You are probably not familiar with the Quokka. The quokka is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. It is the only member of the genus Setonix. Like other animals in the macropod family (such as kangaroos and wallabies), this amazing quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal. Quokkas are found on some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia. Like other wallabies, quokkas have large hind feet, which they can use to hop. Female quokkas have a pouch (fold of skin) to carry offspring. Quokkas are herbivores (plant eaters). They eat grasses and leaves from plants such as wattles (acacia trees). Quokkas can reproduce when they are around 18 months old. After about 25 to 28 days (about 4 weeks), the female quokka gives birth to one offspring. A young quokka is called a joey. A joey stays in its mother's pouch for about six months. Quokkas are really the cutest animal ever in my opinion...
