Meet the Quokka
Western Australia’s World Famous Wallaby 💗
Quokkas are small marsupials from the macropod family (which includes
kangaroos and wallabies). These herbivorous and mainly nocturnal
cuties can be found on some small islands off the coast of Western
Australia, in particular Rottnest Island just off Perth.
Unlike many Australian animals, quokkas are not dangerous and they're
often seen hopping along paths and communing under trees that divide
the island's 63 white, sandy beaches. With no cars on Rottnest Island,
everyone travels by bike and the marsupials make their way around
unhindered. They're regularly spotted weaving through legs at the
oceanside pub, and looking on as people have a hit of tennis or a
round of golf.
