He holoholona marsupial liʻiliʻi ʻo Quokka ma ka hema komohana o ʻAukekulia. ʻO kēia holoholona ka lunamakaʻāinana liʻiliʻi loa o ka wallaby (kahi ʻano o nā mammals marsupial, ka ʻohana kangaroo).
Ka wehewehe o ka quokka
He ʻokoʻa loa ʻo Quokka mai nā paia ʻē aʻe, a ʻo kona kumu ma ka ʻāinapuniʻole ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he hazy.
Helehelena
ʻO Quokka kahi paia liʻiliʻi me ka kino kino a pōʻai... ʻOi aku ka pōkole o kona mau wāwae hope a me ka huelo ma mua o nā lālā ʻē aʻe o ka laha like. ʻO ke ʻano o ke kino, a me nā wāwae hope ikaika, e ʻae i ka holoholona e lele maʻalahi ma luna o ka ʻāina me ka mauʻu kiʻekiʻe, ʻoiai e loaʻa ana ka wikiwiki. Hana ka huelo i kahi hana kākoʻo. ʻO ka hulu mānoanoa o Quokka he huhū, maʻamau a ʻeleʻele i ke kala. Loaʻa paha i nā ʻulaʻula ʻulaʻula a puni ka maka a me ka ʻāʻī, a ʻoi aku ka māmā o ka ʻahu ma kēia mau wahi.
Me kona kino poepoe, he mau pepeiao pepeiao liʻiliʻi ko ka holoholona, ʻaʻohe puka i waho o kona ihu poepoe i uhi ʻia me ka ihu resinous ʻeleʻele. ʻAʻole like me nā ʻano wallaby ʻē aʻe, aneane nele ka huelo o ka quokka i ka huluhulu, uhi ʻia me nā huluhulu wanaʻao bristly, a hana ka mea ponoʻī ma ke ʻano he mea kaulike no ka lele ʻana. ʻO 25-30 mau kenimika kona lōʻihi.
Hoihoi ia!ʻO kēia marsupial kekahi o nā wallabies liʻiliʻi loa a ʻōlelo pinepine ʻia e like me quokka i ka slang Australia kūloko. Hōʻike ʻia kekahi ʻano e kekahi lālā. He kuʻi nui ko ka quokka, pūlou i hope a pōkole loa nā wāwae i mua. ʻO nā kāne ma ka awelika ke kaupaona ʻia 2.7-4.2 kilokika, wahine - 1.6-3.5. ʻOi aku ka nui o ke kāne.
ʻO ka mōʻaukala, ua pālahalaha nui kēia holoholona a noho ʻia i nā ʻaoʻao kahakai ʻekolu o ka hema komohana o Australia. Eia nō naʻe, i kēia lā ua kaupalena ʻia ka hāʻawi ʻana i ʻekolu mau wahi mamao, aia wale nō ma ka ʻāina nui o ʻAukekulelia. ʻIke ʻia ʻo Quokka i loko o ka ulu lāʻau ākea, hāmama a ma nā wahi kokoke i ka wai hou. Hiki i ka poʻe makemake ke loaʻa iā ia ma waho o nā kahawai.
Ka nohona ola, hana
ʻIke ʻia ʻo Quokkas ma nā wahi kokoke i nā kumu wai hou. ʻOiai ʻo ka ʻoi aku o kā lākou makemake e loaʻa kahi kino o ka wai ma kahi kokoke, loaʻa lākou i ka hapa nui o ka momona ma o ka nau ʻana a me ka lawe ʻana i ka wai mai nā mea kanu. ʻO kēia mau marsupial he mea makemake nui i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā tunnels, kahi mea e pono ai lākou i ka wā e hiki mai ana i mea e hūnā koke ai me nā mea hoʻopunipuni.
Pehea ka lōʻihi o ke ola ʻana o kahi quokka
Noho ʻo Quokkas ma ka awelika ma kahi o 10 mau makahiki i ka nāhelehele a hiki i ka 14 mau makahiki i ka noho pio ʻana, ke hāʻawi ʻia nā ʻano kūpono no ka mālama ʻana i hana ʻia.
Dimorphism moekolohe
ʻAʻole haʻi ʻia ka dimorphism moekolohe: ke nānā aku ke kāne ma mua o ka wahine.
Kahi noho, nā wahi noho
ʻO Agonis kahi mea kanu i pili i ke kūkulu hema o ʻAukekulia... Noho pinepine ʻo Quokka ma kahi kokoke i nā wahi ulu o kēia mea kanu. Hāʻawi ka lau nahele kanu i ka pale no kēia holoholona ma ka ʻāina nui mai nā ʻano mea ʻaihue āpau. Hāʻawi kahi mea kanu like i puʻuhonua no ka laha i nā lā wela ma ka Mokupuni ʻo Rottnest. Ma muli o ko lākou pono hypertrophied no ka wai, pono mau kēia mau holoholona e kokoke i nā kumu wai wai.
Hoʻopili ʻo Quokkas i nā wahi ulu ulu ma nā wā mua ma hope o ke ahi. Ma kahi o ʻeiwa a ʻumi mau makahiki paha ma hope o ke ahi, hāʻawi nā mea kanu hou i ka holoholona me kahi momona o ka momona. Ma hope o kēia manawa koʻikoʻi, e hoʻopuehu paha nā quokkas i ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi nohona hou. Eia nō naʻe, hiki i kēia ke lilo i mea weliweli loa, no ka mea, ʻo ka huakaʻi lōʻihi ka mea e hoʻoweliweli ai iā ia i kahi predator. Kūpono ʻo Quokka i nā hoʻololi kau o ke ola ʻana i nā wahi semi-arid.
Meaʻai Quokka
E like me nā ʻano wallaby ʻē aʻe, 100% ka mea ʻai ʻole ka quokka. Kēia 'o ia hoʻi i kona herbivorousʻai komo wale nō o nā mea kanu e uhi ana i ka puni. Hoʻokomo nui ʻia ka papa kuhikuhi i nā mea kanu like ʻole e hoʻopili i nā tunnels i kūkulu ʻia e ka holoholona no ka puʻuhonua, ʻoiai aia lākou ma waena o nā mea ulu nunui a kiʻekiʻe.
ʻAi lākou i nā lau, nā huaʻai, a me nā hua ke loaʻa. ʻOiai ʻo Kwokka e noʻonoʻo nui i ka meaʻai ma ka honua ma ke ʻano he kumuʻai, hiki nō ke piʻi i kahi mika ma kahi lāʻau inā pono. ʻAi kēia ʻano paia i ka meaʻai me ka nau ʻole. A laila kuha i nā mea i hoʻohemo ʻole ʻia i ke ʻano o ka gum, a hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia. ʻOiai ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka pono e loaʻa i ka wai, hiki i kvokka ke hana me ka ʻole o ka wai no kahi manawa lōʻihi.
Hoʻohua a me nā keiki
Hana ʻia ka wā hānau no nā quokkas i nā mahina anuanu, ʻo ia ma waena o Ianuali a me Malaki. I kēia manawa, hala ka mahina ma hope o ka hānau ʻana o ka pēpē aʻe, a mākaukau ka wahine no ka hānau hou. Hānau nā wahine wahine i hoʻokahi pēpē. ʻO ka manawa hānau ma kahi o hoʻokahi mahina. Eia nō naʻe, i ka lawe pio ʻana, hiki i ka hānau hānau ke holo i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa.
Ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, hānai ʻia nā pēpē mai ko lākou makuahine i loko o kahi ʻeke ma kahi o ʻeono mau mahina, e hoʻomau nei i ka hoʻomohala kino... Ma hope o 6 mau mahina, hoʻomaka ka cub e ʻimi i kona wahi ponoʻī, ke hoʻomau nei i ka kokoke i ka wahine, e hānai ana i kāna waiū umauma. Hiki i kēia ke hala i mau mahina. ʻAʻole hāʻawi nā kāne i nā keiki me ka mālama a nā mākua, ʻoiai e pale pono ana i ka wahine i ka wā o ka hāpai ʻana.
Hoihoi ia!ʻOkoʻa ka nohona kaiāulu ma waena o nā quokkas wahine a me nā kāne. Hōʻalo nā wahine e kāpae i ka hui o kēlā me kēia, ʻoiai ke kāne i kekahi manawa e launa me ka wahine, e hana ana i kahi hierarchy kikoʻī e pili ana i ke kaupaona / nui o kāna mau holoholona.
ʻO ka maʻamau, koho kūʻokoʻa nā wahine quokka i kahi kāne a lākou e male. Inā hōʻole ka wahine i ka noho kāne male, e haʻalele ʻo ia a hāʻawi i kāna lawelawe i kahi lede ʻē aʻe, me ka manaʻo e loaʻa ka pānaʻi. Inā makemake ka wahine i ka cavalier, pili kokoke ʻo ia iā ia a ma nā ala āpau e hōʻailona iā ia makemake ʻo ia i ka hānau hou. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā kāne kāne kaumaha i ka hierarchy.
Hiki i ke kāne kāne koʻikoʻi ke hakakā no ka wahine me kekahi kāne kāne o ke kūlana haʻahaʻa. Hoʻomaka ke kāne e mālama a pale i kāna wahine wale nō ma hope o ka hānau ʻana. Hana ʻia kahi pālua no 1 a 2 mau wā hānau. He polygamous kēia mau holoholona, no laila ʻo kēlā me kēia lālā o ka pālua he pinepine nā hoa ʻē aʻe "ma ka ʻaoʻao". I nā wahine mai 1 a 3, i nā kāne a hiki i 5 mau wahine i loaʻa.
Loaʻa ke kino makua o Quokka ma waena o nā makahiki he ʻumi a me ʻumikūmālua mau mahina. Ma hope o ka hānau ʻana, hui hou ka makuahine me ke kāne a kū ka diapause embryonic. Ma ka maʻalahi, he hauʻoli kēia mau holoholona i nā ʻano hana pale o ka hānau ʻana. Inā i loko o nā mahina ʻeono mua o ke ola make ka pēpē, hānau ʻo ia i kahi pēpē ʻelua, a no kēia mea ʻaʻole pono ia e momona hou ʻia e ke kāne, aia nō i loko o ka embryo a hiki i ka paʻahau a hoʻomohala ke kaukaʻi inā ola ke keiki mua.
ʻEnemi kūlohelohe
Ma mua o ka hōʻea ʻana o ka poʻe kolone o ʻEulopa i nā wahi kai o ke komohana hema o Australia, ua ulu ka heluna kanaka quokka a pālahalaha i kēlā wahi. Me ka hōʻea ʻana o ka poʻe i ia wahi, ua hōʻea mai nā holoholona he nui e like me nā pōpoki, ʻalopeke a me nā ʻīlio. Eia kekahi, ʻo nā wahi kanaka i huki i ka maka o nā holoholona hihiu, e laʻa me nā ʻīlio Dingo a i ʻole nā manu manu lele. Mai ka hoʻolauna ʻana o kēia mau mea ʻino i ka quokka habitat, ua emi nui ko lākou heluna kanaka. I kēia manawa, kaupalena ʻia kēia mau marsupial i nā wahi kikoʻī i nā ʻeke he nui o ko lākou wahi maoli ma Australia nui.
Hoihoi ia!Mai ka makahiki 1930, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka heluna kanaka quokka i nā wahi i koe ʻekolu (aia ʻelua ma nā mokupuni) ma muli o ka hoʻolauna ʻia ʻana o nā mea ʻino ma mua o ka holoholona. ʻO ka "ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula" i hiki mai i ʻAukekulelia me nā poʻe noho ʻEulopa i hana maoli i ka nui o ka pōʻino i kēia marsupial honua, no ka mea, ʻai ʻia lāua ma ka ʻāina nui a ma nā mokupuni kahi e noho ai ka quokka ma ke kahakai komohana hema.
I kēia manawa ke ʻumeʻume nei ka lehulehu o kēia mau holoholona i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, no ka mea ʻo ka quokka ka hoa maikaʻi loa no nā selfies. I kēia mau lā, ua hōʻea aku kona kaulana i nā palena hou, no ka hōʻike maikaʻi loa o kona helehelena ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ka holoholona ʻakaʻaka loa ma ka honua. He ʻoluʻolu loa ʻo Quokkas i ka poʻe. Minamina, nā biscuits a me nā mea maikaʻi ʻē aʻe e hoihoi i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi i nā holoholona e hoʻonāukiuki pinepine i nā maʻi digestive o kēia marsupial liʻiliʻi.
Heluna a me ke kūlana o kēia ʻano
Ma ke kai komohana hema o Australia komohana, makemake kēia mau holoholona e noho ma nā wahi i loaʻa iā 1000mm o ka ua. Noho lākou i nā mālama kūlohelohe a me nā pāka aupuni. Me ka hoʻololi o ke aniau o ka honua a me ka puka ʻana o nā mea ʻino exotic e like me nā ʻalopeke a me nā pōpoki, ke emi wikiwiki nei kēia lāhui
Hoihoi ia!Ma nā mokupuni kokoke o Rottnest a me Lysy Ostrov, kahi home o ka lehulehu i kēia manawa, i kēia manawa ʻaʻohe quokka hoʻokahi.
I kēia lā, ua hoʻokomo ʻia kēia marsupial, e ke kauoha a ka IUCN, i loko o ka Red List ma ke ʻano he holoholona i hoʻopilikia ʻia i ka luku ʻia i loko o kona kaiapuni.... I kēia manawa, aia ko lākou heluna nui loa i nā wahi kahi ʻaʻohe ʻalopeke ʻulaʻula, weliweli loa no lākou.
