Quokka
In the wild, its roaming is restricted to a very small range in the South-West
of Western Australia. The Quokka has become rare, but remains a protected
species on islands off the coast of that area, Bald Island, Rottnest Island,
Garden Island and rarely Penguin Island. The islands are free of foxes and
cats. On Rottnest Island, it is common and occupies a wide range of habitats,
ranging from semi-arid scrub to cultivated gardens.It weighs 2.5 to 5 kg and
is 40 to 54 cm long with a 25 to 30 cm tail - which is rather short for a
macropod. It has a stocky build, rounded ears, and a short, broad head.
Although looking rather like a very small, dumpy kangaroo, it can climb small
trees and shrubs. Its coarse fur is a grizzled brown colour, fading to buff
underneath. The Quokka recycles a small amount of its waste products.The
Quokka is gregarious and gathers in large groups where food is available:
primary items are grasses, sedges, succulents and foliage. The health of some
animals has suffered significantly by the ingestion of inappropriate foods,
such as bread, given by well meaning visitors to Rottnest Island. Visitors are
now asked to refrain from feeding them. It breeds at any time on the mainland,
but in late summer on Rottnest. The Quokka only produces a single joey in a
year. Restricted availability of the trace element copper appears to be a
major limiting factor of the ability of the Quokka to breed on Rottnest.
