Quokka - Captive in wildlife park Around 10,000 Quokkas live on Rottnest Island today. Very small populations also survive in the mainland's south-west forests such as those near Northcliffe. Overall the species is listed as vulnerable due to predation by feral animals (cats and foxes), altered fire patterns and habitat loss.
