Ka hānau ʻana o nā pōpoki a mālama iā lākou

He mea pono e hoʻomaopopo i nā mammals āpau i ka manaʻo makuahine ikaika, ua hōʻike maikaʻi ʻia i nā pōpoki. Hāʻawi ka makuahine-pōkole mālama iā ia iho i ka hānai ʻana i kāna mau keiki. ʻAʻole kēia he pōʻino, no ka mea, ʻike mākou a pau i ka hānau ʻana o nā kittens me ke kōkua ʻole, a ma ke ʻano maoli ke kuleana o ka pōpoki no kāna mau keiki.

E like me ke kānāwai, hoʻomaka ka estrus mua i loko o ka pōpoki ma 6-8 mau mahina, i ka wā o ka wā ʻōpio. Ma ke kino, i loko o kēia wā, hiki i ka pōpoki ke hāpai a hānau pono i nā pōpoki. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole hilinaʻi mau nā mea nona nā ʻano kūlohelohe, a kaupalena i ke kamaʻilio ʻana o ka pōpoki me nā "cavaliers" i mea e pale aku ai i nā pilikia olakino no kā lākou pipi. No ke kino o ia pōpoki ʻōpiopio, ʻo ka hāpai ʻana he hōʻike maoli. Eia kekahi, hānau pinepine nā kittens i kēia hihia i nāwaliwali, a i ka wā e hiki mai ana pinepine lākou i ka maʻi. No laila, ʻaʻole wikiwiki ka poʻe mālama mālama i ka male, a ke kali nei i ka estrus aʻe.

ʻO ka hāpai ʻana o ka pōpoki olakino ma kahi o 65 mau lā (hoʻohui a hōʻemi paha i nā lā 7). Ma muli o ke kino o ka pōpoki makuahine, hiki ke pi'i i ka 6 kittens i loko o ka pā. Inā ʻo ka ʻōpū ka mua, a laila ʻo ka maʻamau kēia he 1-3 pēpē.

He mea nui ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana inā lawe ka pōpoki i nā pēpē ma ka ʻāʻī o ka ʻāʻī i kahi ʻē, a laila ua pilikia kekahi mea iā ia ma kahi hoʻokahi. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e hoʻihoʻi iā ia i kahi ʻoluʻolu ʻole.

ʻO ka manawa nui ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o nā pōpoki ʻo ka hānai ʻana. Maʻaneʻi ka hana maikaʻi o nā keiki pipi, a loaʻa iā lākou ka nipple. ʻO ka hana a ka mea nona ka nānā ʻana i ke kaumaha o nā keiki i ulu like lākou a pau. Pono ka pōpoki i ke kōkua kūikawā inā hānau ʻia nā pōpoki he nui. I kēia hihia, ʻaʻole hiki i ka pōpoki ke hoʻokō pono i ka ukana, ʻaʻole lawa ka waiū. A laila pono ʻoe e mālama i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā huila kūikawā no nā pōpoki, a kūʻai paha i nā mea hoʻohui kūikawā no nā pōpoki e kōkua i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka nui o ka waiū.

Eia kekahi, ʻo ka makuahine-pōkē mālama e lūlū mau i nā pōpoki no ko lākou ulu ʻana.

He ʻelua mau lā wale nō ke keiki pipi, a ua wehe mua ʻo ia i kona mau maka, akā aia kekahi mau mea liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, e wehe wale ana nā maka i ka lā ʻumikumamāono. Ma ka awelika, hoʻomaka nā pēpē e ʻike i ka honua ma kahi o ka hiku o ka lā (ʻoi aku ka pōʻeleʻele o kahi e noho ai nā pōpoki, ʻoi aku ka mua o ka wehe ʻana o ko lākou mau maka), i ka manawa like e hoʻomaka ai lākou e kolo a hana i kā lākou mau kapuaʻi makaʻu mua. ma hope o hoʻokahi mahina ua hauʻoli nui lākou.

No laila, inā liʻiliʻi ka pōpoki kuleana i kāna mau pēpē, maʻemaʻe ko lākou wahi noho. Eia kekahi, hiki i kēia kaʻina hana i kahi pilina pili ma waena o ka makuahine pōpoki a me nā pōpoki. I ka hānau ʻana o ke keiki, hoʻomaka koke ka popoki e palu iā ia, ʻo ia hoʻi ka waha, ka mea e hoʻolalelale ai i ka ʻōpū hanu o ka pēpē, no ka mea, ua hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia ka ihu a me ka waha. Ma hope o ka hanu mua, hoʻonui ka māmā o ka pipi a hoʻomaka e hana.

Ma hope o ʻelua pule, ke aʻo nei nā pōpoki e palu iā lākou iho. He ʻoiaʻiʻo hoihoi: inā ʻaʻole mālama ka pōpoki i kāna mau pōpoki i ka wā kamaliʻi, a laila ma ke ʻano he pākeke, ʻaʻole lākou e ʻike ʻia e ka maʻemaʻe.

Hāʻawi pū ka licking i ka hana maikaʻi o ka ʻōnaehana excretory. Ma ka palu ʻana i ka lalo o ka ʻōpū o ka pēpē a me kona ʻōpū, hoʻoikaika ka pōpoki i ka neʻe ʻana o ka ʻōpū. ʻIke ʻia nā pōpoki no ko lākou maʻemaʻe, a inā mākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kahi moe me nā pōpoki, mālama mau lākou i ka maʻemaʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi, hoʻokomo lākou i ka maʻemaʻe i kā lākou mau keiki. A i ka hiki ʻana o nā keiki pipi i hoʻokahi mahina, hoʻomaka ka makua kuleana e aʻo iā lākou e hele i ka lua i ko lākou iho.

He mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo ua hoʻolakoʻia nā mea a pau ma keʻano, no laila,ʻaʻohe pono e hoʻopilikia i ke kaʻina hana o ka hoʻokumuʻana i kahi pilina pili ma waena o ka pōpoki a me nā pipi. ʻOi aku ka mamao o ka pūnana ʻohana mai ka nānā ʻana i nā maka, ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka pōpoki. ʻOi aku ka nui o ka hoʻopilikia ʻana o ke kanaka i ke kaʻina hana maoli o ka hānai ʻana, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka haʻalele ʻana o ka pōpoki i kāna mau keiki.

I ka hiki ʻana i nā makahiki ʻeono, lilo nā pōpoki mai nā holoholona pale ʻole i mea hana a pāʻani. A ʻoiai he mau pipi lākou, ua loaʻa iā lākou nā ʻano predatory kūlohelohe e kōkua iā lākou e pale iā lākou iho a pale i nā kūlana pōʻino.

ʻO ka ulu ʻana o kahi holoholona liʻiliʻi, e like me ke kanaka, aia i nā pae he nui, e pili ana kēlā me kēia i ke ʻano o kahi holoholona makua.

E like me ka mea i haʻi mua ʻia, inā hāpai ka pōpoki no ka manawa mua, hiki iā ia ke hānau i ʻekolu mau pōpoki. Mai lawe mai i na keiki nui a me na popoki kahiko. ʻO ka mea hope loa, hiki mai ka manawa i ka wā e nalowale loa ai ka pōpoki i ka makahiki i ka hiki ke hana i nā keiki, ʻoiai ʻaʻole hele nā ​​manaʻo makuahine i nā wahi āpau. No laila, aia kekahi mau manawa e ʻae ai nā pōpoki kahiko i nā pōpoki hele hewa no lākou.

ʻO ka manawa koʻikoʻi i ke ola o kahi pipi ʻo nā pule mua ʻelua o kona ola. Inā hoʻokumu nā pēpē i kēia mau lā i kahi pilina pili me ka pōpoki, mālama pono ʻo ia i nā mea a pau a mālama pono i nā mea a pau, hiki iā mākou ke kamaʻilio palekana e pili ana i ka ulu olakino o nā cubs, ʻaʻole wale ma ke ʻano o ke olakino kino, akā ma ke ʻano o ka ʻano ʻano.

I loko nō hoʻi o ka ʻohana pōpoki, paʻa nā mea a pau me ke aʻo ʻana. Ke nānā mau nei ka makuahine pōpoki i ka ʻano o kāna mau keiki, a inā hewa kekahi, e hoʻopaʻi maoli ʻo ia iā ia. No ka laʻana, inā ʻeha ke keiki i pāʻani i kona makuahine, e "wehewehe" ʻo ia iā ia ʻaʻole hiki ke hana i kēia ma ka hahau māmā ʻana i ka pipi ma ka ihu me kona wāwae. No laila, hiki ke ʻike ʻia ʻo nā keiki pipi i hānai ʻia ma ka hānai ʻana a me ka nānā ʻole ʻana o ka makuahine, ma kekahi ʻano, ʻaʻole liʻiliʻi ka mana ma luna o kā lākou ʻano, a ʻoi aku ka huhū.

E hoʻomaka ana mai ka pule ʻehā o ke ola, hiki ke maʻa nā pōpoki ikaika i nā meaʻai hoʻohui. I ka lilo ʻana o nā pēpē i mea kūʻokoʻa, hiki i ka pōpoki ke noho lōʻihi no ka manawa lōʻihi, a ʻoi aku ka nānā pinepine ʻana i kāna mau keiki mai ka ʻaoʻao. Aia kekahi mau loli i ke kaʻina hana hānai: ʻaʻole hele ka pōpoki i kāna mau keiki ponoʻī, akā ke kali nei lākou e hele mai i ona lā, ʻoiai ʻo ia e kāhea iā lākou me kahi meow kūikawā.

I loko o kēia wā o ka ulu ʻana i nā pōpoki, pono nā mea nona ke kāohi iā lākou iho, a keʻakeʻa i ka liʻiliʻi i ka hana o ka hoʻonaʻauao. Ke alakaʻi ʻia e ke aloha a me ka mālama ʻana i nā hua ulu, hiki i nā mea nona ke koi i ka pōpoki e noho pū me nā keiki. Akā ʻaʻole makemake ʻia e hana pēlā, ma ke ʻano maoli ua noʻonoʻo ʻia nā mea āpau. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, hiki i nā pōpoki pāʻani ke hoʻonāukiuki i ka pōpoki makuahine, e hoʻomaha ʻole ʻo ia, a e hāʻawi ʻia kēia i nā keiki, a ʻo ia hoʻi, e hana pono ʻole kekahi i kekahi. Ua piha kēia kūlana me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e noho mau ka aggressiveness i ke ʻano o nā pākeke.

Hōʻike ʻia ka lua o ka mahina o ke ola o nā kittens e nā pāʻani lōʻihi, kahi e hoʻomohala ai lākou i nā mākau kamaʻilio a aʻo i ka hopu. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, pono lākou i kahi ākea hou aʻe, a hoʻomaka lākou e ʻimi ikaika i nā wahi a puni, e waiho ana i ko lākou wahi moe.

A i kēia manawa hiki mai ka manawa e hiki ai i nā mea nona ke hōʻike i ko lākou aloha a me ka mālama ʻana, no ka mea, mai ʻelua mahina e hoʻomaka ai nā pēpē e aʻo e noho i loko o ke kaiāulu.

Ke hānau ʻia nā pōpoki liʻiliʻi, hōʻike ka pōpoki iā ia iho i kahi ala hou loa i nā maka o nā mea nona. Lilo ʻo ia i holoholona mālama a mālie, mākaukau mau e pale i kāna mau keiki. ʻO nā pēpē pale ʻole e hoʻāla i ka manaʻo o ke aloha a me ka mālama ʻana ʻaʻole wale mai ka makuahine pōpoki, akā mai kāna mau mea nona hoʻi. No laila, pono ʻoe e hoʻomanaʻo a hoʻomaopopo i kēia manawa ke piʻi nui nei ke kuleana o nā mea nona. Akā ʻo ka nānā ʻana i ka ulu ʻana o nā pōpoki he mea hoihoi loa ia, no ka mea, i kēlā me kēia lā me lākou he kai o nā manaʻo maikaʻi (koe naʻe nā kūlana i hiki ai i nā pōpoki makua ke hana hewa).
