Quokkas are small members of the kangaroo family. They have a head to body length of between 41 cm and 54 cm, with a tail length of 25 - 31 cm. Their weight range is 2.5 to 4.2 kg.

Quokkas do not need to adapt to their environment. They are perfectly suited to live in far southwestern Australia. Quokkas shelter in long grass or bushland with plenty of low scrub cover. Within this habitat, they make pathways for feeding, and to allow for quick escape if they are disturbed. In their habitat, water tends to be quite scarce, so they rely on succulents for their food.

The quokka is a grazing animal. It feeds on grasses, and other low vegetation found in its habitat, such as sedges, succulents, and foliage of shrubs. it rarely drinks, so it is reliant on succulents for its food.

The Quokka is found only in the south western corner of Western Australia.

The gestation period of a quokka is 26 to 28 days. Most of the joey's development occurs in the female quokka's pouch, where it stays for at least six months. The joey will leave when it is between 175 and 195 days old.

Quokkas are not generally measured in height, but in head to body length, which gives a rough range of the quokka's height. They have a head to body length of between 41 cm and 54 cm, with a tail length of 25 - 31 cm.

Quokkas do not bite people or other animals. They use their teeth to bite the vegetation on which they feed.

Very much so. The quokka is a small member of the kangaroo family. The quail is a tiny bird.

Yes: quokkas are real animals. They are marsupials, and small members of the kangaroo family. They are found in Australia's far southwest.

Quokkas are vulnerable to introduced predators. The best way to save them is to ensure foxes and real cats are not brought in to their colonies. When tourists visit their colonies, they can avoid feeding quokkas by hand: tourists have been tempted to feed quokkas bread, but because quokkas do not drink water, eating bread can be fatal to them. They rely on succulents, not dry bread.

A large group of quokkas is called a colony. Quokkas live in colonies in southwest Western Australia.

Quokkas are very small members of the kangaroo family, and their size helps them to hide easily in vegetation undergrowth. Quokkas are unique for the way they create tunnels that they use as runways through dense vegetation. They can quickly hop through these escape tunnels when threatened by a predator, and birds of prey cannot spot them through the dense vegetation.

A quokka would not be a good zoo animal, as they like to hide in vegetation undergrowth. Quokkas are unique for the way they create tunnels that they use as runways through dense vegetation. habitat preferred habitat includes thick tussock grass, and it is unlikely that many zoos could recreate the quokka's habitat appropriately.

Quokkas camouflage well within their scrubby habitat. They are grey-brown in colour, and are not easily distinguished from their habitat at a distance when they are motionless.

There are most certainly quokkas left. Most of them live on Rottnest Island, while there are some smaller colonies in protected areas in southwestern Western Australia.

The populations on the mainland total nearly 2000 animals, while the best estimates for the Rottnest Island population vary between 4000 and 17000, according to the Australian Government's Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities website (see related link below).

You don't.

The quokka, a small member of the kangaroo family, is found in a limited number of areas of Western Australia. One of their largest populations is on Rottnest Island, a small, protected island off Perth, Western Australia. the reason they thrive on Rottnest is because the island is predator-free. There are no foxes, feral cats or wild dogs on the island, which is carefully regulated.

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.

Quokkas are small and completely defenceless members of the kangaroo family, so they are vulnerable to a number of native and introduced species. They are most vulnerable to predation by feral cats, dogs and foxes.

Quokkas are marsupials so, like all marsupials, they give birth to embryonic young that are extremely undeveloped. These tiny newborns are blind, hairless, and about the size of a bean. When they are born, they crawl into their mother's pouch where they attach to one of the teats which swells inside the joey's mouth, ensuring it will not be dislodged when the mother moves.

They usually give birth to a single baby at a time, and the joey will stay in its mother's pouch for around 25 weeks.

Quokkas have a head to body length ranging between around 41 and 54 cm, and a tail length between 25 and 31 cm. Overall, therefore, from nose to tail, they can be between about 66 cm and 85 cm.

No. Quokkas cannot kill you.

According to the Australian Government's Department of Sustainability and Environment, wild quokkas can live up to ten years.

When you tour Rottnest Island, the main habitat of the quokkas, there are opportunities to get close to the quokkas, but they do not usually allow people to touch them.
