5 Interesting Facts About Quokkas!

Quokkas have been described as the world's happiest animal - their upturned mouth and relaxed facial muscles give them a permanent expression of contentment that is genuinely adorable and entirely unposed.
They are found mainly on Rottnest Island off Perth in Western Australia - the island's name comes from Dutch explorer Willem de Vlamingh, who mistook the quokkas for large rats and called it 'Rotte nest' (rat nest) in 1696.
Quokkas are nocturnal marsupials that graze on grasses and leaves - they can survive for long periods without fresh water by extracting moisture from their food, an impressive adaptation for island life.
Baby quokkas (joeys) spend around six months in the mother's pouch - they then emerge but continue to return to the pouch for comfort and safety for several more weeks.
Quokkas have remarkably little fear of humans on Rottnest Island - centuries of island living with no natural predators has made them unusually bold and approachable, though feeding them is now illegal to protect their health.
