Quokka-mania!



Here is a a close-up of a quokka. A quokka is a marsupial that only exists on Rottnest Island off Perth/Freo shores. It's pretty amazing that it exists nowhere else in the world. I guess people brought them over to the mainland, but there are predators on the mainland that are not on the island. So, Rotto is the only safe place for these little fuzzy guys. It's so cute when they hop and then drag their fat little butts along with their front paws :)
