The number one quokka documentary, The Truth About Quokkas 'Quokkamentary' takes a look into the happiest animal in the world, the Quokka. Find out how they rose to fame and what's really going on with quokkas, in the past and what lies ahead for their future.
Are Quokkas really happy and do they throw their babies at predators to defend themselves?
Thank you to Adelaide Zoo for helping us film with the Quokkas. They are working on an amazing conservation program which will hopefully expand in the future as an insurance policy for the Quokkas. Our hope is that more sanctuaries and zoos around the world join in managing Quokkas.

As someone that used to live and WA and visited a couple times over the years it was quite devastating to keep hearing about the development on the island. I don't understand why it isn't being protected...

[@Shahina456]

It really should be. The businesses want to make $ so not putting wildlife ahead of that. should do

[@Bundalaba]

Greed and shallow mindedness

[@Wolffur]

Some people really can't appreciate anything other than money. "What profiteth a man to gain the whole world, but to lose his soul?"

Membership to Rottnest Foundation purchased. Thanks for raising awareness of the challenges facing these adorable little critters!

[@daxon]

That's awesome thank you so much 🙌🙌

[@mindlessfun4804]

Don't believe charities which force you to donate set amounts. A true charity accepts any amount (+ transaction fees)

[@mayadraws7934]

This is the cutest thing in the world

It's so cute when they throw their babies to the predator to protect themselves 😍😍😍😍

This is truly priceless Daxon. Thank you for making this video factual, compelling and informative on how we can get involved. Of course, I was saying "how cute" every time I saw a quokka which was a LOT... I am going to share forward and also do what I can to help.

[@Nuraar1]

Awww thank you for bringing recognition to this issue. I know I'm late, but you're doing such a great job at bringing worldwide issues up, you def need more than just recognition.

[@suzannebethurum3738]

Membership done! This quokka-mentary was so informative! So many things I didn't know before. Thank you for your time and concerns for the quokkas! God bless!

[@mindlessfun4804]

...So, did you inform yourself how much money this charity actually spends on quokkas? If you say "100%", then I can surely say: You were born yesterday.

Glad you enjoyed it, it took way longer than expected 😲

[@ctiger8892]

Thank you so much for making this video. My family and I are huge animal lovers and want to see them treated well and fairly. I will pass this video along. Let's help those Quokkas and raise awareness on animal selfies!

[@andreaswehrmann365]

"Some people are even intentionally setting them on fire or throwing them into the water" I'm speechless ... Life in prison should be the answer for such behaviour.

[@mindlessfun4804]

...well, if the 50'000 dollar fine at least would go directly to help the quoakka...

[@Toxihex]

They think it's quirky and funny because they have close to no emotional intelligence. They're not even psychopaths or anything glamorized like that, they're just dumb enough not to be able to process how an animal's emotions are equal to those of a human. They process it the same way one does when you see it in a cartoon. They think it's daring and hilarious to see an animal squeal and run around on fire as if it was a practical joke you're pulling on a friend where person you set on fire will be spooked and have a funny reaction but be able to put it out immediately without harm. That's how their brains perceive it. It's literally a dangerous shortcoming of their brains which should absolutely be recognized as needing immediate psychological intervention. Stupidity isn't as simple as "bad at x/y", it's real biological issues that are dangerous and often extemely harmful.

[@suesmith4994]

How can you set them on fire, other than intentionally ??? To keep, to clothe, and feed them for years ??? C'mon, do the same to those retards, exactly as they abuse those cute little creatures !!!

[@indestructible222]

great documentary! really well done and i appreciate so much all you do for the animals. the topic is unfortunately bittersweet... by enjoying wildlife we're destroying natural environment. ☹️ this needs to go worldwide, people spread the word and share this awesome video! ❤️

[@mindlessfun4804]

You do realize that companies can help quokkas without donating to charities? Look at the laws! Did you think the fines increased because of some fringe environmentalists? NOPE! Lobyism by profiteers. Also, animal selfies are not abuse if the animal is comfortable. Classic instagram Black/white BS.

[@wioi]

*yeetus the fetus* LMAO 😂 this has to be the funniest thing I heard in my life. 😂

[@artemsergeev9265]

Great documentary! Thank you for your activities, Allan!

[@daxon]

It's not really a documentary as there isn't many interviews, it's just a really long talking video. 😅

Thank you very much for your work☺️ Watching this made me and my family smile non-stop🥰 Your enthusiasm and honesty in raising awareness about the Quokka threats is admirable❤️ I am happy you are doing this☺️

Honesty? How are you or anybody else supposed to know if this video was honest? Did you do independant research? No sources in the description.

You are an awesome human being i can see how much you truly love quokkas 🥺 we need more ppl like you who care. Ofcourse its always the greedy big companies. But damn you seriously deserve huge recognition!!! Great video for quokka beginners lol 👍🏻

[@JESUS.IS.LORD.AND.GOD.FOREVER]

I wish I had enough money just to purchase all the land that these lovely creatures live in so that not a single company can exploit or destroy their natural habitat and it could be a protected sanctuary that tourists would respect and adhere to strict laws. Damn it! It's always the rich that get richer and they never do anything worthwhile to protect this earth and it's wonderful wildlife. This video was so well made, entertaining, and very informative. Thank you Daxon for shedding light on what's been happening to the quokkas and letting us all know best we can get involved in helping them.

[@daxon]

Awesome feedback Riri Riri!! Thank you so much for your kind words! maybe one day you'll make it and then buy all the land to protect them

At this point, we should just go ahead and find a way to domesticate them and have them live with us. It's better to live on that way than to die out in the wild. We owe it to them to take care of them.

Thank u for bringing attention to our beautiful babies. 1.7mil umm 🤔 humans are so selfish. U literally helped an endangered Aussie animal life ❤️ along with all the beautiful people from the non profit. The big companies need to give more. It truly was ur selfie that brought attention to this… so again a huge heart felt thank u 🙏🏽 and that’s coming from a Perth local 😉 can’t believe they did that to develop this island when u brought so much attention to help our babies. Ah so frustrating.

Thank you. I was in Melbourne and do know nothing about Quokkas because I do not use Instagram. They really look nice, but I would not go to the island. Nature is best without human beeings in the area. But I could buy a toy and found some made of 100 % recycled PET bottles.

[@danielcollier3811]

The solution you should be advocating for is increased property tax ( double it), and increase operating fees for the ports and hotels, take that extra revenue and use it for conservation. Can't rely on businesses to voluntarily give back when they have a corporate mandate to maximize profit

[@MathieuPrevot]

Great video. Daxon, you need to privatize/buy lands like River Phoenix did in order to protect the wild. Maybe talk to Joachim Phoenix and other celebrities that came for selfies to incite them to do so ? Also maybe talk to parliament in order to introduce a systematic wild tax of tourism that is directly redirected to wild protection ? Imagine 5-9% of tourism and wood industry income for wild protection :D and this can last for generations !!! Love from Paris France.

Missed the chance to call this a Quokkumentary...

[@donnahilton471]

And they seem very tame. They don't seem to mind human company.🌹

[@nymphithys1558]

I really think its more likely that the Dutch explorer saw the amount of quokka's on this island, mistook them for giant rats because of their tails, and just called the island something like "Rat nest" (same meaning in dutch + english). Then the English colonies arrived, heard the pronounciation, and made it into Rottsnest. Because the dutch pronounciation of rat sounds almost identical to the english pronounciation of rot. Not sure though, it just seems more logical to me, because the dutch "rots nest" would translate to " rock nest" and the island doesn't look that extremely rocky to me. I know a similar thing happened in south africa atleast, when the Dutch colonies found rhino's with wider mouths than the rhino's theyve encountered before. The Dutch word for wide is wijd, which almost has the same pronounciation, except for the D at the end being pronounced as a hard T. The english then copied the pronounciation, making it into "white". So now we ended up with "White Rhino" species who actually aren't even white, haha. Love these kind of stories!

[@nonamenoname9322]

Technically aren’t bushfires natural? Humans have been suppressing natural wildfires for hundreds of years even though they’re crucial for destroying invasive non-native plants and for recycling nutrients back into the environment.
