Best Answer

The quokka is a small member of the kangaroo family. It has small rounded ears, and coarse, wiry brown or greyish fur, and quite a short tail.

It is a marsupial, so the female quokka has a pouch in which the joey stays while it develops. The joey stays in its mother's pouch for about six months before it begins to venture out.

Quokkas recycle a small amount of their bodies' waste products in a process called "caecotrophy". It allows for the re-processing of any food that has made its way through the entire digestive system without being fully digested, and is an adaptation needed for the quokka to survive in areas where water is scarce.
