(220210) -- SYDNEY, Feb. 10, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Undated photo released by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) shows a red-tailed phascogale at Dryandra Woodland National Park in Western Australia. Ecologists have given some of Australia's cutest and rarest native animals, red-tailed phascogales and numbats, new leases of life by relocating them from one end of the island continent to the other. The AWC announced on Wednesday that 60 phascogales have made the 1,400 km journey from Alice Springs Desert Park in the Northern Territory to the Mallee Cliffs National Park in the southwestern region of the state of New South Wales.

    A Quokka At Featherdale Wildlife Park - Sydney

    A visitor takes photo of a quokka on the Rottnest Island in Australia, Oct. 25, 2024. Often called "the happiest animal in the world", Quokkas are a small marsupial related to Kangaroos. They have grey-brown fur and small, rounded ears, feeding on fresh, young grasses, leaves and succulents, as well as plant roots. The quokka's range is a small area of southwestern Australia. They inhabit some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia, particularly Rottnest Island just off Perth. Quokkas there have become very accustomed to humans. The species is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List of threatened species due to habitat loss, climatic factors and predation by feral animals (cats and foxes).
