ʻO Dugong kahi hana manu mamate mai ke kauoha o nā haku, e like me ka manatee (he 3 ʻano manatees) a me kahi bipi ʻo Steller. O ka ʻohana dugong, ʻo lākou wale nō ka mea i kū a hiki i kēia lā. ʻO ka huaʻōlelo "dugong" pono mai ka "Malaysia" duyung "- kaikamahine maiden a wahine mele paha. Akā, ʻo kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo kēia holoholona ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā ōla me ka sirena, ʻoiai he mau mea like ʻole ma lalo o ka wai - ʻo ke ʻano o ka huelo a me nā kelepaʻi manuahi protruding e hiki ke hōʻike maikaʻi i ke kiʻi noʻonoʻo o ka poʻe lawenaʻa i ke kiʻi o ka luahine.

4 holoholona no nā ʻāpana o nā haku. ʻO lākou nā holoholona aquivorous aquatic e noho i ke kahakai, e hānai i ka algae a ea i ka ea hau. He ili ʻili, maloʻo lākou, e like me ka hiina, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke neʻe i ka ʻāina. ʻAʻohe nā wāwae hope a me ka fin dorsal.

I ka wehe ʻana o nā haku, ʻo ka dugong ka mea liʻiliʻi loa, ʻo kona paona ka lōʻihi ma mua o 600 kg, a e lōʻihi ana ka lōʻihi o ke kino mai 2,5 a 4-5 mau mika. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kāne ma mua o nā wahine. ʻO nā hoahānau pili kokoke loa o ka dugongs, ʻano ʻokoʻa loa. ʻO ke kino o ka holoholona kahi ʻano fusiform me nā liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi - ma nā ʻaoʻao, a ua like ka lālani ke kohola. Hoʻohana ʻia nā poli no ka pena ʻana, a no ka lawaiʻa a me ka hoʻolālā wikiwiki e hoʻohana ana lākou i ka huelo. Hoʻohana ʻia nō hoʻi nā fins Dugong e neʻe ma ka ʻaoʻao o lalo, i ka wā o ka hōʻiliʻili o nā algae.

ʻO ke poʻo hina o ke kino o nā loko he keleawe, akā me ka pakeke hiki iā ia ke lilo i ʻulaʻula, ʻoi aku ka māmā o ka ʻōpū ma ke kua. Ua liʻiliʻi ke poʻo, e like me ka peʻe, me nā maka liʻiliʻi. He ikaika loa nā muzzle, ʻelua ʻāpana nāhelehe nui, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka ʻaoʻao i ka hapalua i waenakonu. Pono kēia ʻano lehelehe no ke olakino algae. ʻO ka ʻāʻī, pōkole, ʻaʻohe auricles ma ke poʻo, nā liʻiliʻi a he seti hohonu nā maka. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā ihu i luna a hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā valves e kōkua ai e paʻa i ka lewa.

ʻAʻole ʻike maikaʻi ʻo Dugongs, akā hoʻolohe maikaʻi loa. He kiki liʻiliʻi ʻo ka Males. ʻAno nā molars i nā aʻa a me ka enamel, ma nā ʻilua ʻelua he 5-6 mau molara ma kēlā ʻaoʻao, a ʻo nā kāne kekahi mea incisors.

Ma mua, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā nano i kēia manawa, akā i kēia manawa, hiki ke ʻike wale ʻia ma nā ʻĀina Inia a me ka Pakipika. Loaʻa iā lākou ka hapa nui o nā kahakai o ka ʻāina ʻo Tanzania Peninsula, a me ke Kaʻena ʻo ke Kānāwai Nui a me nā Stes Torres.

Ua ʻike nā ʻepekema ʻepekema o nā kōnakū me kahi makahiki o 50 miliona mau makahiki. A laila he 4 mau kālā ko lākou, a ua hiki iā lākou ma luna o ka ʻāina no kekahi manawa, akā ua nalowale kēia manawa no ka nalowale o kēia mana a me 2 mau kālā.

E ʻike mau nā poʻe aloha aloha iā Jules Verne ua hui lākou me ka dugong ma nā ʻaoʻao o nā moʻolelo i pili iā Kāpena Nemo - "Kekahi mau haneli ma lalo o ke kai" a "The Mysterious Island". Ua wehewehe ko ka mea kākau moʻolelo i ka dugong he holoholona makehewa, akā ʻaʻole maoli kēia. Hiki i ke Dugong hiki i kahi pōʻino ke ʻole ka nui no ka nui a me ka lohi loa, ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole hoʻi mai kēia mau holoholona i ka poʻe. Hiki ke hoʻouka kaua ʻo Dugong inā he pale ʻo ia i kāna kū - e like me nā holoholona ʻē aʻe. I ka laulā, ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka pilikia o kahi holoholona ma mua o kahi ʻīlio.

ʻO ka hapa pinepine o nā nane i noho me ka wai i ke kahakai mau, ʻaʻole ʻoe e hālāwai me lākou i ka hohonu o ka 20 mau mika, akā ʻoi aku ka maopopo o nā puʻu a me nā lagoons - he nui nā algae e mālama pono ai kēia mau holoholona hihiu. Pili nā neʻe o lākou me nā ebbs a me nā kahe, ʻaʻole he mea kupanaha, no ka mea ʻai lākou i ka wai pāpio. Hoʻokomo ka ʻāpala a me nā mea kanu i nā ʻāpana nui i kā lākou meaʻai, akā hiki iā lākou ke hānai i nā iʻa liʻiliʻi a me nā puʻu liʻiliʻi i paʻa i loko o ke algae, ʻike nā kānakaʻepekema i ko lākou mau koena i loko o ka ʻōpū o ka dugongs. E ʻimi ʻimi i nā wai a me nā ulaula.

Ma ke kaʻina hana ʻana, hoʻomohala mau i nā ʻōpū i lalo o ka laguna me ko lākou lehelehe lalo, e haki ana i nā aʻa algae, kahi e waiho ai nā koikoi i lalo i lalo, hiki ke hoʻoholo ʻia mai nā "bipi moana" hou kēia i ʻā ma lalo. I kēia hihia, nui nā wīwī i piʻi. ʻO nā Algae a me nā hua o kā lākou dugong, ua pālea me nā niho kumu. Ma mua o kou ʻai ʻana i ka mea kanu, holoi ʻo ka dugong i loko o ka wai, e lūlū i kona poʻo mai ka ʻaoʻao a ʻaoʻao.

Hiki i nā Dugongs ke hoʻopau i lalo o ka wai a hiki i 10-15 mau minuke, ma hope o ke ala ʻana i ka ea e ea i ka ea. I kekahi lā, pono kekahi i nā holoholona e ʻai e pili ana iā 40 kilokilo o nā mea kanu a me nā algae, no laila ʻo ka hapa nui o ka manawa lākou lākou e ʻimi ai i ka meaʻai. Pue maikaʻi lākou a mālie, a mālie hoʻi, me ke ʻano he kānāwai, ʻaʻole mālama ʻia nā meaʻokoʻa. Ma ka hānai ʻana i ka dugong hiki ke makaʻu me ka ʻai i ka iʻa liʻiliʻi e kokoke ana i kona alo.

Pio aku paha nā holoholona, ​​akā ʻaʻole naʻe, ma lalo o ka wai ka pīhoihoi dugong ma ka awelika a hiki i 10 km / h, a inā makaʻu ana, hiki iā lākou ke hiki i nā wikiwiki a hiki i 18 km / h. E kū kūlohelohe lākou, e hana mau i nā kani a i ko lākou makaʻu wale nei. ʻOluʻolu maikaʻi ʻole ʻia ka Captivity, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o nā ʻohana siren, no laila hiki ʻole iā lākou ke loaʻa ʻike i nā loko wai a me nā mea hoihoi.

Ke ʻaole nei ʻo Dugongs, ʻoi pū kekahi iā lākou iho, akā i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai hiki iā lākou ke hōʻuluʻulu i kahi ʻohana liʻiliʻi. Noho ka wai wela, hiki i nā pipi ke hoʻohui a puni kēia makahiki. Hoʻokele nā ​​pālei wahine no nā wahine me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kā lākou mau pana, a i kēia manawa ʻaʻole lākou e nānā maluhia i ka manawa, e like me ke koena o ka manawa. Hāpai ka wahine i hoʻokahi makahiki, he lōʻihi o ʻelua mau ʻehā, a hoʻokiʻekiʻe i nā keiki ma luna o lākou, me ke ʻano ʻole o nā kūpuna.

Hānau ke pēpē i ka lōʻihi o kahi mika ka lōʻihi a hiki i ka 35 kg. Hānai i nā wahine i ka poʻe ʻōpio a i ka waiū a hiki i 1,5 mau makahiki, ʻoiai ma hope o ka hiki ʻana o ʻekolu mau mahina e hoʻomaka ka ʻōpiopio e hoʻololi i nā meaʻai. Puberty i ka dugongs e hele ana i nā makahiki he 9-10 makahiki, a ua kokoke kokoke ko lākou ola holoʻokoʻa me nā kānaka - 70 mau makahiki. Ke neʻe nui nei nā holoholona ʻōpio me ke kōkua o nā pua, a me nā pākeke me ke kōkua o kahi huelo.

Makemake nā poʻe Dugongs ke huakaʻi a hiki ke kau hele i kahi lōʻihi ma kahi o hoʻokahi kaukani mau mile, no ke kumu ʻole. E holo nui aku lākou inā ʻaʻole lākou i lilo i mea hōʻeha me nā moku moana a me nā waʻa kaʻa. ʻO ka hapa pinepine, ua hoʻoholo lākou i kēlā mau huakaʻi ma muli o ka nele o ka nui o ka nui o ka ʻai i ko lākou wahi o kahi noho, akā hiki iā lākou keʻauʻau like like. Hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia ka neʻe o ka lā a me ke ana a ka manawa i ka hakahaka o ka wai ʻana i ka wai a i ke kauwela paha, loaʻa ka meaʻai a me ka nui.

E lilo mau ka polikani i mea pio no nā kaʻe nui, a ʻo ia kekahi o nā kumu no ka heluna liʻiliʻi. He maʻalahi lākou no ka poʻe. ʻO kā lākou ʻai me ka veal e like me ko lākou makemake: momona, iwi a me nā ʻili. A ʻo ke kumu ʻelua kēia e kākau ʻia ai ka dugong ma ka ʻAmatu ʻāpana, aia kahi i loaʻa ai ke ʻano o nā "ʻano palupalu". Hoʻohana ʻia nā iwi Dugong no ka hana ma lalo o ka ivory "(eia kahi mea like me nā elephants), hoʻohana ʻia ka momona i ka lāʻau lapaʻau.

ʻĀnō ke kāpae ʻia nei ka pauna o ka nane i kā nā ʻupena i ʻae ʻia, akā ua ʻae ʻia ʻo ka lawaiʻa lawaiʻa no ka poʻe ʻAmelika. I kēia manawa, ʻumi paha tausani mau kānaka koe, e hoʻomaikaʻi i nā hana i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e mālama iā lākou, ʻaʻole i emi ka heluna o nā kānaka. Akā ma kahi kaulike koʻikoʻi kēia e hiki ai i kekahi ke kūʻino o ke kaiāulu e hōʻeha - no ka laʻana, ka haki ʻana o ka honi ʻoni i loko o ka pā dugong, me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa.

Hoʻokahi kūʻokoʻa nā Dugongs - ʻo ia wale nō nā mea kanu manu nuʻu e noho nei i ko mākou ao. No laila, ua noʻonoʻo ʻia ke kumuhana o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o ka poʻe dugong i ka Bonn Convention ma United Arab Emirates i 2010, kahi i kūkākūkā ai lākou i nā ala e hoʻopakele ai i nā dugongs a mālama pono i ko lākou lehulehu.

Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ka hana o ka waiwai o ka poʻe kekahi o nā mea koʻikoʻi no ke kaohi ʻana o ka nui o ka popo, a ma kahi o 7,000 mau holoholona i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o nā kahe wai. ʻO kā lākou mahi ʻai, ua lako ʻia me nā ʻeke lawaiʻa, nā ʻupena a me nā ʻeke plastik. I ka wā o kekahi o nā hana lapaʻau, hoʻihoʻi ʻia hoʻokahi a me ka hapalua mau o ia mau pā i nā wai o ke kūpeʻe. ʻO ka emi ʻana o ka nui o ka hiʻona ma muli o ka hana a ke kanaka ma kahi hohonu o 20 mau mika - a me ke algae ke kumu o ka mālamaʻai - ʻo ia kekahi o nā kumu o ka make o ka pau.

Pono e hana i nā hana e hoʻonui ai i ka ʻāina no ka ʻāina a me ka wai maʻemaʻe i ke kahakai, ʻo kēia ala ke mālama ʻia nei nā ʻano holoholona like ʻole. Pono ka pale o Dugongs i ka poʻe, a me nā mea kūlohelohe, nā hiu, ua lawa loa e kāohi i ko lākou heluna. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻohi i ka nui o ka hopu manu i nā kuhaks, akā hiki nō iā mākou ke kaupalena i kā mākou hana i nā wai kahakai.
