Quokka
The
quokka
(,
Setonix brachyurus
), the
only member
of the genus
Setonix
, is a small
macropod
about the size of a domestic cat. Like other
marsupials
in the macropod family (such as
kangaroos
and
wallabies
), the quokka is
herbivorous
and mainly
nocturnal
. Quokkas can be found on some smaller
islands
off the coast of
Western Australia
, in particular on
Rottnest Island
just off
Perth
and
Bald Island
near
Albany
. A small mainland colony exists in the protected area of
Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve
, where they co-exist with
Gilbert's potoroo
.
