	Quokka
		The Quokka is a small marsupial like the forest wallabies and tree kangaroo's of eastern Australia.
		Very active at night, the Quokka sleep (often in small groups) during the day in the shelter of dense vegetation, and at night time (being sociable)up to 150 adults converge on waterholes
		This is helped by the remarkable ability of the Quokka to reuse a portion of their bodies waste products.

	The Quokka Chronicles - National Wildlife Magazine
		Quokka expert Matt Hayward, a biologist and visiting fellow at the University of New South Wales, describes the animal as âa fairly nondescript, small, browny-gray kangaroo with little ears and a short, muscular but ratlike tail.â More rabbit- than cat-sized, the quokkaâs body is rounded and hunched, its face flat and eyes beady.
		Though quokkas were hunted and lost large swaths of habitat—to farming, mining and, especially, human changes to normal fire regimes—the biggest culprit was the nonnative red fox, deliberately introduced in the 1930s for hunting.
		The quokkaâs fate parallels that of dozens more Australian marsupials that have dramatically declined or disappeared from the mainland and survive only on islands—the opposite of the situation in most parts of the world, where islands tend to lose species the fastest.

	Quokka
		On the islands the quokka thrives in a wider range of habitats, including scrubby thickets and areas of dense grass.
		The quokka is a herbivore with a flexible diet, which allows it to survive when both food and water are scarce.
		This means that her single offspring, born about a month later, will be suckling in her pouch during times of food scarcity but will emerge in late winter or early spring to feed on the flush of vegetation that follows winter rains.
