As usually I spend way too much of my time on the internet yesterday. And then I stumbled upon this: a quokka. This small little creature is only to be found in western Australia. This is what Wikipedia says about it:
The quokka /ˈkwɒkə/ (Setonix brachyurus), the only member of the genus Setonix, is a small macropod about the size of a domestic cat. Like other marsupials in the macropod family (such as the kangaroos and wallabies), the quokka is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal. It can be found on some smaller islands off the coast of Western Australia, in particular on Rottnest Island just off Perth and Bald Island near Albany. A small mainland colony exists in the protected area of Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve, where they co-exist with Gilbert's potoroo.
HOW CUTE IS THIS CREATURE?! This is probably the happiest thing on the planet. It just looks so happy. How cute! I can't stop looking at it. From now on, whenever I'm sad, I'll just look at these pictures and be instantly happy again. (:
