Quokkas are found on Rottnest Island, just off of Perth and on Bald Island near Albany. These areas are located in the Southwest regions of Australia. These cute little animals may seem like a great pet but are far from it. They can’t be housebroken, are nocturnal, have razor-sharp claws, and need tons of space. While they might be the world’s cutest animal, don’t try to touch one either.
Authorities have been known to slap a $300 fine on anyone even attempting to pet these adorable, happy marsupials. Oh and, if you really think you want to try stealing one, these cute little buddies are just using you for food.
Quokkas are cat-sized marsupials, which belong to the kangaroo family. This animal is found in a limited number of areas of Western Australia. It is generally .70 to 90 cm, including their tail. The weight is typically 2 to 5 kilograms or 4.4 to 11 pounds. Other cutesy names for this loveable creature include short-tailed, Pademelon, and short-tailed wallaby.
Quokkas are thought to be the happiest animal in the world due to its permanently delighted expression. They are wiry with brown and grey fur. They also have rounded ears and small dark eyes. They possess large hind legs and feet and small limbs and hands.
