You may not have heard of the quokka before, but you’ve probably seen photographs of these amusing creatures circulating around the internet. They’re known for their cheeky little grins, and it’s no wonder that they’re considered the happiest wild creatures on the planet.
Quokkas are members of the same Macropodidae family as kangaroos and may be found on a few tiny Australian islands such as Rottnest Island and Bald Island. They may live for up to 10 years and, like other Macropods, are herbivorous and mostly active at night.
Unlike most other animals, the quokka, which is listed as “vulnerable” on the endangered species list, isn’t afraid of people.
They don’t appear to be afraid of being photographed, and there was even a trend a few years ago where people took selfies with Quokkas. It may appear to be a harmless activity, but anyone caught handling or feeding them might face a fine of up to A$300.
It’s probably better to leave them alone on their quokka island and instead enjoy this list put together by Bored Panda. And, before you ask, no, Quokkas cannot be kept as pets!
