- [Narrator] This fuzzy little creature is a quokka.

And these guys live here off the west coast

Quokkas are not only cute, they are camera ready.

And they're taking the internet by storm.

It comes from the same family as a kangaroo.

And physically they've got thick brown fur,

they've got long tails and they hop around.

because they don't have any predators over here,

We have the largest viable population of about 10,000.

- My name's Cassyanna Gray, and I'm a conservation officer

- [Narrator] And there's one online trend

- [Narrator] These guys don't need the food.

- And they also really love the seedlings that we plant

that we have implemented by our environment technicians.

And what makes these guys so great for taking selfies?

- [Cassyanna] Around the settlement areas the quokkas

are a lot friendlier; they've become used to people,

But out in the reserve where they're actually still

- [Cassyanna] Yeah, they're not actually smiling

in the photos, it's just the natural shape of their mouth,

which makes them look like they're smiling.

has given us the opportunity to be able to raise awareness

about the quokka's particularly on the mainland

So we use that as a platform to educate the public

- [Narrator] So finally, a good cause for selfies.
