Nā kiʻi paʻi poʻe kokoke me kahi quokka minoʻaka ua hoʻopiha i ka pūnaewele. ʻAʻole makaʻu iki kēia mau marsupial Australia nani i ka poʻe, akā hoihoi nui lākou a hoʻomana wale i ka nānā i kā lākou iho.
Holoholona ʻo Kwokku a i ʻole kapa ʻia he huelo pōkole kangaroo... ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka nui o ka quokka makua i ka nui o ka pōpoki kūloko nui a i ʻole kahi ʻīlio awelika.
ʻAʻole lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ke kino ma mua o ka hapalua mika, a ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka huelo ma mua o kanakolu kenimika, ʻaʻole ikaika loa, a ʻaʻole hiki ke hana i ke kākoʻo, e like me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe o ka ʻohana kangaroo.
Uhi ʻia ka quokka me ka lauoho pōkole a hina hina a hina me ka ʻulaʻula a ʻoi aku ka māmā o ke kala o ka ʻōpū. Ākea a poepoe nā pepeiao, e puka iki ana mai ka huluhulu. ʻO ke kaumaha o ka quokka maʻa mau mai ka ʻelua a me ka hapa a i ka ʻelima mau kilokika.
He 32 mau niho liʻiliʻi o Kwokka i loko o kāna waihona mea kaua, ua nalowale nā ʻīlio, hoʻokahi haneli i pale ʻole iā lākou i mua o ka pilikia. Ua lanakila ka minoʻaka o kahi kangaroo liʻiliʻi i ka honua, akā he kakaikahi ka poʻe e ʻike i ke kumu e minoʻaka maoli ai ʻo Quokka.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hoʻomaha wale nā mākala ʻāʻī a hoʻomaha hoʻi ma hope o ka nau pono ʻana i ka meaʻai, a ma waho e nānā mākou i kahi minoʻaka e hohola ana i kahi helehelena nani.
Nā hiʻohiʻona a me nā wahi noho
ʻO Quokka ʻaʻole pālahalaha holoholona... Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa iā ia ma Australia wale nō ma nā mokupuni ma waho o ke kahakai o ka ʻāina ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Ua kapa ʻia kekahi o kēia mau mokupuni e ka Hōlani “Rottnest”, ʻo ia hoʻi “Nest of Rat”.
A loaʻa i kēia mokupuni kēia inoa no ke kumu (ma hope o nā mea āpau, ʻaʻohe ʻiole ma laila), akā hoʻomaikaʻi pololei i kāna poʻe ʻōpio uʻi - kangaroos quokkas, kahi e like loa me nā rodents.
ʻO ke ʻano a me ka nohona
Alakaʻi nui ia i ka nohona pō, no ka mea i ke ao he nui loa nā mea ʻai pōloli pōloli e hele wāwae ana i nā mokupuni, kahi quokkas hiki ʻole ke pale aku. ʻO nā ʻīlio, nā ʻalopeke, nā pōpoki a me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe, hauʻoli mau i ka ʻahaʻaina ʻana i nā pio he maʻalahi. I ka hihia o ka makaʻu, hoʻomaka ka quokka e kīkēkē nui ma ka honua me kāna mau wāwae.
I nā manawa maʻamau, makemake ka quokkas e mālama i kā lākou kaʻawale a noho kaʻawale, ka pālua ʻana i nā pālua wale nō i nā mahina hoʻoilo i mea e male ai a hoʻomau i kā lākou ʻano ponoʻī.
ʻO ka meaʻai Quokka
ʻO kēia mau pēpē o ka kangaroo honua he mau mea ulu wale. No kēia kumu, koho lākou i nā wahi momona i nā lau nahele no ko lākou noho ponoʻī ʻana, nā wahi ʻāpana nui. Eia nō hoʻi, mahalo i nā wāwae hope ikaika, e like me nā holoholona kangaroo, piʻi maʻalahi nā quokkas i nā kumulāʻau i kahi kiʻekiʻe o hoʻokahi a me ka hapa mika no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā ʻōpio.
ʻO ka hana hou a me ke ola o kahi quokka
ʻO ke kāne a me ka wahine wahine no hoʻokahi kau hānau wale. Ma hope koke o ka hānau ʻana o ka pēpē, haʻalele ka kāne i ka ʻohana. Ma muli o nā kūlana anilā maikaʻi, ʻaʻole pili ka wā hānau o kahi quokka i ka mahina a i ke kau, no laila hiki i ka wahine ke hāpai i kēlā me kēia manawa. I ka lua o ka lā ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, mākaukau hou ka wahine no ka pā ʻana a hiki ke hānau i ka lua o ka pēpē i loko o hoʻokahi mahina ma hope o ka mua.
Akā wale nō i ka lima o ka malama o ke ola, wehe ka maka o kahi pēpē quokka a me nā auricle, ulu ʻo ia i ka lauoho a aʻo e ʻai i kāna iho. Noho ka hapai ma kahi o iwakāluakūmāhiku mau lā. Ma hope o ka male ʻana, hana mau ʻia nā embryo ʻelua i wahine wahine quokka. Inā make ka mea mua, a laila hoʻomaka ka lua e hoʻomohala.
Inā ola ka mea mua, a laila aia ka lua o ka embryo i kahi ʻano kūʻē o ka hoʻolōʻihi ʻia a hiki i ka lilo ʻana o ka mea makua i kanaka makua, a laila hoʻomaka ka ulu ʻana. No laila, i hoʻokahi kau moʻo, hānau kahi wahine quokka ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku i hoʻokahi cub.
ʻO ka awelika o ke ola o kahi quokka i kona wahi maoli ma kahi o ʻumi mau makahiki. A piʻi pinepine lākou i ka wā ʻōpio i ka makahiki ʻelua o ke ola.
ʻOiai ua helu ʻia ka quokka i loko o ka Red Book ma ke ʻano he mammal palupalu, akā ma nā mokupuni kahi i loaʻa ʻole ai nā pōpoki predatory a me nā ʻalopeke i lawe ʻia mai ʻEulopa, manaʻo lākou, kupaianaha loa. Ua hōʻea kā lākou helu i kahi māka i ka manawa ʻaʻole lawa ka hānai no ka heluna lehulehu holoʻokoʻa.
Ua koi ʻia ka poʻe e hopu i kēia mau holoholona a hoʻouna iā lākou no kahi noho mau i nā ʻano holoholona like ʻole a puni ka honua. E like me nā holoholona exotic, aia nō he amateur e makemake ana e kiʻi i kahi quokka i ke ʻano o kahi holoholona.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, nui a hewahewa nā ala e hoʻokō ai i kēlā moeʻuhane, akā ʻaʻole ʻoe e manaʻo i kēlā kumu kūʻai no ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi quokka e haʻahaʻa a hiki i kēlā me kēia (e kamaʻilio ana no ke kumukūʻai, ʻaʻole mākou i ka nui o ke kālā, akā ʻo ka kuleana kalaima e hiki ke hana ʻia no ka puki ʻana i kahi holoholona i loko o ka puke ʻulaʻula.
Hoʻohui ʻia, nui nā nuances i ka ʻike o ka holoholona, kahi āu e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ai iā ʻoe iho ma mua o ka kūʻai ʻana. ʻO ka mālama ʻana i kahi quokka i ka home ke lilo i mea paʻakikī loa.
Malia paha, inā ʻoe e noho i kahi hale pilikino me kahi māla nui a me kahi loko malumalu malumalu, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hana hou i nā kūlana kūpono no ia holoholona, akā inā loaʻa ke ʻano o ka nele o nā pōpoki a me nā ʻīlio, kahi e hiki ʻole ai i ka quokka liʻiliʻi ke hoʻopili aku.
ʻO ka palena palena, ka nele o ka ea hou a me nā mea kanu ʻōmaʻomaʻo maʻamau o ka quokka e hoʻoluhi ka holoholona, ʻeha a ʻeha hoʻi. Ma ka laulaha, ʻaʻole pono e lilo kēia holoholona nani a aloha i kekahi hihia home quokka.
ʻO ka kiʻi quokka pēpē i kiʻi ʻia
Inā ikaika loa kou makemake e launa pū me kēia mau mea hoʻokalakupua i hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke lanakila ma luna ou, no laila e kūʻai paha ʻoe i kahi likiki mokulele a lele i Australia?
Ma waho aʻe o ka quokka, e ʻike ʻoe i kahi helu kūwaho o ka exotic, nani, weliweli a ʻaʻole holoholona loa, e kiʻi i kahi nui o nā manaʻo hou, hoʻopiha i kāu waihona ʻike me nā mea hou, hoihoi a hoʻonui i kāu iho ponoʻī.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e lele i kahi hālāwai me kahi quokka a waiho i kou hoʻomanaʻo i kēia huakaʻi hoihoi i ka hopena ʻē aʻe o ka honua, a, i ka manawa like, e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i ka heluna o nā kangaroo minoʻaka liʻiliʻi, me ke aloha a me ka hilinaʻi pau ʻole, e launa pū me nā poʻe.
