They also taste delicious and practically throw themselves onto the bbq in joy (they can't quite reach the hot plate so they rub against our ankles when they're ready to be eaten).

Jesus fuking upside down Christ!
Do we need to unleash the emus to cull the Australians population again?
don't they throw their children at predators to escape?
If mother die, child die by hunger if not by predator. Mother can make new child in relative short time compared to time to make new mother.
Most animal not incredible attached to offspring like human.
Human mothers will sell sexual access to their babies. Humans are animals.
What? What does this comment mean? Am I out of the loop with something?
It means what it says, it happens.
If animals do something, it's what the species does. If humans do something, it's just some odd freaks, and it doesn't reflect on us all.
odd how that works. we would make for a very dark nature documentary.
By say most animal not like human imply human is type of animal. Otherwise compare make no sense. "most flower not like human", yeah duh they not, they plant.
Also sex trafficker not human, do not imply they are.
Arranged marriages were very common throughout human history (and I believe it likely must still be in some places)
Are these the ones that throw their kids at predators
They’re also one of two animals in Australia that are actually trying to kill you. And really, the wombats are just doing it because the quokka made them.
It’s all part of their plan for world domination. Frankly, they can’t be any worse than the current crop, so all hail the Quoka overlords.
I’m new to this instance, but it being named after quokkas is like my favourite thing ever.
If my feed could just be quokkas, capybaras, and manul, that’d be great.
Join the quokk.au instance 😂
Just as long as they don't start trying to sell me car insurance.
you can tell they have an Australian accent
