Need we say more? These cute little marsupials have been labelled as the World’s Happiest Animals, and like the majority of us, they love a good selfie. Rottnest Island has become synonymous with the term ‘Quokka Selfie’ and people are flocking to our little island paradise just to get a snap with one of these friendly guys. So go find happiness with a #quokkaselfie and you’ll realise why we love these little guys as much as we do.
