It is known for its perpetually happy expression and is sometimes referred to as "the world's happiest animal." The quokka is a herbivore and feeds mainly on grasses and leaves. Due to its friendly nature and cute appearance, the quokka has become a popular tourist attraction on Rottnest Island, where visitors can take selfies with the animals.

Fennec fox - The fennec fox is a small, desert-dwelling fox found in North Africa and the Middle East. It is known for its oversized ears, which it uses to dissipate heat in the hot desert climate.

It is sometimes kept as a pet in captivity, although this practice is controversial due to concerns about animal welfare.

Slow loris - The slow loris is a type of primate found in Southeast Asia. It is known for its big, round eyes, which are adapted for its nocturnal lifestyle, and its slow movements, which help it avoid detection by predators.

The slow loris is threatened by habitat loss and the illegal pet trade, and is listed as a vulnerable species by the IUCN.

Pangolin - The pangolin is a unique and unusual animal that is covered in protective scales made of keratin, which is the same material as human hair and nails. They are the only mammals in the world with this type of armor. Pangolins are found in Africa and Asia and are known for their slow movements and unique way of walking on their hind legs when threatened. They have a long, sticky tongue that they use to catch ants and termites, which make up the majority of their diet. Unfortunately, pangolins are highly sought after for their scales and meat, and all eight species of pangolins are threatened with extinction.
