Australia & NZ (Land) -- Oct & Nov 2013

I believe this is a quokka, This is primarily based on comparing photos with those in a guidebook, Wiildlife of Australia" by Campbell and Woods (Pocket Guides, 2013, Princeton University Press). I'd sort of remembered it as being called a quoll. However, according to the photos in the book, the quoll has a longer snout (next photo is of this same animal). Australia has several interesting animals. In a way, it's kind of a shame that koalas, kangaroos, and Tasmanian devils have gotten all the publicity.
