第一篇考拉Koalas (澳洲考拉)
A
Koalas are just too nice for their owngood. And except for the occasional baby taken by birds of prey (n.捕食),koalas have no natural enemies. In an idealworld, the life of an arboreal couch potato would be perfectly safe andacceptable.
B
Just two hundred years ago, koalasflourished(v.茂盛、繁荣)across Australia. Now they seem to be in decline, but exact numbers are notavailable as the species would not seem to be 'under threat'. Their problem,however, has been nan, more specifically, the white man. Koala and aboriginehad co-existed peacefully for centuries.
C
Today koalas are found only in scatteredpockets of southeast Australia where they seem to be at the risk on severalfronts. The koala‘s only food source, the eucalyptus tree (n.桉树),has declined. In the past 200 years, athird of Australia's eucalyptus forests have disappeared. Koalas have beenkilled by parasites, chlamydia epidemics(衣原体感染) anda tumour-causing retro-virus. And every year 11000 are killed by cars,ironically most of them in wildlife sanctuaries, and thousands are killed bypoachers. Some are also taken illegally as pets. The animals usually soon die,but they are easily replaced.
D
Bush fires pose another threat. Thehorrific ones that raged in New South Wales recently Killed between 100 and1000 Koalas. Many that were taken into sanctuaries and shelters were found tohave burnt their paws on the glowing embers(灰烬).Butzoologists say that the species should recover. The Koalas will be aided by theeucalyptus, which grows quickly and is already burgeoning forth after thefires. So the main problem to their survival is their slow reproductive rate -they produce only one baby a year over a reproductive lifespan of about nineyears.
E
The latest problem for the species isperhaps more insidious. With plush, grey fur(n.毛皮),dark amber eyes and button nose, koalas are cuddlinessincarnate Australian zoos and wildlife parks have taken advantage of theiruncomplaining attitudes, and charge visitors to be photographed hugging thefurry bundles. But people may not realise how cruel this is, but because of thekoala's delicate disposition, constant handling can push an alreadyprecariously balanced physiology (n.生理)over the edge.
F
Koalas only eat the foliage of certainspecies of eucalyptus trees, between 600 and 1250 grams a day. The tough leavesare packed with cellulose (n.纤维素),tannins, aromatic oils and precursors of toxic cyanides. To handle thiscocktail, koalas have a specialised digestive system. Cellulose-digestingbacteria in the caecum (盲肠) break down fibre, while a speciallyadapted gut and liver process the toxins. To digest their food properly, koalasmust sit still for 21 hours every day.
G
Koalas are the epitome of innocence andinoffensiveness. Although they are capable of ripping open a man’s arm with their needle-sharp claws, or giving a nastynip, they simply wouldn't. If you upset a koala, it may blink or swallow, orhiccup(打嗝). But attack? No way! Koalas are just notaggressive. "They use their claws to grip the hard smooth bark ofeucalyptus trees.
H
They are also very sensitive (v.敏感的),and the slightest upset can prevent themfrom breeding, cause them to go off their food, and succumb to gut infections.Koalas are stoic creatures and put on a brave face until they are at death'sdoor. One day they may appear healthy, the next they could be dead. Captivekoalas have to be weighed daily to check that they are feeding properly. Asudden loss of weight is usually the only warning keepers have that theircharge is ill. Only two keepers plus a vet were allowed to handle London Zoo'skoalas, as these creatures are only comfortable with people they know. Arequest for the koala to be taken to Beet the Queen was refused because of thedistress this would have caused the marsupial. Sadly. London's Zoo no longerhas a koala. Two years ago the female koala died of a cancer caused by aretrovirus. When they come into heat, female koalas become more active, andstart losing weight, but after about sixteen days, heat ends and the weightpiles back on. London' s koala did not. Surgery revealed hundreds of pea-sizedtumours.
I
Almost every zoo in Australia haskoalas-the marsupial(n.有袋动物) has become the Animal Ambassador of the nation, but nowhere outsideAustralia would handling by the public be allowed. Koala cuddling screams inthe face of every rule of good care. First, some zoos allow koalas to be passedfrom stranger to stranger, many children who love to squeeze. Secondly, mostpeople have no idea of how to handle the animals: they like to cling on totheir handler, all in their own good time and use his or her arm as a tree. Forsuch reasons, the Association of Fauna and Marine parks, an Australianconservation society is campaigning to ban koala cuddling. Policy on koalahandling is determined by state government authorities. "And the largestof the numbers in the Australian nature Conservation Agency, with the aim ofinstituting national guidelines. Following a wave of publicity, some zoos andwildlife parks have stopped turning their koalas into photo.
