This little guy is called quokka. They only live on a small part of Australia, and they're unbelievably cute! Just found out about them today

Don't be fooled: this cute little creature would be glad to kill and devour you. It just can't.

Oh, I've been killed by a quokka too many times to count...

Of Australia

Of course it was... It is always Australia anyway.

Please when sharing wikipedia links remove the m. as the browser will decide if it wants the mobile version anyway. Thanks!

I didn’t share this originally. I used the crossposting feature. It should show that it was crossposted with a link to the original.

I don’t like reposting other people’s content directly, if I can help it. I like crossposting so the original poster still gets credit.

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay, that is fair.

However, we believe crossposts can still be edited, right?

I wasn’t sure so I checked after I saw your message. I can edit I the title, but that’s it. At least, that’s how it is from the Voyager app.

But your original comment was still good information for me. I can use that in the future.

Ah, okay. Thanks for letting me know.

Sure! Happy to help! It's just annoying to click a link and be on a page made for mobile when I don't want that on all my devices, heh. Not your fault though.
