Quokka
Description:
A rather small, quite adorable looking macropod, the quokka is also very docile. With only a very small mainland population, under threat from (introduced) foxes and cats, the population on Rottnest is also facing it's own problems with illnesses being compounded by inbreeding (and rather daft tourists who insist on feeding it whatever they have in their backpacks...).
