轻盈的跳跃(Light-footed hoppers)

加入我们，在澳大利亚度过一个风景优美的早晨，黎明时分，在阿德莱德河地区可以看到两只细心的小袋鼠。这些灵活的有袋动物是袋鼠的近亲，原产于澳大利亚和新几内亚。瓦拉比有30多种，如刷尾、岩石、兔子、甲尾和沼泽袋鼠，它们吃素食——它们啃草、树叶和水果。它们的身高约为30-105厘米，可以用强壮的后腿进行令人印象深刻的跳跃，以保护自己免受敌人的攻击。在交配季节，雄性袋鼠会通过拳击比赛给人留下深刻印象，以展示它们的统治地位并吸引雌性的注意。瓦拉比是群居动物，形成小群体，即所谓的“暴徒”，为它们提供安全和相互照顾。

Join us for a scenic morning in Australia, where at dawn two attentive wallabies can be seen in the Adelaide River area. These nimble marsupials, close relatives of the kangaroo, are native to Australia and New Guinea. Wallabys, of which there are over 30 species, such as the brush-tail, rock, rabbit, nail-tail and swamp wallabies, eat vegetarian – they nibble on grasses, leaves and fruits. They reach a size of about 30–105 centimeters and can make impressive jumps with their strong hind legs to protect themselves from enemies. In mating season, male wallabies impress with boxing fights to demonstrate their dominance and attract the attention of the females. Wallabys are sociable animals and form small groups, so-called "mobs", which offer them safety and mutual care.
