Quokkas have the reputation of being the happiest animal on the planet. They are found in Rotness Island.
They are 40 to 54cm. They are a part of the kangaroo and Tasmanian devil family. When there’s a predator that comes near them they throw their babies to save themselves. Quokkas are herbivores which means they only eat plants, seeds and nectar . They have a pouch to keep their children until they are mature.
Quokka’s are as big as a domestic cat. Quokka’s weight is 25 to 50 kg. They climb trees and shrubs. Quokka’s scientific name is Setonix Brachyrus. Quokka’s have a life span of 10 years. There are about 7,500 to 15,000 Quokka’s left in the world.The country they live in is Australia in Ross Island. They are nocturnal which means they are awake in the night and asleep in the morning.
Quokka’s defend themselves by using sharp claws and teeth. Quokka live up to 14 years or more. Baby Quokka’s are called Joeys. Quokka’s will get abandoned by their parents if they smell an unusual scent from their babies. Quokka’s are not harmless but if they feel threatened you will get hurt. The Qoukka is really adorable. I would like to meet one.
