where do quokkas live

Quokkas live only in a small corner of southwestern Australia, mostly on a few islands and in nearby coastal and forest habitats. Their most famous stronghold is Rottnest Island near Perth, where they are common and easy to see.

Main places quokkas live

• Southwestern mainland Western Australia, in scattered bushland and forest between Perth and Albany.

• Rottnest Island (just off Perth), which has the largest and best-known population, often seen around paths, scrub, and even gardens.

• Bald Island near Albany, another predator‑free refuge with a smaller but important population.

Their natural habitat

• Dense vegetation near swamps, streams, and wetlands on the mainland, where thick cover helps them hide from predators.

• Shrubland, heath, and semi‑arid scrub on islands, plus sheltered thickets they use as cool, shady daytime hideouts.
