I heard that quokkas can’t reach the leaves that they eat. If this indeed the case they must have evolved incredible cuteness to get taller species to give them what they want.

Quokkas are so cute! They give a prairie dog a run for its money as most huggable animal!

In reply to Vicki Hill. That is hilarious. Just yesterday, as we were leaving Rottnest Island, Jamie told a worker who was attempting to move three bicycles at once, "I'm rooting for you." She wouldn't believe me when I told her what it meant, so I'm happy that you confirmed it less than 24 hours later.

I was in Australia about 100 years ago. It was there in Sydney that I met my first koala bear. The gracious zookeeper invited me to nurse the little bucket of love. (Yes, NURSE!) I, having weaned my firstborn in order to make the trip to Australia, blushed, coughed, cackled, and politely declined. It was a few days later when I learned that to ‘nurse’ a thing is merely to hold it. No breasts involved whatsoever. Only one of many blunders this blonde made while making my way down-under. (Let’s just leave it at this, as I’m sure you already know: Never tell an Ozzie that you root for the Cowboys.)
