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 marsupials, so they give birth to underdeveloped young that crawl into their mother's pouch.
