ʻO Takaha, a i ʻole ka manu lele sultanka (Porphyrio hochstetteri) - he manu lele ʻole ʻole e hoʻopau ʻia ka lawehala, ua hopena ʻo ia i Aotearoa.

ʻO Takache ka lālā nui o ka ʻohana Rallidae (cowherd). ʻO kēia manu lele lele lele ʻole, e pili ana i ka nui o ka moa, he kino ʻāpana ia e pili ana i 63 cm lōʻihi, me nā wāwae ʻulaʻula nui, kahi puhukuhui ʻōniʻoniʻo ulaula nui a he plumage māla-uliuli hoihoi. ʻO ke kauā wahine o kēia manu e kaupaona ana he 2,3 kg, nā kāne mai 2.4 a 2.7 kg. He mau ʻēheu ʻē aʻe nā takaha i hoʻohana ʻole ʻia no nā huakaʻi, akā e mākaukau ʻia i ka wā hana.

ʻO nā kahe ka mea kahi i noho ai ka takah, akā ʻo ka mea i hoʻohuli ʻia nā kānaka iā lākou i ka mahiʻai, ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia ʻo takahā e neʻe i nā ʻalāwi alpine, no laila noho lākou i nā ʻāpana alpine ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hau, a me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka wā anuanu e iho ai lākou i loko o nā ululāʻau a me nā kumu lāʻau subalpine.

Kuhi kēia mau manu i ka mauʻu, nā mea kanu lāʻau a me nā mea inikona, akā o ke kumu o kā lākou meaʻai, ʻo ka lau o Chionochloa a me nā ʻano ʻēheu alpine o nā mauʻu a me nā mea hihiu. Hiki iā lākou ke ʻike pinepine i ka ʻai ʻana i ka pala o Dantonia melemele, a ke paʻa nei i ka huaʻa me kahi wāwae hoʻokahi, ʻai wale ka manu i ka ʻūlū wale, ke hoʻolei ʻia ke koena.

Takaha monogamous, i.e. e hana i kahi kāne no ke ola. No ka hoʻohālikelike, i ka mahina o Okatoba, i ka wā e hoʻomaka ai ka hau, kūkulu lākou i nā ʻuʻuku nui mai ka mauʻu a me nā lālā, like me ke kīwī i ʻano. Hiki i ka pipi i nā hua a pau i ʻekolu a nānā ʻia, kahi a 30 mau lā i puka mai ai nā moa. Hāpai nā mākua ʻelua i ka hua manu, a laila māhele pū lākou iā lākou iho i nā kuleana o ka hānai ʻana i nā ʻōpio. ʻO keʻano kekahi o nā keikikahi wale i ka pipi ua ola i ka hoʻoilo mua. Akā ke kōkua ʻia ke ola ʻana o nā ʻano ma ka mea i manaʻo ʻia ua mālama nā manu he lōʻihi no ka noho ʻana mai ka wā ma mua o ka makahiki he 14 a 20 paha.

He mea kupaianaha ka moʻolelo i ʻike ʻia e ka ʻona ʻona: ua lohe pinepine ʻia nā mea ʻepekema i ke ʻano o New Zealand nā moʻolelo mai ka poʻe kamaʻāina e pili ana i kahi hana kolohe ʻole - he manu me ka plumage mālamalama, akā no ka mea ʻaʻohe o lākou e hauʻoli i ka ʻike takahe, ua hoʻoholo lākou i kēia mau moʻolelo he mea ʻano ʻuhane mai ke ʻano aku. kaʻao kūloko.

Eia naʻe, i ka makahiki 1847, ua hoʻokele mau ʻo Walter Mantell i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā iwi o kahi manu nui i ʻike ʻia ma kekahi o nā kauhale. Ma hope o kēia ʻike ʻana, ua nui hou nā hana e ʻimi i ke takaha, a ua kūleʻa kekahi poʻe: ua hoʻokō nā poʻe noiʻi e hopu i kahi manu e ola nei. Akā, mai ka mea o ko ke ola ola hope loa i hopu ʻia i ka makahiki 1898, ma hope o ka nalowale ʻia o nā heiau o ka manu, ua kau ʻia ma nā papa inoa o nā holoholona i hala.

ʻO ka makahiki 1948 wale nō ka manawa o ka holo ʻana o Geoffrey Orbella i ka manawa e ʻike i kahi kolamu liʻiliʻi takahi e kokoke ana i ka Lake Te Anau. ʻAkoʻa ma hope o kēlā "kū hou mai ka make" hiki i kēia manu ke kapa ʻia he manu ʻo Aotearoa Nui - kahi phoenix.

I kēia manawa, aia ka takake ma ka papa inoa o ka hopohopo, no ka mea he liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi loa ia, akā ʻo ia ka nui o ka heluna nui. ʻO ka aneane piha loa o kēia mau manu no ka nui o nā kumu: ʻo ka hiʻona nui, ka nalowale o ka noho ʻana a me nā mea kaukau. Ma hope o ka wehe hou ʻana, ua hana hou ke aupuni o Niu Sila i kahi kūikawā kūikawā ma Fiordland National Park e mālama i ka takahe, a ua hana ʻia nō hoʻi nā wahi no ka hoʻonui ʻana i kēia mau manu laka. I ka makahiki 1982, heluna wale nō ka heluna he nui i ke kanaka he nui, akā no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e mālama, ua hoʻonui ʻia kā lākou helu ma 242.

No kahi kope piha a ʻāpana paha, pono kahi loulou i ka pūnaewele ʻo UkhtaZoo.

Takache

• Notornis mantelli

Takache, a i ole lele sultan (lat. Porphyrio hochstetteri A. B. Meyer, 1883) - manu kīhai manuahi ʻole, ua manaʻo ʻia ua pau. ʻO ka inoa Hawaiʻi kūloko mohaw . ^ E Ha yM. Noho ia i nā kuahiwi o ka Hema ʻo Mālei o New Zealand, kahi kokoke i ka Lake Te Anau. Nā ipo i ka ʻohana hānai. Aia i ka Pōmaʻomaʻo Red Book ke kūlana o kahi ʻano pili i ka pilikia i ka pau ʻole (kaʻaha EN).

Maʻolelo

Ua māhele ʻia ʻo Takaha ma waena o Aotearoa. Ma ka mokupuni ʻo North, ua kapa ʻia ka manu e pili ana i ka mogo, ma ka ʻaoʻao hema - takaha. Hopu aku la ka Maori ia takah no ka lakou palu.

Ua ʻimi mua nā kānaka ʻepekema i ke ʻano o New Zealand i nā ʻikepili āpau e pili ana i ka manu ʻē, akā no ka mea ʻaʻohe hōʻike hōʻike i ke ʻano o ka mana, ua hoʻoholo lākou he mea kūao ka manu mai ka moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi.

Eia nō naʻe, i ka makahiki 1847, ua loaʻa ʻole ʻo Walter Mantell i kahi ʻōpala, kahiahiwa, a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ka ʻōpū o kahi manu ʻike ʻole nui ma kahi kauka ma ka ʻĀkau Nui. Ka mea i huli mai, aia nā iwi i kahi manu lele nui akā ʻaʻole holo lele, kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo Mantell - Notornis mantelli, kēlā - "Kahaha manuʻa Mantella."

ʻElua mau makahiki ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o Mantella, ua ʻike i kahi hui o nā mea hōʻailona i nā ʻāpana o kahi manu nui. Ma hope o ke alahele, loaʻa iā lākou kahi manu nui me ka plumage nani. Akā naʻe, i kekahi mau lā ma hope o ka hopu ʻana ua i ka manu, ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike e pili i ka mea e hana ai, pepehi a ʻai ʻia. Mālama ʻia ka ʻili o ka manu me ka plumage a hāʻule i loko o nā lima o Walter Mantell.

Ma hope mai, ua loaʻa kekahi manu ʻē aʻe, i kēia manawa ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia kona ʻano holoʻokoʻa i Ladana, kahi i ʻike ʻia ai. Ma nā hopena, ua ʻike ʻia nā ʻepekema i kekahi mau ʻokoʻa mai nā makana mua i loaʻa iā Mantell i ka makahiki 1847. Ua hoʻopau ko lāua ʻelua i nā ʻano ʻelua o ka takake ma ka ʻĀkau a ʻo ʻAmelika Hema o Niu Sila. Ua kāhea nā lua ʻelua Notornis hochstetteri no ka hanohano o ka mea ʻike makaʻāao Austrian o Ausetalia a me Aotearoa, ua'ōlelo ʻo Hochstetter.

Loaʻa ka ʻike makaʻaka hope loa o ka takakhe i ka makahiki 1898, a ma hope iho ua kākau ʻia ia i nā holoholona hoʻopau wale.

ʻOihuli ukaʻi

I ka makahiki 1948, ua loaʻa i ka huakaʻi o Giofri Orbella i nā ululāʻau o Te Anau ʻelua mau kiʻi. Ua kiʻi ʻia nā manu, hoʻopuni a hoʻokuʻu ʻia i loko o ka nahele. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope, ua loaʻa ʻo Dr. Orbell i nā noke takache. Ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i 30 mau ʻuʻuku, hele mai ʻo ia i ka hopena ua ulu ʻo ʻAhaaha i hoʻokahi wale nō moa i hoʻokahi makahiki.

Ua haʻi aku ke aupuni o New Zealand i kahi kūlana he takahe. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke kaona o kēia wa ma Lake Te Anau ma kahi o ka 160,000 ʻeka.
