quokka
Australia's smiling mammal
A quokka is a small marsupial native to Western Australia, roughly the size of a domestic cat.
Known for their seemingly perpetual smile and lack of fear around humans, quokkas have become popular subjects for tourist selfies on Rottnest Island: We spotted a quokka on the hiking trail.
