The Quokka, a cat-sized marsupial, carries its babies in a pouch — one of the reasons it’s often called the cutest animal in the world! But cuteness is in the eye of the beholder. In 1616, a Dutch explorer named the Australian island where quokkas live “Rottnest” — or “Rat’s Nest” — because he thought the cuddly critters looked like overgrown rodents!
