ʻO kā mākou mau mea aloha i alohaʻia, nā mīkini a me nā pāpī liʻiliʻi, heʻano likeʻole. ʻO lākou a pau i keʻano, ka halihali a me ka nānā. Akāʻo nā mea a pau o kāu pēpē,ʻehā mau pāpā, kahi huelo, aʻo keʻano, he loloa lōʻihi!
I kēia mau lā, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kaʻeha i nā pōpoki: pehea lā ko lākou inoa scientifically, no ke kumu o kā lākou lawelaweʻana a no ke kumu e paʻakikī loa ai kēia mau holoholona me kaʻaloʻole.
No ke aha i loaʻa ai i ka pipi kahi moa?
Hoʻohanaʻia mākou a pau i keʻano o ko mākou mauʻano heʻono, a ua like kēlā me kēia mea me kekahiʻano o ke kino kanaka. Akā i nā holoholona he mau mea likeʻole: i ka hiʻohiʻona maʻamau, kaʻala, ka lohe, ka paʻana a me ka ho'āʻoʻana a me nā mea like (eyes, nose, ears, limbs and tongues), ua hoʻohui houʻia kekahi, kokoke i keʻano o keʻano o keʻano o nā holoholona - kēia pale mīkini. I ka moʻonohopoi, kapaʻia lākou he "vibrissae". Loaʻaʻia ka inoa mai ka hua'ōlelo Latina vibrissae - vibrate, oscillate. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, he mau lauoho lōʻihi a paʻakikī hoʻi ia ma ka papa o ka holoholona, akā,ʻaʻole e like me ka uhi huluhulu maʻamau, i manaʻoʻia no ka uhiʻana i ke ahi, ua pili nā momona i ka lolo o ka holoholona me ke kōkuaʻana o nā kolahu nome a hana i kahi hana maʻalahi.
ʻO ka loina o kaʻoluʻolu i ka ola o ka pipi he nui loa. Ma muli o lākou, hiki i ka holoholona ke hoʻonui i ke kaiapuni i keʻano o kahi o nā mea, nā nui, a pēlā aku. ʻO kēia ka mea e hiki ai i kahi pōpō, i loko o ka pōʻeleʻele,ʻaʻole e hina i nā mea, akā, e hoʻopuni i nā wāwae o lākou. Holo kaʻike mai ka lewa i ka hulu, a mai ia mau mea i ka lolo, a me ka holoholona e hoʻonui i kahi manaʻo maikaʻi o ka mea e hoʻopuni ana iā ia, aiʻole e pili ana i kahi mea hou iʻimiʻia.
ʻO ka vibrissaeʻaʻole wale i nā pōpoki, akā i nā holoholona'ē aʻe he nui:'īlio,ʻiole, raccoons, moles, beavers, etc. He meaʻono ia e like me keʻano o ka'īlio i hana i kahi hana maʻalahi (ka holoholona, e like me ka hoʻopiliʻana i nā mea), aʻo nā mea laʻa a me nā sila e loaʻa i kahi mīkini koʻikoʻi e pili ana i ka loaʻaʻana o ka meaʻai ma lalo o ka wai.
He aha ka mea e hana ai inā he mustache ka'īlio?
ʻO ka uila no nā pōpoki iʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā maka, a pono paha e pani hou iā lākou. Uaʻikeʻo Science i nā kūlana i ka wā e hana maikaʻi ai nā pōpoki makapō me kaʻikeʻole i keʻano o ka hihiʻo.
Inā ua pau ka haʻaluluʻana o ka pipi no kekahi kumu, a laila, ua emi loa ka mākaukau o ka hoʻolālāʻana i ka hakahaka. E makapōʻo ia e like me nā makapō, e hoʻokuʻi i nā mea a me ka hoʻohuliʻole i ka kānalua. Me ke kōkuaʻana o ka hīkī, nā pōpī e kamaʻilio pū kekahi i kekahi, no laila, nā holoholona, nāna e hoʻonele i ka vibrissa, e hōʻoleʻia ma kahi o ka kamaʻilio me konaʻano pono'ī.
E like me kāu i hoʻomaopopo mua nei,ʻaʻole e'āponoʻia kaʻokiʻana i ka mīkini e hana i ka "pōkole" i kahi pōkole (e komo i ka hōʻike, iʻole). ʻAʻole i hāʻawi wale aku ka Nature i kēia mau holoholona i kēlāʻanoʻanoʻano leʻaleʻaʻano kūikawā, aʻaʻole loa e pono iā mākou ke hoʻonele i kā mākou mau pua nani no ka makemake o ko lākou mau manaʻo kuko.
He aha inā inā heʻumeke ka'īlio?
I ka manawa pinepine, e hoʻolaha nā mea nona ka pahu o kā lākou pahu pupule a me nāʻiole a nā mākua nui i waho, e hāʻule i lalo a wāwahi paha. ʻO kēlā me kēia mau pilikia he kumu pono kēlā, a pono e hoʻomaopopoʻia.
ʻO ka hapanui pinepine o ka'ōlohelohe i nā pōpoki no kaʻaiʻole,ʻo ia - me ka nele o ka punaha a me nā mea'ē aʻe. E noʻonoʻo inā eʻai pono kāu pipi, a inā pono, e hoʻoponopono hou i kānaʻai.
Hiki i nā pīpī ke lilo i mea maʻalahi a me ka pilau no ka hikiʻana o nā maʻi pale a me nā maʻi maʻi. I kēia hihia,ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka heleʻana i ke kauka e kōkua i ka hōʻailona a kuhikuhi i ka lāʻau kūpono.
E noʻonoʻo i ka pehea a me ka wā e pale ai ka moa i kāu pipi. Ma hope paha, ua hānaiʻia e nā keiki a hānaiʻia me ka manaʻo e ka'ōpiopio a me kahi'ē aʻe paha (kēia manawa i ka manawa e makemake ai kekahi holoholona e hōʻike i kona kiʻekiʻe ma luna aʻe o kekahi).
A i ka hopena, inā loaʻa iāʻoe kekahi'ōpiopio o ka pua Sphynx , a laila,ʻo keʻano o ka haʻalulu o konaʻeha i loko o keʻano maoli, aʻo ia ke kūlana paʻa loa.
