🌟 Animal Spotlight 🌟
Quokkas (Setonix brachyurus) ~
are small, herbivorous marsupials native to Australia, often known as the “world’s happiest animal” due to their naturally friendly-looking expressions.

Physical Characteristics
• About the size of a domestic cat, they grow up to 40-54 cm (16-21 inches) long, with an additional 25-30 cm (10-12 inches) tail.
• Weigh between 2.5-5 kg (5.5-11 lbs).
• Have round faces, short, coarse brown-gray fur, small rounded ears, and strong hind legs that help them hop like kangaroos (to which they are closely related).

Habitat & Range
• Primarily found on Rottnest Island and Bald Island off the coast of Western Australia, with some small mainland populations.
• Prefer dense vegetation and scrublands, where they can find shelter and food.

Diet & Behavior
• Herbivores, feeding on leaves, grasses, and shrubs. They can survive on minimal water by getting moisture from their food.
• Mainly nocturnal, resting during the day and foraging at night.
• Have strong hind legs for hopping but can also climb small trees and shrubs.

Reproduction
• Quokkas give birth to one joey at a time, usually in late summer or early autumn.
• The joey stays in the mother’s pouch for about 6 months before gradually becoming independent.

Conservation Status
• Classified as vulnerable due to habitat destruction, introduced predators (foxes, cats), and bushfires.
• Protected in Australia, with conservation efforts in place to maintain their populations.

Fun Facts
• The name “Quokka” comes from an Aboriginal word.
• Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh mistook them for giant rats in 1696 and named Rottnest Island (“Rat’s Nest”).
• Quokkas appear to “smile” due to their natural facial structure, making them popular in selfies with tourists.
• Unlike many marsupials, they can store embryos in a state of delayed development (embryonic diapause) to time births strategically.
