if you have never ever ear about them, let's know!


Why are they so few?

Quokkas have a promiscuous mating system.After a month of gestation, females give birth to a single baby called a joey. Females can give birth twice a year and produce about 17 joeys during their lifespan.The joey lives in its mother's pouch for six months. Once it leaves the pouch, the joey relies on its mother for milk for two more months and is fully weaned around eight months after birth. Females sexually mature after roughly 18 months. When a female quokka with a joey in her pouch is pursued by a predator, she may drop her baby onto the ground; the joey produces noises, which may serve to attract the predator's attention, while the mother escapes.

Rottnest Island

There are around 10,000-12,000 of these animals living on Rottnest,infact, they have become one of the main tourist attractions of Rottnest Island because they have a cute appearance and are easy to see. Quokkas have little fear of humans and commonly approach people closely, particularly on this island, where they are abundant. Though quokkas are approachable, there are a few dozen cases annually of quokkas biting people, especially children. But is illegal for members of the public to handle the animals in any way, and feeding, particularly of "human food", is especially discouraged, as they can easily get sick. An infringement notice carrying a A$300 fine can be issued by the Rottnest Island Authority for such an offence.The maximum penalty for animal cruelty is a A$50,000 fine and a five-year prison sentence
