Quokka

Well you can't go to Rottnest Island and not post a picture of a Quokka!
The quokka is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. Like other marsupials in the macropod family (such as kangaroos and wallabies), the quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal. Although on Rottnest they seem to be around during the day and are scarily tame

Great capture. First time I have heard of or seen one

I just love these quokkas! They're quite tame as they have no predators or cars on the island :) fav

They're cute little things aren't they :)

Lovely shot! We stayed on an old army camp on rottnest and at night when it was dark there were hundreds of quokkas came out eating the grass.

How wonderful to see a quokka in the wild. I have only ever seen them at the zoo in Dubbo.
