Its called a quokka Jess , its a small marsupial sort of a cross between a large rat like creature which is isn't and a tiny and I mean tiny kangaroo, they inhabit and island of the coast of Perth , called Rottnest
Yes Jess unfortunately to friendly and people take advantage of that a lot of drunken yobbos play what they call Quokka soccer and kick them around and last year 2 dutch tourists got a spray can and set fire to one , they are very inquisitive creatures
Poor quokkas, some people are horrible. Would love to see one, seen wallabi's in a wildlife park but not kangaroos or quokkas. I wonder why animals that jump are in Australia and why do they need to do that instead of run.
Ah cant answer that at all but here are 2 photos I took one night while at work the kangaroo is called a boomer which is a male roo he was nearly 6ft tall and ended up standing strait up and looking over the bonnet of my vehicle
@meJess: Well out where I was is in the middle of know where about 1000 miles north of Perth in the bush and they stand on the side of the roads at night to have a feed on the grass and if your going to fast you have to be careful as they tend to jump in all directions and 9 out of 10 times it will be strait in front of a car or truck they get blinded by the head lights and just stand there.
