Quokkas

These furry little guys are found only in a couple of places in Australia, but they are almost domesticated on Rottnest Island off the Western Australia coast from Perth. I spent a couple of hours pulling down braches and handing them to these cute little marsupials. Rottnest Island comes from the Dutch 'Rat's Nest', which is what the first Dutch explorers thought the Quokkas were.
