Most of Australia's quokkas live on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Western Australia, near Perth. The quokka is a small, squat member of the kangaroo family. Because it is not large and fast like Red or Grey kangaroos, it is particularly vulnerable to predation by introduced species such as cats and foxes. There are no cats or foxes on Rottnest Island; this s why the quokka is able to thrive there.
