The quokka is a marsupial that lives predominantly on Rottnest Island, with a few sparse populations on the mainland of Western Australia as well. It resembles a wallaby, and the name "quokka" actually means "little wallaby" in the local Aboriginal dialect. However, the quokka is really in a different group of its own to the wallaby, having a shorter, stiffer tail and shorter hind feet. Its skull and teeth are different to usual wallabies, and it has more rounded ears.
