Super Quokka!

When a cyclist in Australia stopped to visit with a little quokka, he got a warm welcome and a once-in-a-lifetime photo. At first, the quokka just posed for a quick selfie…

But the friendly quokka wanted more. “As I walked back to my bike, the quokka chased after me,” the cyclist said. “I put down the GoPro and it jumped at me as if to say come ‘come back’.” And that’s when this happened:

I jumped at the chance to post this, Murray C. (more at The Dodo.)

    All he needs is a little cape and a pair of tights.

    I was in Australia last month and I was crushed to learn that quokkas live only in western Australia . I wasn’t going there.

    I can’t tell if that’s a plea for attention or the world’s most congenial mugging. I have to imagine those claws and teeth could do some damage, but it’s like trying to imagine getting beat up by Mr Rogers.

    Just when I thought Q’s couldn’t get any cuter – “Hey, let’s go ride around!”

    I love the fact that they copyrighted the second picture!
