Quokkas have earned a global reputation for themselves as “the happiest animal in the world”. But it’s not just their perpetually smiling appearance that makes them seem cheerful - a result of the shape of their face and panting habit - but also their idyllic island home. With abundant resources and a lack of natural predators on the island, Rottnest Island is home to the world’s largest population of quokkas.
