The Quokka We are wondering what makes the
quokka unique?
  • By Alexis and Diane

2
Where can we find this unusual animal?
Quokkas live on an island called Rottenest Island
southwest of Australia. Some Quokka live in wet
woods too. They love warm temperature. They are
nocturnal so you have to look for them at night.
Some even live in the Swan Coastal Plain in Perth
and Pinyin around swamps and streams!
3
What does the Quokka look like?
Quokkas are small and look like a wallaby or a
kangaroo. They are even bigger than a house cat
NOT a kitten! They have thick gray or brown fur.
They have round bodies and face with small
pointed ears. They also have a short, stiff and
hairless tail. They are marsupials which means
they have a pouch like a kangaroo.
4
What does the Quokka eat?What eats the Quokka?
Quokkas eat leaves. All sorts of leaves! They
even eat strong grass. The babies only drink a
little of mothers milk each day. Quokkas also
drink water too just like they drink milk. They
eat all this food at night like bats do.
5
How does the Quokka take care of its babies?
Quokkas live in groups led by a male. Quokkas
have babies, called joeys, just like kangaroos.
Joeys stay in the mothers pouch for 5 months
then in the next 2 months the Joey leaves the
pouch. The babies dont drink too much milk. They
drink about a cup of milk a day. This is quiet
interesting because most mammals drink milk, most
of the day! So it might mean like 19 hours. I
also think Dingoes eat them.
6
How does the Quokka communicate?
  • I did not find any information about how the
    Quokka communicates but I think it makes like a
    soft whisper or sounds like nuts cracking or
    something like that but Im sure it makes sounds.
    Or else it would be weird because every animal
    should talk. So Im sure the Quokka makes sounds
    just like every animal in Australia.

What makes the Quokka unique?
  • The Quokka is unique because it is one of the
    very first mammals in Australia! They also are
    unique because they are only found in Australia.
    Even because they are nocturnal mammals in
    Australia. Also because when they were babies
    they drank about a cup of milk each day. Also
    because the Joey stays with the mother for
    7 months. Which is quite interesting but sad
    enough for the family.

Reflections
  • When I worked on my Australian animal report I
    learned how to copy and paste my paragraph on to
    my Power Point. I also learned about a unique
    Australian animal called a Quokka. I learned how
    to copy pictures from the Internet into my Power
    Point. I even learned how to do a Power Point by
    myself. I had a good time doing it by myself.
    This is my first Power Point I ever did in my
    whole entire life!
