Your Quota of Quokka

Instagrammer shares the world’s friendliest animal

When it’s dreary and you need something cheery, there’s one place to go: the Instagram page of CruzySuzy, devoted to Australia’s marvelous marsupial, the quokka.

The quokka is nature’s cartoon character, with bright sparkling eyes, fuzzy little ears, button noses, and best of all, that infectiously cheerful quokka smile.

And because quokka are marsupials, they carry their babies in pouches, which makes for adorable moments like this one:

But beware: Behind that cheerful smile, beneath those innocent eyes, lurks… pretty much the most pleasant, friendly, unassuming animal you’ve ever met.

    I always feel like quokka are thinking, “I is cute. Give me noms.” when I see pictures of them.

    Mom & bebe quokka – synchronized nomming! And the last one looks like he nibbled his leaf into a heart – sigh, I’m now a puddle.
