What is the Quokka's life cycle?

Quokkas are able to breed from around eighteen months of age. Breeding season on Rottnest Island is from January to August, but on the mainland occurs all year around. Being a marsupial and a member of the kangaroo famy, the female gives birth to a single young about thirty days after mating. The joey is born blind and hairless, but makes its way by instinct to the mother's pouch where it latches onto a teat. the teat swells in its mouth, securing it in place. It stays in the pouch for about six months, but after leaving the pouch will continue to feed from its mother for another two months.
