Quokka is an almost extinct species of kangaroo and is said to be found only here in Western Australia.

Source Wikkipedia:
Quokkas reach a body length of 48 to 60 cm, the tail measures 25 to 35 cm. The weight of the animals is two to five kilograms. Her short, rough coat is dyed auburn, sometimes with a slight reddish tinge. The tail is relatively short and barely hairy. The physique is relatively stocky, as with most kangaroos, the hind legs are long and strong, but the front legs are short. Striking are the small, rounded ears, which are just sticking out of the head.
The IUCN estimates the total population of the quokkas at 8,000 to 17,000 animals, including 4,000 to 8,000 on Rottnest Island. The species is listed as "endangered" (vulnerable).

The special thing about these little animals is that they only exist here. They are very friendly and jump like little kangaroos.
