Quokkas are small members of the kangaroo family, similar to wallabies but in a separate family. They are found in just a few populations in Western Australia, but because these populations are largely in protected areas, this marsupial is not listed as endangered.
The main population is on Rottnest Island, and numbers there fluctuate regularly between 8000 and 12000. the next largest population is on the Bald Island nature reserve, where numbers are estimated to be between 600 and 1000. There are about 1000 more scattered through numerous other populations on the mainland. More details on individual populations can be found at the related link below.
