Quokka
Setonix brachyurus
The quokka, or Setonix brachyurus, is a medium-sized marsupial native to Australia, often dubbed "the world's happiest animal" due to its smiling facial expression. It measures about 40 to 54 cm in length with a short tail of 25 to 30 cm. Its fur is brown-grey, dense, and woolly. Quokkas primarily inhabit Rottnest and Bald Islands near Australia's west coast. They are herbivores, feeding on leaves, grasses, and stems. Although mainly nocturnal, they can be active during the day. Quokkas are known for their curious and not very shy behavior towards humans, making them popular with tourists. However, it's important to respect their natural habitat and not feed them.
