I don't know what that is, but it's from Australia, so I assume it has deadly poison fangs behind that smile.

It's a quokka.

The Quokka has no fear of humans and it is common for it to approach them

Why would it be afraid of humans when it has deadly poison fangs?

The oil in its fur is probably a deadly neurotoxin. Pet it for too long and bam you're dead.

It's a Quokka. Picture almost certainly taken on Rottnest Island.

Oh why the fuck you do that to me? On my way to work this morning I realized too late that a squirrel was running across the road. I couldn't stop in time and I heard this horrible noise of something getting crushed under car tires.

I went like fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck oh shit shit fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Couple of tears rolled down my eyes and I couldn't concentrate on much of anything till I got to work. Then I got busy and forgot till I saw this. Now I am going oh fuck fuck...

Quokkas are the best! I visited Rottnest Island a few years ago and these little guys were everywhere! Very, very friendly too - I had one come up to me and start licking my leg randomly, then he decided to chill with me for the rest of the afternoon.

Strange that the first explorers name it Rat's nest" island as they thought they were rats, too cute to be rats.

I use to work on the island these little bastards inhabit. It was one of my tasks to sweep the courtyard of the hotel/bar every morning. They shit everywhere (kinda like rabbit shit), drink the spilt booze and chow down on smoke butts. Occasionally I would come accross one that wouldn't move when prodded with the broom due to being drunk off spilt beer. Also, some of the Quokkas around the bars had to be shipped off the island to a mainland rehab center to break their addiction to tobacco. The animals hanging round the human areas looked pretty mangy due to their diets.

I am rereading Speaker of the Dead. This is similar to what I imagine the Pequeninos look like.

you said it would make me smile....I don't think you know how long I've been browsing reddit, and how many cute ass things I've seen. But this got a slight grin out of me.

It did not make me smile, but it's a great picture.

Also, if this is an Australian creature it's going to have some kind of poison oozing out of its pelt that will melt your internal organs if you get so much of a sniff of it.
