Quokkas
Quokkas are Rottnest Islands native animals. They are larger than rats but smaller than Wallabies, so they are about the size of full grown cats.
They are normally a brownish, grayish colour and are fairly chubby. Their hair is normally sticking up, so they look really fluffy.
They are very cute but they are a wild creature and therefore are not to be patted. They are Native to Rottnest and they look like they will be staying there for a long time to come.
