The post 5 Facts About Western Australia’s Smiley Quokkas appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>People often mistake quokkas for rodents due to their small size. They are in fact marsupials and belong to the same family as kangaroos.
Quokkas can only be found in Western Australia, typically the Southwest. The best place to see them is on Rottnest Island. They are the only land animal that lives here.
Quokkas have a pouch, just like kangaroos. The babies live in the mother’s pouch for several months after their time in the womb.
Although quokkas always appear to be smiling, they are not actually as happy go lucky as people think. They also have some pretty sharp claws so it’s best not to get in their way!
Although they are adorable and are unafraid of humans, it is actually illegal to keep quokkas as pets. This is partly to do with the fact they have such sharp claws and will shriek loudly if they feel threatened.
