Yes. Two species of quoll live in Queensland: the Spotted tail quoll, also known as the tiger quoll; and the Northern quoll. The Western quoll was once found in the western third of the state, but it is now only found in southwest Western Australia.

Quokkas are surprisingly fast, despite their seemingly awkward, stout shape. Quokkas are very small members of the kangaroo family that create tunnels that they use as runways through dense vegetation. They can hop very quickly through these escape tunnels when threatened by a predator.

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.

Quokkas tend to give birth to a single joey at a time.

A young quokka will first leave the pouch once it is between 175 and 195 days old. It will not leave permanently until three to four months later.

Quokkas have embryonic diapause, which means that one day after a baby is delivered and enters the pouch, the female mates again. The young in the pouch develops, but the young that (hypothetically) resulted from the second mating stalls its development after just a few days. If the young in the pouch dies before it is around 150 days old, the second young resumes its development, is delivered 24-27 days later, and enters the pouch. If not, the second young will wait until the next breeding season to resume its development.

Quokkas are marsupials so, like other marsupials, they give birth to undeveloped young. The young joey then makes its way to the pouch where it latches onto a teat, staying there for months.

Quokkas are most active at night feeding alone or in small bands. However, they can survive for long periods without food or water. During the day they will shelter in areas of dense vegetation. Among the dense vegetation, Quokkas will create paths and trails for use as runways for feeding or escaping predators.

The average weight of an adult quokka is about 3.5 kg.

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.

Sources seem to vary on this. Some sources suggest that quokkas can live for up to 5 years in captivity. Their lifespan in the wild tends to be shorter.

However, according to the related weblink below, quokkas can live for up to ten years in the wild.

Actual figures for the speed of a quokka are not available. Quokkas are surprisingly fast, despite their seemingly awkward, stout shape. Quokkas are very small members of the kangaroo family that create tunnels that they use as runways through dense vegetation. They can hop very quickly through these escape tunnels when threatened by a predator.

The quokka is a mammal so, like other mammals, it nurtures its young on mothers' milk. The quokka joey receives this milk while still developing in its mother's pouch. The joey stays in the mother quokka's pouch for between 175 and 195 days. For awhile after it leaves, it will return to the security of the mother's pouch if it is scared or cold.

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 are grazing animals; they feed on grasses, sedges, succulents, and the foliage of shrubs.

Predators of quokkas are dingoes and introduced species such as foxes and feral cats. They are very vulnerable to predation, so their only successful colonies are those on Rottnest Island, which is predator-free, and special protected reserved on the mainland of southwest Australia.

The Quokka is a sociable animal, living in colonies and gathering in large groups where food is available. It nests in tall grasses, and makes "tunnels" through the grasses along its common pathways. The Quokka's physical movements are similar to a kangaroo, using a mixture of small and large hops, and walking by supporting itself with its short forelimbs while its more powerful hindlimbs take the weight of its body. Due to its constant exposure to tourists on Rottnest, these quokkas have no fear of humans, but in the few wild and isolated colonies on the mainland, it is more reclusive. The quokka is herbivorous in its feeding habits and mainly nocturnal, or crepuscular, meaning it comes out to feed at dawn and dusk.

Colony

During the day, quokkas sleep in thick vegetation, such as scrubby thickets and areas of dense grass. On parts of the mainland, where quokkas have a very minimal population, they nest in thick cover around swampy areas.

A young Quokka is called a joey.

The quokka moves by hopping. It has large, well-devloped hind legs designed for hopping, and very small forelegs.
