Fun Facts About the Quokka
1. They look like they're always smiling!
Quokkas are famous for their adorable little smiles. Their mouth naturally curves into a happy-looking expression, which has made them one of the internet's favourite animals. But don't be fooled—the quokka isn't actually smiling because it's happy!
2. They are related to kangaroos.
Quokkas are marsupials, just like kangaroos and wallabies. They even have a pouch where their babies, called joeys, grow and develop. Despite their cute and cuddly appearance, they are actually quite closely related to kangaroos.
3. They can climb trees!
You might not expect such a tiny, round-looking animal to be a good climber, but quokkas can climb surprisingly well. They sometimes climb into low trees and shrubs to find food.
4. They can survive for a surprisingly long time without drinking.
Quokkas get much of the water they need from the plants they eat. They are well adapted to their dry environment and can survive for long periods with very little fresh water.
5. Baby quokkas are called joeys.
A newborn quokka is incredibly tiny—about the size of a grain of rice! After being born, the tiny joey makes its way into its mother's pouch, where it continues to grow and develop for several months.
6. They are mostly active at night.
Quokkas are mainly nocturnal, which means they are most active after dark. During the hot Australian days, they usually rest in shady areas and save their energy for the cooler hours.
7. They have a clever escape trick!
If a quokka is threatened, it can make a quick escape by hopping away. But female quokkas have another rather unusual survival strategy: if a predator catches a mother, she may eject her joey from her pouch, creating a distraction that can give her a chance to escape.
