The Quokka, an irrestistibly adorable and happy-looking marsupial native to Australia, is now at the epicenter of what is possibly the cutest trend we've ever seen – the Quokka selfie.

Due to their 'vulnerable' status in the IUCN Red List, handling these critters is a crime, but they are not afraid of humans and will readily approach them, so taking a selfie with one shouldn't be too difficult. And given how happy they always looks, it's almost like they like the attention!

Quokkas, native to Rottnest Island, off Perth, Western Australia (where I grew up) are not rodents (the rat family). They are marsupials.

    Have you ever considered enjoying life? It's more fun that way. Just a thought. PS - making fun of peoples appearance is "ugly".

    They're endangered and can only be found on a small island off the coast of Western Australia so they're not for pets.

    Why? So it can die a slow horrible death at your place? Unless you have ready access to littoral samphire you won't even be able to feed it.
