You will not see a quokka in its native habitat in any Australian city. The quokka is found in a limited number of areas of Western Australia. One of their healthiest populations is on Rottnest island, a small, protected island off Perth, the capital of Western Australia. The quokka can also be found in the coastal plain around the Swan River, near Perth and Gingin. It is also found on Bald Island, and at Harvey and Collie in the Stirling Ranges.
Like a baby kangaroo, a quokka joey is about the size of a bean when it is born.
Quokka.
Most of Australia's quokkas live on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Western Australia, near Perth.
Yes. The quokka is only found on Rottnest Island, which is situated off the southwestern coast of Australia, about 18 km from Perth, the capital of Western Australia. The quokka can also be found in the coastal plain around the Swan River, near Perth and Gingin, on the mainalnd. It is also found on Bald Island, and at Harvey and Collie in the Stirling Ranges.

The quokka can also be found in the coastal plain around the Swan River, near Perth and Gingin. It is also found on Bald Island, and at Harvey and Collie in the Stirling Ranges. Generally, the quokka needs a warm, temperate climate (not tropical or sub-tropical). It lives in long grass or bushland with plenty of low scrub cover. Within this habitat, it makes pathways for feeding, and to allow for quick escape if it is disturbed.
Rottnest Island, off the coast of Western Australia, is known for the quokka, a small wallaby-like marsupial.
No, the quokka is not endangered. Its classification is "vulnerable".
None - and that is why the vulnerable quokka is able to survive there so well.
In the few remaining colonies of quokkas on the mainland of Australia, their main competitor for food is the rabbit. However, introduced species have been kept off Rottnest Island, where the quokka predominates, and there is no competitor for food there.
