What is a Quokka?
The quokka is a small marsupial that lives in Australia, mostly on Rottnest Island and some parts of Western Australia. Known as the 'world’s happiest animal' because of its friendly expression, the quokka is about the size of a domestic cat. It usually weighs between 2.5 and 5 kilograms (5.5 to 11 pounds) and has a round body, short ears, and a long, hairless tail. Quokkas are herbivores that eat leaves, grass, and stems, mostly at night when it’s cooler. Their fur is thick and rough, helping them stay warm during cooler evenings. These quiet creatures usually make soft grunting or chattering sounds and love to explore grassy areas and scrublands with lots of hiding spots.
