Habitat Live in Australia on Rottnest Island, Bald Island, and the mainland Often live in tall grass near a fresh water source Defended by the dominate males About 10,000 quokkas inhabit Rottnest Island

History of Habitat In 1969, a Dutch sailor, Willem de Vlaming traveled to what is now Rottnest Island Thought Quokkas were large rats Named the island Rattenest (Dutch for rat’s nest) Eventually became Rottnest Island

Diet Are herbivores Leaves, stems, bark, fruits, berries, and grass Feed at night

Threats Man Made Declining population, from human development Visitors have killed quokkas out of cruelty Natural On the mainland-foxes, dogs, and cats Developing muscular dystrophy, a disease in which muscles get damaged and weakened

Adaptations Marsupial- have pouches They swallow their food without chewing Can store fat in their tails to live off of so they can live without food or water for a little Can climb trees
