Seriously. This isn't real, right?
It’s real! Quokkas are like the happiest animals on Earth:
Happiest looking, at least. I don't think they're actually delighted all the time?
Probably not all the time, but on their island they have no natural predators, so they do live pretty carefree lives.
They even have a Lemmy instance!

It's unsettling. The uncanny valley of the animal world
Behold, the modern human. As they ponder a face of natural happiness they find it disturbing and untrustworthy.
Truly a fascinating species!
