WHY IS THE QUOKKA IS THE HAPPIEST ANIMAL IN THE WORLD?

Early in 2015, a cute little Australian took the internet by storm. Quokka, its name, and smile- was her ticket to fame! Quokka come from the same family as the kangaroo (called Macropodidae) and are often referred to as the happiest animal in the world because of their cute cheeky grins

Where are quokka found?

 Quokkas are native to West Australia and are found mainly on Rottnest Island and Bald Island. Because of habitat destruction due to all that we label as “development”, quokkas are now considered vulnerable to extinction. They also face threats from foxes, cats and wildfires.

Despite their “vulnerable” status, this cute animal isn’t scared of humans. There was a selfie frenzy a few years ago featuring quokkas. And they happily obliged the tourists.

Conservationists have since issued guidelines- hugging and feeding quokkas is a punishable offense. This is because what we tourists may commonly tale to be a safe food for these critters may lead to teeth/ gum infections or premature death in them.

Here’s hoping that with the conservation efforts of sanctuaries and tourists, the quokkas keep smiling
