Scientific name: Setonix brachyurus

Imagine a tiny kangaroo, about the size of a cat, that always looks like it's smiling for a selfie! That's a quokka.

They live on a few islands in Australia, mostly one called Rottnest Island. Because they don't have many natural predators there, they aren't very scared of people and are famous for being super friendly.
