Quokkas

Quokkas are small, herbivorous marsupials native to southwestern Australia, known for their friendly, curious nature and "smiling" appearance. They are about the size of a large cat, with short, rounded ears and a dense, gray-brown coat. Quokkas typically live in dense shrubland and forests, and they feed on leaves, grasses, and stems. They are mostly nocturnal and social animals, often seen in small groups. Despite their adaptability, quokkas are vulnerable due to habitat loss and introduced predators. They are popular with tourists, especially for their seemingly cheerful expressions, which have made them famous worldwide.
