ʻO Akhatin kekahi'ōpiopio o'Aperika, uaʻikeʻia no kona nui. I ka Guinness Book of Records, uaʻikeʻia he nani eʻoi aku ana ma mua o elima haneli maumu. Akā naʻe,ʻaʻole lākou iʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi haneri me kanakolu. ʻO ka snail he mea lohi a me nā hāmole ma ka hola o hoʻokahi kenimika i kēlā me kēia minuke. ʻAʻole'ohatā i loaʻa i nā mea hana kani a me nā leo. Akā, he akamai loa nā poʻe Africa. Hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomohala i kēlā me kēiaʻano o nā hoʻohālikelike.
Pehea e mālama ai i nā hoʻopuni'Aperika?
ʻO ka'alapalapala'Apau ma ka home i ka terrarium, kahi e pono ai e mālama i ka wela kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka mahana i ka nohoʻana o ka snail he mau hekelukūmālima heʻelima.
Ma lalo o ka terrarium, ponoʻoe e kau i kahi oneʻeleʻele me kahi hohonuʻeono keneta. ʻAʻole pono ka māmā kukui māmā, no ka mea,ʻaʻole iʻike wale ia me ko lākou mau maka, akā me ke kōkuaʻana o nā pūmāmā māmā i ke kino. No laila,ʻo ka mālamalamaʻana o ka terrariumʻoi aku ka hoʻopiʻiʻana i kekahi mau pale a kūkulu paha i kahi kihi no Akhatina, kahi e hiki ai ke hūnā mai ka malamalama nui.
Hoʻopili ko'AbranaʻAmelika e like me kaʻauʻauʻana. Hiki ke holoiʻia ma lalo o ka pā, paniʻia ma lalo o kahi kahawai o ka wai mahana.
He aha ka mea e hānai i ka'Apuni'Apena?
He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i kēia omnivorous. ʻAi lākou i kaʻiʻo. Ma ka home e hānaiʻia lākou i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu, nā haloha, nā kīʻaha likeʻole. ʻAʻole lākou e kū'ē i ka ululāʻau, ka mea kanu, a me ka mea pono. Hāʻawi i ka iʻa holoholona, ka moa a me nā hua manu keʻokeʻo a, no ka mea,ʻo kaʻiʻo.
ʻO ka'ōpalaʻo Akhatin he mea maʻaʻole i kaʻai e hiki ai ke hāʻawiʻia i nā'ōpala o nā huaʻai a me nā hua. Mai hopohopoʻoe e hoʻopuka i ka lāʻau, ināʻaʻole kahi mea makemake i ka'opi,ʻaʻole ia eʻai.
Me kaʻikeʻole o nā mea a pau, ua kapu loaʻia ka hāʻawiʻana i ka paʻakai, ka meaʻono, kaʻeli a me kaʻono. Eʻae i kaʻaiʻana i nā mea meaʻaʻahi a me ka palani. ʻAʻole pono ka maʻaʻana i kahi puaʻa i hoʻokahiʻano meaʻai - hiki kēia i ke kinoʻole o ke kino o ka holoholona, e hoʻomaka ana e hāʻawi i nā meaʻai'ē aʻe.
He meaʻoluʻolu keʻano o ka momona o ka pūpū o ka pipi i ka mea i hānaiʻia. No laila, inā eʻai nuiʻo ia i nā hua "nani", e like me keʻano o ka'ōmato, ka meaʻulaʻulaʻulaʻula a me nā kāloti, e lilo ka'ōpū i nani a'ālohilohi.
Ehia mau manawa e hānai ai i kahi hale nui? Inā he'ōpili'ōpiopio kou, a laila hoʻokahi manawa i ka lā. ʻAe, a inā he "nui"ʻAmelika,ʻelua wale nō -ʻekolu manawa i ka hebedoma. Mai ho'āʻo e kau i ka pipi ma kahi meaʻai. Hoʻopiha ka snail iā ia iho pehea eʻai ai. Noho mauʻo ia i ka manawa. Akāʻo ke koena o ka meaʻai eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe, iʻole e loaʻa nā pale a me nā lele.
Loaʻaʻo'Ahatine i ka calcium e kūkulu i ka iwi. Maanei,ʻo ka hīnī, nā hua manu, ka'ōleʻa maoli, nā manu'ōmaʻomaʻo, ka hana lepo a me nā mea'ē aʻe he nui ke kōkua. A he mea inu ka snail ma hope o kaʻaiʻana, ka wai i ka terrarium me ka wai.
Pehea e hoʻopau aiʻo'Apuni i ka pua?
ʻO ka'alapalapala'Aperika ma keʻano he hermaphrodite. ʻO kēia wale nō ke kāne'ōpio, aʻo ka poʻe keuʻoi aʻe he wahine. No laila, i mea e loaʻa ai ka hua, e noho i kahi terrarium nā'ōpio a me nā mea makua.
ʻO nā hua i hoʻokaheʻia o ka ahaatin e like me ka moa. A hāpaiʻia ka'ōpiopio i loko o ia mau mea mai kekahi mau hola a hiki i kaʻumikumamāhiku mau lā ma kahi mahana o nāʻanuʻu heʻumikumamālima. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻokuʻuʻia nā kamaliʻi hou mai nā poʻe mākua mai, no ka mea, e make ana lākou me ka loaʻa ole o kā lākou hana nui. Ma ka hoʻomaka, e noho nā keiki ma ka honua. ʻAʻole pono ka laweʻana iā lākou mai laila mai, hiki i ka wā e hiki ai.
Ehia mau olala oʻApelika? ʻOi maʻamau i kaʻelima aʻeono. Akā, ua ola lākou heʻumi.
