UQuokka ungowomndeni wekhangaru futhi ufana ngokuqinile nekhangaru enkulu ngokubukeka. Kodwa-ke, ubukhulu balesi silwane buncane kakhulu - abukhudlwana kunekati elijwayelekile lasekhaya.
Quokka - incazelo
Umndeni wama-kangaroo uhlanganisa izinhlobo eziningi zezilwane ezinokuhlukahluka okuningi. Kodwa i-quokka inesici esithile esivela kuye kuphela - umsila omfushane kakhulu. Lesi sakhi somzimba sisetshenziswa ngenkuthalo kuzo zonke izilwane ze-kangaroo njengokwesekwa. Ngenxa yomsila, iningi lezinhlobo zama-kangaroo ziyakwazi ukuzivikela, lishaya isitha ngemilenze yangemuva eqinile. Umsila omncane kaQuokka awukuvumeli lokhu.
Lesi silwane esincane esigxumayo simbozwe izinwele eziphakathi nendawo. Umbala uvame ukuba bomvu, kwesinye isikhathi ube nombala ompunga. Yonke indawo ebonakalayo yomzimba wequokka imbozwe ngoboya, ngaphandle komsila namathiphu wezidladla. Isikhumba kulezi zindawo simnyama, sicishe sibe mnyama.
Imilenze yangemuva yeQuokka inamandla, ikuvumela ukuba weqe. Imilenze yangaphambilini imfishane futhi ibuthakathaka. Ngosizo lwabo, isilwane sithatha futhi siphethe ukudla. Uquokka udla utshani, amaqabunga, amahlumela nezithelo zezihlahla.
Indlela yokuphila ye-Quokka
Ngokomlando, i-quokka, njengamanye ama-kangaroo, yayisakazeke cishe kulo lonke elase-Australia (uhlu lwezilwane e-Australia). Kepha ngokuqala kokuhlala okusebenzayo kwezwekazi, inani labantu laqala ukwehla kakhulu. Isizathu salokhu kwakungekhona ukuzingelwa ngokungemthetho kwebanal noma ukuthuthukiswa kwezimboni, kodwa izilwane ezingenisiwe.
UQuokka yisidalwa esingakwazi ukuzivikela. Akazi ukuthi angalwa kanjani njengekhangaru enkulu, futhi akaguquguquki ukuhlangabezana nezilwane ezidla ezinye. Ngaphezu kwalokho! Akukaze kube nezilwane ezinkulu ezizingelayo endaweni yazo. Ngakho-ke, izitha eziyinhloko nababhubhisi be-quokk kwakungamakati nezinja ezijwayelekile, eza nabantu.
Namuhla, lesi silwane esincane sihlala eziqhingini zaseBald, Rottnest nasePenguin, eseduze ne-Australia. Futhi kutholakala ezwekazini esifundeni sedolobha lase-Albany. Indawo ejwayelekile ye-quokka yizinkundla ezinotshani ezomile nezihlahlana eziminyene.
Lapho izimo zokuphila zingakhululeki, ama-quokkas ayakwazi ukuthuthela futhi ahambele ezindaweni ezingajwayelekile. Ngakho-ke, ngesikhathi sesomiso esikhulu, bathutha kakhulu baya ezindaweni ezingamaxhaphozi, lapho bathola inani elamukelekayo lomswakama wamanzi nomoya.
Iquokka yisilwane sasebusuku. Ubona kahle ngokwanele, umuzwa ojulile wokuhogela nokuzwa. Ngesikhathi sasemini, izilwane azikhombisi msebenzi, zivame ukucasha ehlathini.
I-Quokka inesici sokudlala esithandeka kakhulu. Ngemuva kokukhwelana, insikazi ayakheki eyodwa, kodwa imibungu emibili ngasikhathi sinye. Ngaphezu kwalokho, enye yazo iqala ukukhula, kanti eyesibili iya esigabeni sokuphumula.
Njengawo wonke amalungu omndeni we-kangaroo, i-quokka inesikhwama sokuthwala inzalo. Uzala izinyane elilodwa futhi umondla esikhwameni isikhathi eside. Ngalesi sikhathi, umbungu wesibili uqala ukukhula futhi uzalwe ngemuva kokuthi "umfowabo omdala" eshiye isikhwama sikanina. Ngakho-ke, owesifazane udlula ezigabeni zokukhulelwa okubili ngemuva komhlangano owodwa nowesilisa.
Quokka nendoda
Ososayensi banikeze isimo "sezinhlobo ezisengozini" ku-quokka. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngaphandle kokuthatha izinyathelo zokubhaliswa nokongiwa, inani lezilwane lingaqala ukwehla kakhulu. Njengoba kunikezwe ukuthi impande kahle ezimweni zokufakelwa, umuntu uvame ukugcina i-quokka ekhaya. Kuma-zoo ahlukahlukene nasezindaweni zezivakashi, ungathinta futhi wondle ne-kwokka. Ubuso obuthinta ngokumangazayo balesi silwane kuyaqabukela bushiya izivakashi zingenandaba, futhi isimanga se-photogenicity simangalisa futhi siholela kakhulu kuzikhathi zonke zezithombe.
