This may be the first time you've heard the name Quokka, but this marsupial has become the main character in many selfies posted on Instagram. Dear Quokka is the only mammal on the island of Rottnest (Australia) and is known as the happiest animal in the world because they are always happy, likable and smiling.

The Quokka is in the same family as the Kangaroo (also known as the Macropodidae) and was discovered by a Dutch explorer in 1658, when they were described as "cat-sized rats". Quokkas weigh about 2.5kg to 5kg, with an average size only slightly larger than a domestic cat with a body of 40 - 90cm, and their tail is about 25 - 30cm long. This species of Quokka is herbivorous and can only eat finely chopped vegetables. They like to climb on small trees and bushes. Quokkas usually go foraging at night. This lovely animal is very friendly with humans. They are classified as rare animals in the world.

Let's take a look at the super cute pictures of the Quokka species below! Maybe they will make you immediately want to book a ticket to Australia just to see the sweet face of "the happiest, cutest animal in the world"!
