A couple visiting Rottnest Island in October captured an adorable moment featuring a baby quokka snacking on fresh leaves.

Dylan deHaas and his wife Sarah captured the little marsupial nibbling on fresh leaves while his wife got up close and personal for some selfies.

DeHaas told Storyful that the couple followed proper etiquette when trying to get closer to the quokkas.

“Being respectful we gave them space until they felt comfortable. That’s when we decided to get a few pictures,” deHaas said.

Quokkas are naturally curious animals and and are endemic to the island. They are well-known for featuring in pictures with visitors.

“They are just the cutest animals!” he said about the little marsupials. “Always looking like they are smiling.” Credit: Dylan deHaas via Storyful
