Quokka (Setonix brachyurus)

Nice photo! In fact, quokkas are one of my favourite marsupial species!

@TheGerenuk They are also a favourite of mine! Thank you very much.

Good quokka photos.

@Terry Thomas Thank you!

Great photo! I would hope that one day I would be able to see one.

@Jambo Really? I would think they would be present in one of your local zoos.
I must be fortunate then to see Quokka at Currumbin and Wildlife HQ.

@WhistlingKite24 I once saw quokka at Taronga Zoo a few years back when I visited Australia.

@TheGerenuk They are very unique creatures aren’t they.
I’m surprised they are not present overseas considering their well-known status

@WhistlingKite24 Well-known status? I'm assuming you were joking here? Not outside Australia!

On a different note, San Diego tried to acquire a group a few years back, but were unsuccessful.
