ʻO wai ka ʻoliʻoli ma ka honua? ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo, he holoholona liʻiliʻi kēia i kapa ʻia ʻo quokka! Nānā wale ʻoe i kāu "ʻuhane Hollywood." E ʻoliʻoli maikaʻi kēia mea hana, ʻoiai ke hiamoe nei. No ke aha he mea ʻaneʻaka loa ai ia? ʻO ka holoholona kwokka pili kekahi o ka kangaroo, akā hele i waho ke ʻano ʻeha nui e like me ka rodent liʻiliʻi. ʻO kēia mau mommia mai nā kauoha he ʻelua mau ʻāpana marsupial i ka ʻohana kangaroo.
Quokka (lat. Setonix brachyurus)
I kekahi manawa, i ka poʻe e noho ana ma kekahi mokupuni e kokoke ana ma ʻAmelika, kahi i noho ai ʻo Kwoks, hāʻawi lākou i kēia wahi i kahi inoa - "Rottnest", i unuhi ʻia mai ka Dutch ʻo "he wati o nā lālani." Wahi a no ke aha? No ka mea i ʻike lākou i ka holoholona liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻole hiki i ka poʻe ke noʻe a hiki i ka wā i mua o lākou he mini-kangaroo! Lawe lākou i kvokk no nā rodents maʻamau. E manaʻo ʻia he nui nā holoholona ma kēia ʻāina a ua kapa ʻia ka mokupuni ma hope o lākou.
He aha ka mea e like me ka quokka?
Ua ulu kēia holoholona i ka lōʻihi ʻaʻoleʻoi aku ma mua o 50 centimeter, he mea kūpaʻa ia mai ka 2 a hiki i 5 kilograms. Heʻuʻu ka hiʻu - 30 kenimika.
ʻO Quokki e like me like me nā kiʻi, ua ʻike ʻia lākou i ka manawa i loaʻa ai nā ʻano.
He mānoanoa a pōkole ka hulu o ka holoholona. Hoʻohā ʻia ia, ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, ma ke kala ʻulaʻula me kahi kiʻi ʻulaʻula.
Aia mahea o kvokka?
He mea hoihoi maikaʻi loa ka moʻolelo o nā nohona Quocc. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo kēia mau holoholona me ka weliweli loa i nā poʻe pōpoki: nā alopeke a me nā pōpoki hihiu. I ka wā e noho ai lākou ma uka kaiāulu Australia, akā i ka wā, ua ʻoki "nā ʻenemi maoli" i ka Kwok e "neʻe" e noho ma nā mokupuni e kokoke ana - Bald, Penguin a me Rottnest. A i kēia manawa ua noho kēia mau mini-kangaro ma kā lākou wahi, i kaawale i nā ʻenemi. ʻOiai naʻe, ua ola kekahi mau kānaka hūnā ma ka ʻāina nui.
ʻO ka ola kaʻe liʻiliʻi i ke ʻano
ʻO Kvokki, e like me ko lākou mau hoahānau kanaka, holo wikiwiki ma ka ʻāina. E alakaʻi ana ka holoholona i kahi ola nocturnal, ʻoiai i ke ao ʻaʻole mea e hoʻopiʻi iā ia e holo mālie a puni kāna wahi. ʻO kēia mau holoholona luhilahi. Hoʻokumu ʻia nā paila wale nō i ka wā hana. Ma ko lākou wahi no ka noho mālie e pono ai, koho ʻo Quocca i nā wahi momona e ulu maikaʻi ana nā mea kanu, no ka mea kanu.
Kangaroo kwokka i ka peke.
He nui nā ʻano nui o Quocci ma ko lākou wahi i noho ai, ʻike nā poʻe ʻepekema i ka nui o nā wahi o lākou he nui ʻole o nā kula no nā kānaka. Noho ka holoholona, ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, ʻoiai ke piʻi i luna o kahi kiʻekiʻe a i ka hapalua mika no ka meaʻai maikaʻiʻole.
ʻO ka mea e hoʻokomo ʻia i ka papa hana kaila mini
ʻO Quokki kahi lāʻau kanu hānai. Ke ʻimi nei lākou i kā lākou ʻai ma ka ʻāina, ma waena o nā lāʻau maloʻo maloʻo, akā, ke ʻike nei i ka pana hou ʻōpio ma kahi kiʻekiʻe, hiki iā lākou ke piʻi ma laila e ʻoli ma luna o lākou.
Ke hele nei ʻo Quokka e ʻahaʻaina i kahi lau ʻono.
Pehea ka hana hou ai i kahi holoholona wulu
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka mākele, hoʻomaka ka Quokki e hoʻokumu i kahi kapa - he mea kupaianaha kēia ke ʻike ʻia ʻole ʻia e kēia mau holoholona. Noho ka wahine i kahi o ka mahina. I ke kaʻina o ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana o kēia mau holoholona, ʻike ka ʻepekema i kahi mea ʻoi loa: inā ua make koke kahi pēpē, hānau koke ka wahine i ka lua, akā naʻe me ka hana ʻole o ke kāne!
He nāwaliwali loa ka pēpē hānau hānau. He makapō a māuli ʻole ia. No laila, ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, komo ʻo ia i loko o ka ʻeke a kona makuahine a ma laila, i loko o 5 mau mahina, ua loaʻa ka ikaika. Ke ulu maikaʻi nei ka quocca liʻiliʻi, ua kuhi ʻo ia mai ka ʻeke ʻeke a kona makuahine a hoʻomaka e ʻai ʻana i ka mauʻu ʻona.
E hoʻomākaukau ana kahi pēpē quokka no ke ola kūʻokoʻa.
Ma kahi o iwakālua mau makahiki ʻo Quocci puberty. A ola kēia mau mea luhi i nā kūlana o ka holoholona hihiu no 10 mau makahiki.
I loko o kahi zoo, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kahi hihia i ka wā o kahi quokka wahine 10 mau makahiki, ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he ʻelemakule, hoʻohua maoli ia i nā keiki a, ʻoi ka mea i pīhoihoi nui ai ka poʻe e hoʻopuni iā ia. Mahalo, me ke mālama maikaʻi, hiki i kēia holoholona ke noho lōʻihi ma mua o ke ʻano i hāʻawi ʻia iā ia i loko o ka kūlohelohe.
