lmao 5:02. "As weird as that might sound, there are a lot of animals that eat poop pretty regularly. My friend Emily..." I at first thought you were going to say Emily eats poop.

[DrMcNinja]

Ejecting their baby as a distraction meal... God damn. That's cold.

[PowahSlapEntertainmint]

Looks like a squirrel and a kangaroo had a baby.

[jerdasaurusrex]

5:07 I honestly thought for a moment you were going to say your friend Emily eats poop.

I live in Western Australia and spent a lot of my childhood on Rottnest Island. Love Quokkas!

[theradioactivetoothpastesh]

Meanwhile on the other side of Australia lives the Tasmanian devil. The exact "opposite" of this furry creature 😅

[prtty_leii]

one of the most amazing quokkas i've seen is han jisung

[zoe-htmh]

Oh. Hi Jisung. Never thought that you’d end up here.

[zaaya]

[Lyheevan]

I'm here for my Quokka-Han Jisung

[LittleMissStamper]

Totally thought she was gonna say "My friend Emily eats her poop", lol. Poor Emily 😂

[spotliker]

Went to rottsnest island one. I went biking with the family, then saw a couple of quokkas. Since it was a hot day I got my bottled water out a poured some on my hand and held it out for the quokkas to drink. They were so cute! They just licked at my hand and were so gentle. 5 minutes later there are 7 of them surrounding us all wanting to get water, lol!
