expression has led to them being dubbed the "world's happiest animal."

come close to humans, and even approach them, This friendly behavior makes them even more endearing to those who encounter them.

interacting with other Quokkas, making them a pleasure to watch.

the mainland as part of fragmented colonies in isolated forests in parts of south Western Australia.
