    It doesnt look real but Quokka’s exist. They live exclusively on a small island off the coast of Perth. Rottnest island. It’s Dutch and it translates to the rat’s nest.

      The mainly live on Rottnest but it’s not exclusive. There are small populations on the mainland as well. But they are threatened by predators and other human activities there and so populations have dropped dramatically since the 1930s. However, a population was just found in the Perth Hills late last year!
