The much-loved marsupials have a defined breeding season which is typically from January to August with most births occurring between February and April.<\/p>\n
However, an essential part of their development is dependent on six months in the pouch before emerging, so, quokka joeys don\u2019t venture out on their own until August or early September.<\/p>\n
Adorable footage has been shared on Instagram of an emerging joey exploring the island in the winter sunshine, and many were quick to comment on the sweet and inquisitive nature of the young quokka.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly thing cuter than a quokka is a baby quokka \ud83d\udc9a\ud83e\udd70,\u201d one person commented.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to see this little guys in person just once in my life, cutest things I\u2019ve ever seen. \ud83e\udd79,\u201d said another.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo adorable,\u201d said a third.<\/p>\n
Rottnest Island\u2019s quokkas are endemic to WA and the \u2018quokka selfie\u2019\u2014 where budding quokka fans snap a selfie with the smiley marsupials \u2014 has been achieved by world-famous faces, including Chris Hemsworth, Shawn Mendes, and Katy Perry.<\/p>\n

Their \u2018smile\u2019 isn\u2019t a sign of continual excitement, but is actually the result of jaw shape and resting facial expression, according to Vocal Media.<\/a><\/p>\n
