A Quokka At Featherdale Wildlife Park - Sydney

Visitors take photos of a quokka and her baby 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).
