The quokka is a small macropod found in Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve & some small islands off of Western Australia.

Finished a redesign for a creature I made last year, the Northern Gigaroo (Gigapodus macrorhinus), a giant macropod from the rainforests of Artechocene Australia

Adı Quokka

Aslında bir kanguru. Kanguru sınıflandırması içinde macropod cinsi içinde bulunuyor.
Yani “kanguruya benzeyen” cins içinde.

Dorcopsis literally look like someone stuck an Italian Greyhound head into a macropod

The quokka is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat, native to Western Australia. They are known as 'the world's happiest animals' due to their friendly nature and permanent smile.

Black Mufasa in Tasmania approaching a Macropod carcass. I’m thinking Kangaroo, but does anyone dispute?

If someone saw one of these Australian bush feral #megacats out on the streets of New York City, people will run. No one will be associating them with moggies.

Such a unique-looking macropod, the 'golden phase' swamp wallaby. Hadn't seen him in a while and he just zoomed by (chased by a large male eastern grey kangaroo) while I was birdwatching with a friend. Good surprise! #wildoz #wallaby #mammalwatching

Better add a crazy mutant kangaroo bombarding you with a mad macropod mauling in a RIPPER ROO RATIO

Tipping the scales at 85kg (185lbs, 385 stoats) the Red Kangaroo is the largest macropod (and marsupial) living in the world today (Freedman et al. 2020) #StoatsAsMeasurement #2021MMM academic.oup.com/mspecies/artic…

Tree-kangaroos are deeply nested within the macropod radiation, right? Could they actually be 'primitive' forms, the tree-climbing ancestors of terrestrial macropods? Welcome to the 'Tree-Kangaroos Come First' hypothesis... (an article I published in 2011) web.archive.org/web/2015060201…

Meet a Quokka, aka the world’s happiest animal, aka a Short-Tailed Scrub Wallaby. He 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.

Just a couple selfies with the most photogenic macropod at Australia Zoo… Daniel the wallaby 😁

The quokka also known as the short-tailed scrub wallaby is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat

Often referred to as the happiest Animal on the Planet

'Marsupials-you've-probably-never-heard-of'!!!

The musky rat-kangaroo is the smallest macropod (kangaroos, wallabies etc.) &, as the name suggests, has a distinctive musky odour...

They also have an opposable 5th digit!

Beautiful Quokka & baby 😍

They move very quickly. They are able to run at a speed of 50 km / h and jump several times higher than their own height.
The quokka (Setonix brachyurus) is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. It is the only member of the genus Setonix.

Saw my first musky-rat kangaroo this morning. Very small rainforest-dwelling omnivorous macropod with a gorgeous rusty red to deep grey pelagic. I was stoked #wildoz #Athertontablelands #mammalwatching

Helping Bushfire-Affected Wildlife:
• Put water out in trees & on the ground
• Don't feed wildlife unless the vegetation is destroyed completely, if so only give Macropod Pellets
• Keep cats + dogs inside
• Donate to wildlife rescue: wires.org.au

Nature is amazing. Here's a #dingo helping a tired macropod along a forest trail... ; )
