The Happiest Creature in the World

There are a few things in the world that tend to make people smile: a baby giggling, seeing a friendly face you haven’t seen in a while, and a Quokka. Okay, so you may not be smiling at a Quokka just yet, but bear with me. Quokkas, also known as short tailed scrub wallaby, are marsupials native to Australia.

According to Natureaustralia.org, there are around 10,000 Quokkas on Rottnest Island and there adorable faces attract tourists from all over to join in the trend of taking a selfie with them. The biggest tips to succeed in the selfie are to let the Quokkas come to you and don’t touch them!
