UQuoka uzodla ngeqabunga elimnandi.
Kanjani ukukhiqizwa kwesilwane esinoboya
Lapho kuqala inkathi yokuzalela, amaQuokki aqala ukwakha i-pair - lokhu kuyinto ekhethekile lapho lezi zilwane zingabonwa ngawodwa. Ukukhulelwa kuthatha cishe inyanga. Ngenqubo yokuvuselelwa kwalezi zilwane, ososayensi baqaphela iqiniso elilodwa elijabulisayo: uma umntwana ezalwa ngokuzumayo efa, insikazi ngokushesha izala owesibili, kodwa lokhu kwenzeka ngaphandle kokuzibandakanya okuphindaphindiwe kowesilisa!
