Ke kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i nā dinosaur, ʻo nā kiʻi e puka mai ana i loko o ko kākou manaʻo, ʻo ia kēlā mau kiʻi nunui: ʻo Tyrannosaurus rex waha ākea, ʻo ka velociraptor agile, a me nā pilikua ʻāʻī lōʻihi i like me ka hiki ʻana i ka lewa. Me he mea lā ʻaʻohe o lākou ʻano like me nā holoholona o kēia au, ʻeā?
Akā inā wau i haʻi aku iā ʻoe ʻaʻole i pau loa nā dinosaur—a ʻike ʻia hoʻi i loko o kāu lumi kuke i kēlā me kēia lā—manaʻo paha ʻoe e hoʻohenehene nei au.
E manaʻoʻiʻo paha ʻaʻole paha, ʻo ka holoholona i pili loa i nā dinosaurs…ka moa!
Mai ʻakaʻaka—ʻaʻole kēia he ʻakaʻaka, akā he noiʻi ʻepekema paʻa. Ua unuhi nā kānaka ʻepekema i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o ka protein collagen mai nā mōʻalihaku T. rex i mālama pono ʻia a hoʻohālikelike iā lākou me nā holoholona o kēia wā. ʻO ka hopena kupanaha:
ʻOi aku ka kokoke o ke kaʻina protein o Tyrannosaurus rex i ko ka moa, ukali ʻia e ka ostrich a me ke crocodile.
He aha ke ʻano o kēia?
ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo ka moa āu e ʻai ai i kēlā me kēia lā he "dinosaur hulu liʻiliʻi" ia.
ʻAʻole he mea kupanaha ke ʻōlelo nei kekahi poʻe he ʻono paha ka moa palai i nā dinosaur—ʻoi aku ka ʻala, ka ʻōlinolino, a maʻalahi hoʻi ke nau.
Akā no ke aha he moa, ʻaʻole he crocodiles, ka mea e like me nā dinosaur?
He maʻalahi ke kumu:
* ʻAʻole nā manu he ʻohana mamao o nā dinosaur; he **mau mamo pololei lākou na nā dinosaur theropod**, ʻo ia ka hui like me nā velociraptors a me T. rex.
* ʻOiai he kahiko nā moʻo kolo, he mau “hoahānau mamao” wale nō lākou o nā dinosaur.
ʻOi aku ka hoihoi, he nui nā mōlina dinosaur e hōʻike ana i nā kiʻi o nā hulu. ʻO ke ʻano kēia, ua like paha nā dinosaur he nui me ... nā moa nunui ma mua o kā mākou i manaʻo ai!
No laila, i ka manawa aʻe e ʻai ai ʻoe i kahi meaʻai, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻōlelo me ka ʻakaʻaka, "Ke ʻai nei au i nā wāwae dinosaur i kēia lā."
He leo lapuwale ia, akā, he ʻoiaʻiʻo ia ma ka ʻepekema.
ʻOiai ua haʻalele nā dinosaur i ka Honua 65 miliona mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ke hoʻomau nei lākou i ke ola ma kahi ʻano ʻē aʻe—e holo ana a puni nā wahi a pau e like me nā manu, a ʻike ʻia ma nā papa ʻaina e like me nā moa.
I kekahi manawa, ʻoi aku ka kilokilo o ka ʻepekema ma mua o nā ʻakaʻaka.
