They also taste delicious and practically throw themselves onto the bbq in joy (they can't quite reach the hot plate so they rub against our ankles when they're ready to be eaten).
Jesus fuking upside down Christ!
Do we need to unleash the emus to cull the Australians population again?
And their sound is so cute, it sounds like "oicunt"
don't they throw their children at predators to escape?
If mother die, child die by hunger if not by predator. Mother can make new child in relative short time compared to time to make new mother.
Most animal not incredible attached to offspring like human.
Are these the ones that throw their kids at predators
They’re also one of two animals in Australia that are actually trying to kill you. And really, the wombats are just doing it because the quokka made them.

Yes, they are smiling assholes

If my feed could just be quokkas, capybaras, and manul, that’d be great.
Join the quokk.au instance 😂
Just as long as they don't start trying to sell me car insurance.
I’m new to this instance, but it being named after quokkas is like my favourite thing ever.
you can tell they have an Australian accent
