ʻO ka koala kekahi ʻano mammal e noho ana ma Australia. Ua like ia me ka bea liʻiliʻi, akā he marsupial maoli nō ia. Pili loa ke koala i ke kangaroo. ʻO kēia mau holoholona ʻelua nā hōʻailona nui o Australia.
ʻO ka hulu koala he ʻeleʻele-hina a hina hina paha. Ma ka nahelehele, ola lākou ma kahi o 20 mau makahiki. Moe lōʻihi loa nā koala: 16-20 mau hola i ka lā. Ala lākou i ka pō.
He mau koala maikaʻi me nā maiuu ʻoi. ʻOiaʻiʻo, noho nui lākou i nā lāʻau. Ma laila lākou e ʻai ai i nā lau a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o kekahi mau lāʻau eucalyptus. ʻAi lākou ma kahi o 200-400 grams o ia mea i kēlā me kēia lā. Aneane ʻaʻole inu ʻo Koala no ka mea ua lawa ka wai o nā lau.
Pehea e hānau ai nā koala?
ʻOkoʻo nā Koalas i nā makahiki 2-4. I ka wā o ka male ʻana, loaʻa i ka makuahine kekahi keiki nui me ia. Eia naʻe, ke noho nei kēia ma waho o kāna ʻeke.
ʻElima pule wale nō ka hāpai ʻana. Ma kahi o ʻelua kenimika wale nō ka lōʻihi o ke keiki i ka hānau ʻana a he liʻiliʻi ka paona kona kaumaha. Eia naʻe, ke kolo nei ʻo ia i loko o kāna ʻeke ponoʻī, a ka makuahine e hāpai ai ma kona ʻōpū. Ma laila nō e loaʻa ai nā ʻuʻu e inu ai i ka waiū.
Ma kahi o ʻelima mau mahina, ʻike ʻo ia i waho o ka ʻeke no ka manawa mua. Ma hope, kolo ʻo ia mai laila aku a ʻai i nā lau a kona makuahine e hāʻawi ai. Eia naʻe, hoʻomau ka inu waiu a hiki i ka piha ʻana o hoʻokahi makahiki. Puka ka ʻuʻu o ka makuahine i waho o ka ʻeke a ʻaʻole hiki i ka holoholona ʻōpio ke kolo hou i loko o ka ʻeke. ʻAʻole ʻae ka makuahine i ka holo ʻana ma luna o kona kua.
Inā hāpai hou ka makuahine, hiki i ke keiki makua ke noho me ia. Ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapa, ua kipaku ka makuahine iā ia. Inā ʻaʻole hāpai ka makuahine, hiki i ke keiki ke noho me kona makuahine a hiki i ʻekolu makahiki.
Pilikia anei koala?
He pueo, ʻaeto, a me ka nahesa python nā mea ʻaihue o nā koalas. Akā ʻo nā ʻano moʻo o nā moʻo nānā a me kekahi ʻano ʻīlio hae, nā dingo, makemake e ʻai i nā koalas.
Eia naʻe, pilikia loa lākou no ka mea e ʻoki ana ke kanaka i ko lākou mau ululāʻau. A laila pono nā koala e holo a ʻaʻole loaʻa hou kahi ʻāina. Inā pau nā ululāʻau i ke ahi, a laila nui nā koaala e make koke. He nui no hoi i make i na mai.
Aia ma kahi o 50,000 koala i koe ma ka honua. ʻOiai e emi ana lākou, ʻaʻole i hoʻoweliweli ʻia nā koala e pau. Makemake ka poʻe o Australia i koala a ke kū'ē nei lākou i ka pepehi ʻia ʻana.
