G’day! Byron the Quokka here with a special treat sent to us by Phoebe–top-secret video of a bunch of us quokkas snacking on leaves. We call them “ponga leaves” so that humans won’t come along and take ’em all.
We can never understand why humans don’t like leaves. You don’t know what you’re missing! And they’re good for you, too. A woman named Smith ate leaves and lived to be 120 years old. You could look it up!
We hope you appreciate this wee glimpse through a keyhole into the lovely motel room of quokka cuisine. I am working hard on my metaphors!
Gotcha, Byron. I have eaten leaves most of my life. There were spinach, chard, etc. Must say, they are not my favorite foods, but not bad. Promise, I won’t try to take yours away.
Our leaves are crunchier than yours.
It’s such a joy to watch quokkas enjoying their food.
Glad to see you today!
Thanks for the quokka video.
Are any of the quokkas you Byron?
So adorable
