    It's unsettling. The uncanny valley of the animal world

    It doesnt look real but Quokka's exist. They live exclusively on a small island off the coast of Perth. Rottnest island. It's Dutch and it translates to the rat's nest.

    The mainly live on Rottnest but it’s not exclusive. There are small populations on the mainland as well. But they are threatened by predators and other human activities there and so populations have dropped dramatically since the 1930s. However, a population was just found in the Perth Hills late last year!

    It doesn't look real, but it's also not triggering my AI-radar.

    It looks stuffed, almost. Why is it eating a dead leaf? And those faces can't just be 'smiles'.

    Quokkas have a nickname; "happiest animal in the world". It's fully because they look happy, not because they actually are. They just happen to look happy most of the time for our brains to see them as that, and sadly that has started a trend of people getting them as pets, because people are idiots.
