Do you guys know about the quokka? It’s a cat-sized marsupial that lives almost exclusively on the Rottnest Island, a little seven by three mile speck off West Australia. Quokkas look like tiny kangaroos, except a bit rattier and with pleasant facial expressions. Here are nine quokkas just chillin’.

Not to say that wild animals should be captured and kept as pets, but really, most pets (assuming they're well cared for) who were born into domesticity lead much happier, easier, and longer lives than most wild animals.
