It looks like a parody animal animatronic in a hollywood comedy, i LOVE it XD

[-] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 week ago

Seriously. This isn't real, right?

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago

It’s real! Quokkas are like the happiest animals on Earth:

They even have a Lemmy instance!

quokk.au

Happiest looking, at least. I don't think they're actually delighted all the time?

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Probably not all the time, but on their island they have no natural predators, so they do live pretty carefree lives.

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

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago

Behold, the modern human. As they ponder a face of natural happiness they find it disturbing and untrustworthy.

Truly a fascinating species!

Hope one time everybody will be happy with simple things like these cute little lives.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

Yes most definitely

Not a care in the world. Love it

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.

[-] marsupial9272@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] cholesterol@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

The faces are that of a serial killer, smugly pleased with their work.

[-] OrderedChaos@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

The dead leaf looks to be a leaf that has two colors. The bottom is just more brown than green.
