Quëer Quokka

8

Ever heard of quokkas? That small, silly-looking macropod about the size of a domestic cat and only member of the genus Setonix, which, just like other marsupials in the macropod family, is herbivorous and mainly nocturnal, living in a small area of southwestern Australia? Exactly, that's the "happiest animal on the planet", known for its derpy perma-grin and the fact that it throws its babies at predators to cover its escape. Well, this is a queer quokka, its name is Herbert, and it's famous around the West Australian bush for its equally fabulous fashion sense and personality. Its gender is simply "Herbert", though some call it metro-, omni- or just pansexual - Herbert loves everyone, and whatever your species or sex, it'll find some way to put its love into you, babe. (In Gen-Z: This quokka is the rizzler, and it's gonna rizzle you up.)
