Hopefully they've learned after you know... me

I'd think twice before messing with them... look at those claws. (top left pic)

There's no such things as no natural predators... Mosquitoes, parasites, and bacteria all love a good mammal
ItWasCool
I read your statement wrong, so let me correct myself: Mosquitoes, parasites, ect are not predators because they don't kill their "prey"...
with intent. They live off off of them. Parasites would die themselves if they kill their host.

Then some fuckwits from France go and set one on fire.
Fatdicksinmybutt
Fuck those guys

By the way there's a $300 fine if you touch one, but I'd pay it gladly
crushingmissy
Uh, except that they are extremely territorial and rip each other apart. And do bite humans... So, there's that.

other than the typo how can you not know the difference between Koalas and capybaras?

They're from the south western most point of Australia. I guess it's an island...

I want to meet one of these one day.

Rottnest Island, off the coast of Western Australia

It's Rottnest island. Pretty much of the coast of Perth (but you catch the ferry from Fremantle). Let me know when you go. I'll come with!
TheSecretLifeOfMsSnitty
Rottnest Island in Australia. I’m Australian & I adore them. ? Anyone who visits, pl keep the area clean & ensure people treat them kindly.
Pattosaurus20xx
Austria, near germany but a little tipsy
Tipsy, like they are day drinking every day? I could move there!
Something like that, bring ya thongs and boots
MaxIn
apparently there are snakes on that Island that prey on them, but on bald Island they have no predators
And fuckwits go there and abuse the animals. I hate people so much sometimes
Daniferd
Get the pitchforks. We gonna have a good lynchin'

How can I get one as a pet?

You can.

You can't

I want one as a wise-cracking mechanic on board my battered up but fast as hell starship...

So how do they taste?
Not as good as me I hope
Wyattcon11
I'm going to say that since they survived through the age of sail, not as good as Dodo
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
The sailors who discovered the island thought they were giant rats. Humans have an instinctual aversion to rats, so I doubt they ate any.

Only about 40 % that's less than half not most. You're at least 11% off

That may be true. My father had no sense of smell at all, he once told me that onions and apples tasted exactly the same.

Even the name quokka. It would be hard to give such a cute name some animal that ears it's pretty alive or is a terrible parasite.

thanks

Holy shit no, quokkas are very easily stressed out and people are harming their environment doing this, there's even a large (1)
Fine for taking pictures with them, please don't share this it's quite harmful (2)
There is a fine for touching quokkas, and of course tourists are not supposed to feed them. They're not stressed by the human presence...
MiddlestOne
My sister camped on the island and now dislikes quokkas. They prevented any sleep at night.
kromosdomos
If they're anything like Koalas, Possums or any of the other bizarre wildlife down here, their night noises sound like a banshee orgasming.
though since they haven't evolved to fear predation.On the contrary.They actively seek contact with humans out of curiosity &hope for treats
Oh my bad, it's still negative to have such human influence on any animal population, especially in such a short time
watdefuqBoi
There’s absolutely no environmental or reproductive repercussions to anything that’s been done here. Come off it
Except people littering and feeding the animals, not only that but a human presence is v unnatural and alters their behaviour
Oh, it certainly is. The biggest dangers are people feeding them unsuitable foods like snacks & sweets that ruin their sensitive folivore...
digestive systems, as well as the pollution assiociated with tourism & the risk of reverse zoonotic diseases. But stress is not the issue.
