Question

Do quokkas have predators?                         

Answer 1

Yes, quokkas have predators such as foxes, dingoes, feral cats and dogs, and snakes. Reduction in predators is one of the reasons why quokkas are only found on some islands off the coast of Western Australia, where they are protected and where predators have been eradicated. However, on the mainland, quokkas face threats from introduced predators and habitat loss.

Answer 2

Yes, quokkas do have predators. Some of their natural predators include dingoes, foxes, feral cats, and birds of prey. These predators pose a threat to quokkas, especially the young and vulnerable individuals. However, due to their unique habitat on Rottnest Island, where they have limited natural predators, quokkas have thrived and are known for their relatively fearless and friendly behavior towards humans.

Answer 3

Quokkas do have some natural predators, including snakes, dingoes, and birds of prey like eagles and owls. However, their size and behavior, such as hiding in dense vegetation or climbing trees, help to protect them from predators. The main threat to quokkas is habitat loss due to human activities.
