The Quokka is a sociable animal, living in colonies and gathering in large groups where food is available. It nests in tall grasses, and makes "tunnels" through the grasses along its common pathways. The Quokka's physical movements are similar to a kangaroo, using a mixture of small and large hops, and walking by supporting itself with its short forelimbs while its more powerful hindlimbs take the weight of its body. Due to its constant exposure to tourists on Rottnest, these quokkas have no fear of humans, but in the few wild and isolated colonies on the mainland, it is more reclusive. The quokka is herbivorous in its feeding habits and mainly nocturnal, or crepuscular, meaning it comes out to feed at dawn and dusk.
