Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Its a quokka, they can only be found on Rottnest Island, just off Perth, Australia.

Once in highschool we were camping on rottnest and covered these little guys (and ourselves) in non-toxic glow goop from glow sticks. Hilarious radioactive zombie quokkas bounding around the island that night...

[–]mynoduesp 1 point2 points ago

I've never heard of a quokkas before are they native to Australia?

[–]polly19 47 points48 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

A Quokka (I think). They're only found on Rottnest Island which is near Perth (Aus) and some other island I can't remember the name of.
Edit - And adorable.

It's a Quokka. This picture was taken by redditor aussie-fonzie and posted in /r/ITAP last week.

He also posted more photos in the discussion.

The depressing thing is that I am not a subscriber to ITAP and I didn't use Karma Decay to find that out.

Perhaps tomorrow's blackout will be a good thing.

Perhaps I'll survive cold-turkey.

Trivia about quokkas: When Dutch settlers first came to the small island off Perth, Western Australia, they were flummoxed by the large "rats" that were native to the island. Thus, they named the island Rattenest, Dutch for "rat's nest", which became Rottnest over time.

Rottnest has an interesting and dark history. I really must get over there one day. I've lived in Perth all my life and still havent taken the ferry over.

[–]RubberNinja 2 points3 points ago

In case you're wondering what this creature is called, it's a Quokka. They're only found off a remote island called Rottnest off the coast of Perth, Western Australia. Before moving to the US I lived in Perth, went to the island frequently with family. I believe the island was originally called Ratsnest, as the first settlers believed the Quokka to be giant rats. They're super friendly and love people, as being so isolated and protected they have no fear of us.
