Is this the best quokka selfie ever? 😍 | PerthNow

When in Rottnest Island (Wadjemup), try stopping yourself from swooning and snapping selfies with the adorable local quokkas. These friendly marsupials are regularly encountered foraging for food and hopping around Perth’s extraordinary island paradise, just remember to be respectful of our little furry pals. 📷: Jack Robinson in Destination Perth | Western Australia

Quokkas are herbivores which is why you will see them munching on leaves, seeds, and shrub buds! They are also nocturnal so you may spot some snoozing under trees during your next visit. 🌿😴 Help us keep our quokkas safe and healthy by not touching, feeding, or giving water to them and always observing from a safe distance. 📹 (IG) lucynak.wild #RottnestIsland | Rottnest Island, Western Australia

🔊 Sound up for munching sounds! Did you know quokkas can climb for their food? This mum and baby joey were spotted reaching for the perfect branch to munch on. 🌿 📹 IG) aeroture_aus ✋ As exciting as it is to see a quokka in the wild, make sure you always admire from a respectful distance, especially from young joeys, and never feed or touch them. | Rottnest Island, Western Australia
