The quokka can be 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.
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.

How do quokkas adapt to their environment?
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.
What interesting body parts do quokkas have?
Quokkas, often referred to as the "world's happiest animals," have several interesting features. Notably, they possess round faces with a small, flat nose and large, expressive eyes, giving them an endearing appearance. Their short, stocky bodies are covered in coarse fur, which helps them adapt to their natural habitats. Additionally, quokkas have strong hind legs that allow them to hop efficiently, similar to kangaroos, and their small, rounded ears are well-suited for their environment.
What is the name of a big group of quokkas?
A large group of quokkas is called a colony. Quokkas live in colonies in southwest Western Australia.
Does a quokka have predators?
Yes, quokkas do have predators. Their natural predators include birds of prey, such as eagles and hawks, as well as introduced species like foxes and feral cats that pose a significant threat to their populations. Additionally, snakes can also prey on young quokkas. To evade predators, quokkas often rely on their agility and ability to hide in dense vegetation.

Do Rottnest quokkas' hopping and climbing skills help them escape predators?
Quokkas are not acually wallabies, and as a result, do not have any climbing skills like rock wallabies do. Quokkas do hop, but there are no natural predators on Rottnest Island which they need to escape.
