ENG “UYQUCHI” VA DOIMIY DIEATADA YURADIGAN XALTALI AYIQCHA
Аннотация
Avstraliyaning sharqiy va janubiy hududlarida tarqalgan endemik turlardan biri bo`lmish koala o`zining yoqimtoy ko`rinishi va bir tutam sochlari bilan ko`pchilikni o`ziga jalb qiladi. Kolaning faqatgina shu hududlarga yashashiga asosiy sabab esa uning asosiy oziqasi bo`lmish evkalipt daraxtining o`sishi uchun shu hududlardagina namlikning yetarli ekanligi hisoblanadi. Koala so‘zi aborigen tilidan olingan bo‘lib, "suv ichmaydigan" degan ma’noni anglatadi, chunki mahalliy aholining fikricha, bu hayvonlar umuman suv ichmaydi. XVIII asrlarda Yevropaga kelgan ilk ko`chmanchi odamlar bu hayvonni yumaloq tana shakliga ega ekanligini ko`rib uni koala ayiqchasi deb nomlashgan. Shuningdek, urg`ochi koalalarning qornida bolasini olib yurishi uchun maxsus xaltachasi ham mavjudligi, ushbu hayvinlarning ayiqlarga aloqasi yo`qligini ko`rsatadi. Hozirda koalalar koala oilasining yagona turi hisoblanadi.
