Quokkas, wallabies found dead in Aussie zoo_我的网站

A | Adelaide (Australia), Oct 12 (UNI) An Australian zoo is investigating the sudden deaths of seven female quokkas and two yellow-footed rock-wallabies.
Why the marsupials died remains a mystery but "plant toxicity" is believed to be the most likely cause, an Adelaide Zoo spokeswoman was quoted as saying by the BBC.
The vet team is confident it was an isolated incident but further investigation was under way, she said.
No animals from other exhibits have shown signs of being unwell since the deaths, which happened last month.
"The loss of one animal, let alone a large group in a sudden incident such as this, is extremely upsetting, particularly for those who care for them," the spokeswoman said.
An 11-month-old quokka joey survived and is recovering in the zoo's health centre. The remaining three male quokkas have been taken off the exhibit, the BBC reported.
Other yellow-footed rock-wallabies and kangaroos were "noticeably flat" after the incident but have now recovered fully, the zoo said.
Pathology and toxicology reports have so far been inconclusive, but the zoo is carrying out more tests to discover what caused the animals to become sick.
The zoo breeds both native marsupials species, which are listed as vulnerable in the wild, the report said.
Often dubbed "the world's happiest animal", quokkas are darlings of tourist photos on social media.
But less than 15,000 remain in the wild, most on Western Australia's Rottnest Island.
UNI MR。昨日立秋，虽然离真正的秋天还远，但杭州的暑热有望随着今年第13号台风“白海豚”的活动得到暂时缓解。中央气象台8月7日18时发布台风黄色预警。台风“白海豚”预计7日晚上进入东海，将以每小时10公里到15公里的速度向偏西方向移动，预计9日下午至10日早晨在浙江到福建北部沿海地区登陆，登陆点附近及以北地区将有大范围的风雨影响。据研判，在台风强度上，“白海豚”7日下午强度有所加强，中心附近最大风力由14级增强至15级，接下来强度可能还将增强，有可能达到超强台风级（16级）。不过，“白海豚”在登陆前强度会再度减弱。与7月登陆我国的台风“巴威”相比，“白海豚”的局部风力有可能超过“巴威”，降雨的强度和范围更强、更广，且局地单点降水具有极端性。受台风影响，我省降雨时间长达5天（7日夜里至12日），强降雨主要集中在8日夜里至10日，东部、南部地区累计雨量大，单点有极端性。

B | 今天白天沿海地区部分暴雨局地大暴雨，夜里至10日浙中南和沿海地区有暴雨大暴雨，台州、温州和宁波南部局地有特大暴雨；11日浙西地区部分暴雨，局部大暴雨。再看台风对杭州的影响，预计8日到12日我市有较明显风雨过程，降雨最强时间段集中在9日到10日，过程降水时间长，累计雨量大。今天白天起全市风力逐渐增大，最强时段出现在9日白天到10日上午，最大东北风平原地区8级到10级，山区和江湖水面局地11级以上。

C | 目前，“白海豚”正受副热带高压、西风带槽脊、多台风系统等叠加影响，登陆后的移动路径仍存在一定的不确定性。同时，北部湾和西太平洋上分别有热带扰动活动，也将对“白海豚”的发展和移动路径产生一定影响。预计台风登陆后移动路径会趋于明朗，华东及后续可能受到影响的区域应高度重视台风防御，重点防范强风、暴雨及次生灾害。气象专家提醒，台风的潜在影响并不限于移动路径和登陆地点附近，移动路径和登陆点外扩区域同样存在灾害风险。即使台风深入内陆后中心强度逐渐减弱，强降水也会出现较为分散的分布。
