻupuʻu kūikawā. Mamua o ka hiki ʻana mai o ke kanaka ma Niʻāina, ʻaʻohe ʻāina manu ʻona. He mau manu manu manu maoli nā mokupuni. Malia paha, hiki i nā kūpuna o nā moas nui ke lele, akā ma lalo o nā kūlana kūpono i ulu ai lākou, ua nalowale i kēia hiki. Noho ʻo ia nā moku nui i ka ʻaoʻao hema a me nā mokupuni. Noho lākou i nā kolone ma nā pālima, nā nahele ulu a me nā kumu lāʻau.

I ka makahiki 13, ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻōiwi Maori i Aotearoa, a ua hoʻomaka i ka ʻimi he moa no moa. ʻAʻole makaukau ka poʻe dinornis e hālāwai me nā kānaka, no ka mea ma mua ma New Zealand ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻole lākou he mau ʻenemi kūlohelohe. Ua lilo nā ʻohana o ka poʻe Polenekia a ka poʻe Polenekia i ke kumu o ka huki ʻana i nā moena nui, a ua luku lākou i kēia mau kanaka nunui i ka makahiki 1500. Eia nō naʻe, ʻike ʻole ʻia nā lono mai ka poʻe e kamaʻilio ana i ka moa i ka hapalua o 18 a me ka 19 o ke kenekulia mua.

He manu paukahi ʻo Moa manu no New Zealand, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua noho wale nō kēia ʻano manu me kēia wahi ma ka honua. Akā, e like me ka manu kiwi, e noho ana ma Aotearoa nei wale nō. I ka makahiki 1986, ua holo ka wā i hele ai i nā ana o ka mauna ʻo Owen i Nuʻi Nui. Ua kipa aku ka poʻe noiʻi i nā kihi ākea loa a hele mai i loko o kēia mau ana i kahi o ka mau wāwae nunui i kahi manu nunui. ʻOiai ke kumu o ka mōʻī o lākou ka mea mālama ʻia, me he mea lā ʻaʻole make ka holoholona. Ma ia hope aku, ua lilo ka wāwae i moa.

Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā haʻawina ʻo moa i ka hopena o ka kenekulia 19, a ʻo ka nui o nā mea i ʻike ʻia, nā hulu a me nā ʻalihi o kēia mau manu i hana hou ai i ko lākou helehelena a me nā iwi. Ma ke ala, i ka hōʻike noiʻi ua ʻike ʻia ua kū mua nā luna o nā moa i ʻoi aku 2 mau makahiki i hala aku nei. Ke hoʻomau nei ka noiʻi ʻana i kēia mau manu i kēia lā. ʻAʻole nele ka poʻe ʻepekema i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka waiwai ola i loko o nā mokupuni, a me ka moʻolelo o nā mea ʻike maka mua. ʻOiai inā he hōʻoia ʻana e ola ana nā moas, he mea ʻole paha ia e kau ʻia kēlā mau aʻa o ka 3.5 mau mita i ke kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka lilo paha ia he moa liʻiliʻi, akā i kekahi mea e kupaianaha ai.

Inā ʻoe i makemake i kēia ʻatikala, e hoʻomau i nā hoʻolaha pūnaewele e loaʻa i nā mea hou loa a me nā mea hou loa e pili ana i nā holoholona.

KOEA O MOA

Ma hope o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana o nā mokupuni o New Zealand mai ka ʻĀina kahiko o Gondwana, e noho mau ana ka poʻe kūpuna o dinornis, ʻo moa kona inoa Australia.

Hoʻoponopono lākou i nā kūlana ola hou, loli, a noho koke i ka biotopes ʻokoʻa like ʻole. Manaʻo nā kānakaʻepekema aia ma kahi o 12 mau ʻano manu o kēia mau manu e noho ma nā mokupuni. ʻO ka hapa liʻiliʻi o nā kūpuna o nā moa ka nui o kahi turki a hiki i kahi kiʻekiʻe o 1 m, a ʻo ka nui ka nui o ka ulu ʻana he 2 a 3.5 m. Ua hānai nā manu i nā meaʻai kanu, no ka mea wale nō i hiki ke ola ma ka wahi liʻiliʻi.

Ua hiki paha ka nui o nā manu o kēia mau manu ma nā mokupuni o Nuioka e pili ana i 100 tausani. Ua liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ʻia ka Moas. ʻ saylelo aku ʻo ʻAborigine he ʻōniʻoniʻo manu nā manu, a loaʻa aʻe kekahi i ka pohā o kā lākou poʻo.

Hoʻopōla

ʻAʻole ʻo ia ka ʻenemi i ka mua o ka biology, he lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ke kaʻina o kāna hānai. Ma kēia hope aku i alakaʻi ai i kēia mau manu nui.

I ka wā hana o ka hilahila, waiho wale i ka hua manu hoʻokahi, i kekahi mau hua liʻiliʻi, ua hōʻoia ʻo ia i ʻelua hua manu. Ua loaʻa i nā mea noiʻi nā ʻili nui o nā huaʻai i nā hale kupapaʻu o Hawaiʻi. I kekahi mau huaʻai, mālama ʻia nā embryo.

ʻO nā hua moa ʻo Kanaka ka mea i loaʻa i ka pōpoki-kulai, akā i kekahi manawa he mālamalama, ʻōmaʻomaʻo a ʻona paha. ʻO ka hua manu nui i hoʻopili ʻia e ka wahine no 3 mau mahina, a ʻo ke kāne ka manawa i kēia manawa ua lawe mai kāna meaʻai. ʻO ka moa nāna i haki mai ka hua ma lalo o ka mālama a nā mākua.

ʻ .ʻLAʻE

Ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o nā poʻe Polenekia mua i ko lākou paeʻāina i Nui Loa, ʻaʻohe ʻūhū iki nā moa. Ua manaʻo ka Polenekia i ka manu he ʻenemi maikaʻi loa, no ka mea, he mau kī ikaika ʻo ia e hiki ai i nā hōʻeha kino. ʻ huntlelo aku ʻo ʻAmorigines i nā moas no ka ʻai, nā hua manu i hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he kīʻaha, a ua hana lākou i nā mea kaua a me nā mea hoʻonaninani mai nā iwi o kēia manu. Ua lawe mai ka Polenekia i nā pōpoki a me nā ʻīlio i nā mokupuni, ua lilo ia i mea kī nui no nā manu āpau e pili ana i ka lepo. Pōʻī ʻia ʻo Dinornis me ka luku ʻole i ka wā hoʻomaka a nā Hawaiʻi e ʻoki i nā ulu lāʻau ma lalo o ka ʻāina maloʻo. A ʻoiai ua ʻike ʻia kahi mau kumu e noho ana ʻo moa ma kēia i ka makahiki 19, ua manaʻo ka poʻe ʻepekema nei i hala kēia mau kauā kahiko i ka 400-500 mau makahiki i hala.

DINORNIS KE HAKOA HUI E HIKI ANA

E like me nā ratites ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻohe dinelis he keel, kahi pohō o ka sternum, kahi e lawelawe ai e hoʻopili i nā ʻiʻo pectoral paʻa i nā manu lele e lele nei. ʻAʻole i ʻike ʻia inā loaʻa nā kūpuna āpau i kahi kūpuna maʻamau.

ʻO ka nui o nā manu ʻānō i nā nui a me nā emu. No ka mea, he mau ʻēheu mau manu nā manu, no laila e hiki ke manaʻo e lele paha ko lākou kūpuna. I loko o nā ʻuā o ka dinornis, i pakele ai a hiki i kēia lā, aneane loa keel, e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole ia e lele a hiki paha i kēia hana i kekahi mau makahiki ma mua o ka puka ʻana o nā ratites i kēia mau lā.

ʻO ke kanaka e pili ana i ka dinornis nui ʻōlapa, he poni, no ka mea, he hiki ʻole ke hōʻea i kahi ʻūhā poʻohiwi.

- Kahi i loaʻa ai nā huaʻa moa

E MANAO MA KE MOA O KA MOA

ʻO Dinornis, a ʻo moa paha, ua noho i ka honua no 100 miliona mau makahiki. Kūkulu wale ʻia nā moaks i nā makahiki 15 - 16 mau kenekulia, a ua loaʻa nā mea liʻiliʻi hou a hiki i ka kenekulia 19. ʻIke ʻia nā ʻōpala nui o nā iwi dinornis i nā wahi repo - kahi o ka noho mau ʻana. Nui nā ʻūhā holoʻokoʻa o nā manu o nā manu kahiko i ola ma luna o ka mokupuni o Nui Hema i ke awāwa ʻo Pyramidal ma ke kūkulu ʻākau ʻo Canterbury. ʻO kekahi mau dinornis i mālama ʻia i nā kaalulu a mālama ʻia me ka ʻili a me ka hulu.

ʻO keʻano

ʻAʻohe o lāua i ʻike ʻia i kēia mau manu, no ka mea, ʻaʻole i loaʻa nā koena o nā iwi ʻēheu. No laila, ua pili lākou i nā pūʻulu manu manu ʻole. Akā, e pili ana i kēia, ua kū ka nīnau a pehea a pehea i hiki ai lākou i Niihau. Ua nui nā manaʻo e pili ana i kēia, akā na ka haʻaheo i lanakila ma luna o nā ʻāina hou 60 miliona mau makahiki i ka makahiki i hala, i ka pili ʻana o Aotearoa me nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka ʻāina.

Hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā huelo o kēia mau holoholona i kahi kūlana kūpono e hoʻomālamalama ai i ka ulu nui e pili ana i ka ʻāʻī lōʻihi. Akā hōʻike i kahi loiloi o nā ʻili vertebral i hōʻike pinepine ʻia e nā manu i ko lākou ʻāʻī ʻaʻole piʻulaʻo, akā i ka pae i ka honua. Hōʻike ʻia kēia ma ka liʻiliʻi e ka likina i hoʻopili ʻia i ke kua o ke poʻo. A lele nā ​​leheheu lele ʻole i ko lākou ʻāʻī inā pono wale nō.

Ma ka Mokupuni ʻo Waiʻakai, noho nā manu ma nā nahele i ke kahakai komohana. A pū kekahi me nā kumulāʻau ma ka hikina hikina o nā Alaka Hema. Loaʻa nō hoʻi nā koena i loko o nā ana ma ke komohana ʻākau. Mai kēia ʻike hiki ke ʻike ʻia ʻo ke kiʻi o ko Maui Hema i noho nui e ka moa. Aia no ka mokupuni o Akau, loaʻa nā koena o nā manu kahiko e ʻike pinepine ʻia ma laila. Noho lākou i ka nahele maloʻo a me nā wahi pīpī.

Kaʻai ʻana a me ka kaʻai ʻana

Ua neʻe kēia mau manu i ka wikiwiki o 3-5 km / h. Ua ʻai lākou i nā meaʻai kanu. Nā lāʻau i ʻoki ʻia i loko o ka ʻōpū, kahi i ʻae ai iā lākou e ʻai i ka meaʻai kanu lāʻau. Kahi ʻia nā pōhaku ʻala a poepoe a hoʻopuni ʻia a hiki i 110 mm ka lōʻihi. Ua loaʻa iā lākou ma waena o nā koena i koe. Hoʻokahi hoʻokahi ʻōpū e pili ana i ka 3-4 kg o nā pōhaku.

Kuhi ʻia kēia mau holoholona e ka fecundity haʻahaʻa a he wā lōʻihi hoʻi. Ma ka 10 wale nō o ka makahiki, ua nui nā moa i ka nui o nā pākeke. Noho lākou i nā kolana, ua hana ʻia nā mea nalo mai nā lālā, kūkulu ʻia i nā paona holoʻokoʻa. Loaʻa ka nui o nā hua manu i nā ana. Ua manaʻo ʻia ua hana ʻia ka wā hana ma ka hopena o ke kō a me ke kauwela. Ua hiki i nā hua ma ka 140-220 mm ka lōʻihi, a ua hiki i 180 mm ka laulā a he waiho keʻokeʻo.

ʻO ka pilina me ke kāne

Ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o nā poʻe ma Aotearoa, ʻo ka ʻaʻe wale no ka Haast e kālele i nā manu manu ʻole. Hoʻomaka pākuʻi ka ʻohana Hawaiʻi i nā ʻāina hou i ka makahiki 1300. Hoʻopau nui lākou i ka hānai holoholona, ​​a no laila luku nui lākou i nā holoholona. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia kekahi poʻe loea e ola ana nā kānaka ʻē aʻe ma nā kihi ākea o Aotearoa, akā ʻaʻole i ʻāpono ʻia kēia ʻike.

Eia naʻe, aia kekahi mau poʻe ma ka hopena o ka kenekulia 18, ua ʻike ʻia lākou i nā manu lele manuahi nui mai ke kahakai o ka Hema Hema. Nā kikowaena like pū kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona o ka waenakonu o ke kenekulia XIX. Ma keʻano kūikawā, ua hōʻike ʻia kēia ʻike e kekahi kanaka i kapa ʻia ʻo George Paulie. I ka makahiki 1878, ua loaʻa ka ʻike mai ka wahine ʻo 80 mau makahiki ʻo Alice Mackenzie i 1959. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kona wā he 17, ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā manu nui 2 ma nā ʻalā. Me ia kahi kaikuaana i ʻike i kēia mau holoholona. Eia naʻe, ʻike nui ka ʻepekema koʻikoʻi i kēia ʻike.
