They are actually nocturnal animals. Only because of the closer of the people they come out to eat during the day. But they actually don't like the sunlight (they are prey animals). So it closes its eyes.
I like how this critter doesn't eat it super fast like their life depends on it. It just chills and takes it's time to enjoy it, it even looks like it's smiling!
Accurate. Quokkas have no natural predators. They live on an island pretty much all to themselves off the western coast and given it's a major tourist trap and camping area, they're pretty used to humans too.
they do have known predators? dingoes and birds or prey for one, and then dogs, cats, and foxes as well. Also i dont think you know how big they get either. they can be like a foot and a half tall.
@@Greeblen I'm sure you may know this, but the misconception that quokka have no natural predators comes from a place called Bald Island, which some call "quokka island". A population of 600-1000 quokka live there and in that specific location there are no predators. This became pretty widespread and turned into the "quokka have no predators" you see here.
Had an anxiety attack couple hours ago and used my last drops of energy to come home and go to my bed to fall asleep. Pretty much just woke up and saw this video. First wanted to skip but then it was like, yes. Yes I want to see this animal eating a leaf. I need this now. So thank you, you helped me
I like how the leaf was extremely noticeable, like how in older animations you can tell what's about to be interacted with because it's drawn differently to the background.
@@odinalastor4175 If you mean about the animation tpthing, I think it's because still backgrounds used to be made in a different method/medium, not on an animation cell. Like they're not going to animate every leaf moving in a forest, so someone painted the background and anything that moved was drawn on animation cells. At least, that's what I remember. There was a great clip I saw ages ago of an anime or cartoon where the characters were running in a chase scene and one of them noticed the floor was different and explained how they knew they should avoid walking there because that floor was sure to give way. Then the 'background' piece of ground they were standing on crumbled away under them xD It was pretty good, I wish I could find it again.
Until 4 minutes ago, I had never heard of a quokka. Thanks for posting. 🙂 An now, thanks to AnimalFactGuide, I learned: Quokkas are herbivores who primarily feed at night, meaning they are mainly nocturnal. They eat the leaves, stems, and bark of many plants in addition to grass. If necessary, they can survive for long periods of time without food or water by living off the fat stored in their tails. Groups of quokkas live in territories, which are defended by dominant males. They often live in tall grass near water sources. Quokkas can also climb trees! The island of Rottnest near Perth, Australia is the primary home of the quokka, a type of marsupial. Aside from Rottnest Island, small groups of quokkas also inhabit the mainland in Western Australia, as well as Bald Island, a small island to the southwest.
This video was everything that was promised about a Quokka eating a leaf, and more! Bravo! That was definitely two minutes and twenty seconds well spent. I particularly loved the considered methodical way in which the Quokka munched the leaf, and the blissful expression on his cute little face throughout the whole endeavour.
That's what they're famous for. The Smiling Macropod. Also, they aren't human shy at all, and don't typically run when approached. So you can observe these little guys from a lot closer than normal. Keep in mind that they're still wild animals, so not too close! But you can typically get within 10 feet of them without any issues.
I don't think I ever heard of a quokka before. Cute!! Give he/she more leaves to eat!!! Looks like a kangaroo behind and a groundhog in the front! Cute!!!
I've never heard of them before either until yesterday. On a post for *"What's your favorite animal?"* someone answered *quokka,* so I had to look it up and now I'm watching lots of videos about them because they are *SO ★ DARN ★ ADORABLE ★ !!!!!!* 😍😘💜💗💙💓💚💖💛💝💘💟💞
Squee! What a lovely little critter. I had to search a bit of information about the little one, had never seen one before. They are just really adorable 😊 Thanks for posting.
They are the most excruciatingly cute critters, ever, with a perpetual smile on their face. In fact this is the first time I've seen one who didn't have that goofy grin. Still too adorable though. 🥰
I don't know why this was recommended to me at all, but I do appreciate discovering a new species that I never knew existed in the first place, and on top of that it's too darn cute!
This is the most satisfactory video i have ever seen on youtube. Especially his closed eyes. It seems to me that he is savoring the taste of the leaf!!! How adorable!
Because of this video, quokkas are now my favorite animals. They look like groundhog and chipmunk hybrids, yet really adorable. Thank you recommended page, this was exactly what I wanted to see toady
@sphynx: content of character, not physical feature The cutest little rodents in the world today. Native to Australia. On the West side (Rottnest Island off Perth mainly, they are a big bucket list item for me as I live on the opposite side of the country. Look for more youtubes .. you won't stop smiling : )
just watching quokkas makes me so happy i love these little ones 🥺🥺 lets protect them and their habitat to prevent them going extinct the world would be a lot darker without them💕
Nearly all of them are on Rottnest Island off the coast of Perth in Western Australia. There are no motor vehicles allowed on the island except for Emergency Services. They're doing pretty well. :)

The most delicious leaf ever.
So do I. And the background sound! The sound of Australia!
And just when I was looking forward to a heavily commented countdown of the top 10 clips of a Quokka eating a leaf
It's adorable. 🥰
That looks like a bay leaf. Dry and stiff. Not appetizing at all!
Eyes half closed, with a smile, enjoy the leaves with 2 little hands, under the sunshine 🌞... How healing
it's giving the sense of trust in life.
imagine being that satisfied with a leaf. so cute

A sign that the quokka feels safe?

I really like the way you described the way it eats. So true!
Takes its* time.
It ate the whole leaf and looked smiley all throughout the munch. What a little cutie. Leaf looked kinda dry to me...
must be like a potato chip
It sure did look like it was smiling! Beatrix Potter world have adored drawing this cutie!
Leaf chips
@@erismana2105 lol
Cuz its dried leaf tho, not fresh bought
The way he closes his little eyes while he chews. Adorable.
That's because they are nocturnal animals
@@dhanushr04 Are you telling me he's sleep eating? Cause if he is that's even more adorable!! JK.
Imagine being so small. So adorable and so innocent…… and having no known predators. It’s amazing what evolves when threat is removed.

Praise them!

Do you think its an other quokka taking the video ?
Its simple.Just mute your volume,duh..

With all that's been going on in the world, now, more than ever we need videos of quokkas eating leaves.
This video: wanna see a quokka eat a leaf?
Me: that's EXACTLY what I want!
@Digby Dooright they are native to Australia.
“Want to see a Quokka eat a leaf?” Yes. Yes I do. I really, really do.
That was every bit as wonderful as I anticipated. 🥰 I love him.
unlike me, i had zero interest in watching a quokka..
so glad i did though 😊
😊
want to bore the whole youtube comment section? Yes. Yes I do. I really, really do
that was every bit as shit as i anticipated. piss off lmao
this video shows exactly what it says it will. Thanks mate, youtube needs more people straight to the point like that!
THIS TH-cam PERSON GETS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!? (Not clickbait!)
Do you think my videos are straight to the point too?? What can I do to improve?
We now know that a quokka can down a leaf under 2 minutes. 🤣
he deserves this treat. a lovely leaf, the warm sun, a nice companion… savor every bite, little quokka!
This is great! No Music, no Commentary or bothering the Animal.Lovely!
I like that the quokka didn't have a 5 minute intro about how it got the leaf and how healthy it is, just got straight to the content.
Great quokka!
Lol true.
And it didn't say, "please smash that like button if you want to see more content like this and subscribe because it really helps me out."

I like how the leaf was extremely noticeable, like how in older animations you can tell what's about to be interacted with because it's drawn differently to the background.
WTF.
did they actually think-
Makes me wonder if it was set there by the camera person since there's no other leaves around it. Either that or this is a very leaf-hungry quokka.
I've always noticed that and wondered why.

well said! until he got caught up in the moment and abandoned his methodology, now moving to the bottom part of the leaf 😆
I’ve never heard of these and they’re so cute. 🥰 cuteness overload.
Fun fact, these things evolved to have 0 fear from humans
The result- people love taking selfies with them
Same thing I said, they’re super cute! 🥰
Yeah the only reason why I knew what they are because the health insurance adds
@@Konpekikaminari they had fear of kids in the late 80s early 90s. They never used to let kids or adults get too close then.

Didn't know quokkas existed until, like, two minutes and twenty seconds ago.
As it turns out: Yes, I did want to watch one eat a leaf.
It looks like a chimera of koala , otter and squirrel lol
