The quokka

A quokka is a marsupial. It is a sort of small wallaby and about the size of a cat. It lives in a small part of Western Australia. (On the map WA is short for Western Australia.)
Quokkas are herbivores. They eat grass and leaves from juicy plants.
Quokkas have thick, brown fur and round, fluffy ears.
A quokka has a long tail.
Just like all marsupials, the mum keeps her baby in her pouch. And a baby quokka is called a joey.
