quokka

This little creature seemed keen to be photographed - even for a quokka .

这个小家伙看起来很爱拍照喔--即使它是一只短尾矮袋鼠。

He posted the picture four weeks ago , but it started getting more attention online after it was featured on the quokka appreciation page Instaquokka last Sunday .

他四周前就将这些照片上传到网上了，不过直到上周日，照片被特别分享到短尾矮袋鼠爱好者账户Instaquokka后，才引起了更多人的关注。

For their next piece of GPS art , the group plans to draw a local animal such as the quokka .

谈到他们下一件GPS艺术作品，该团队打算画一只诸如袋鼠之类的澳大利亚本土动物。

Unlike a frightening number of Australian animals , the Quokka poses no threat to humans , and as these pictures make abundantly clear can be quite friendly .

在澳大利亚，能对人类构成威胁的动物多得可怕，但短尾矮袋鼠却不具有威胁力，而且，正如照片里看起来的那样，它们非常友好。

Meet the Quokka , a marsupial that seems to have come straight from an animator at Disney , but is actually native to a small corner of southwestern Australia .

短尾矮袋鼠是种有袋类哺乳动物，看起来就好像是迪士尼里的卡通形象一样，而它实际上是澳大利亚西南角一小块区域的一种特有动物。

That friendliness may partially explain why , according to the Perth Zoo , the once-plentiful Quokka was drastically reduced in number after the dingo and foxes found their way to Australia .

根据澳大利亚珀斯动物园的说法，正是因为它们很友好，也在一定程度上可以解释了：为什么在澳洲野狗和狐狸来到澳大利亚后，一度众多的短尾矮袋鼠数量急剧下降。

He told Perth Now the quokka chased after him as he was biking on Rottnest Island , and that it jumped at his GoPro camera after he put down the device .

琼斯在接受《珀斯在线》采访时表示，当他在罗特内斯特岛骑行时，这只短尾矮袋鼠一直跟着他。待他停好车后，这个小家伙一下跳到了他的运动相机的镜头前。
