Trivia: Rottnest Island is known for what photogenic forest dwellers?
Quokkas
Wallaroos
Sugar gliders
Dugongs
The correct answer is Quokkas
So why is this answer correct? : This tiny island off the coast of Perth is home to some of the friendliest macropods in the world: quokkas. The island was mistakenly named “Rotte Nest” (Rats’ Nest) by Dutch explorers when they first mistook these tiny animals for rats. Quokkas are macropods, part of the same family as kangaroos and wallabies. Today, most of Australia’s quokkas — around 10,000 — live on Rottnest.
