When This Guy Tried To Walk Away From A Quokka, Preciousness Ensued

While most of us are familiar with the kangaroo, there’s another marsupial in the land Down Under that gives roos an adorable run for their money.

Known as one of the friendliest animals in the world, the inquisitive quokka doesn’t make a habit of making enemies. Quokkas are also known to get quite chummy with curious humans and aren’t above posing for a quokka selfie or two!

Quokkas are always ready to say cheese!

But while all quokkas are relatively friendly, this one is a cut above the rest!

Campbell Jones was out for an afternoon bike ride with his girlfriend when they came across an adorable quokka that instantly fell in love with the 21-year-old man. After stopping to get a quick picture with the tiny critter, Jones made an attempt to hop back on his bike and continue about his day. The quokka had other plans.

You’re going to lose it when you see this on the next page.

This overly friendly quokka greeted Jones with open arms and it was love at first sight.

But when Jones tried to ride away, the quokka chased after him in an attempt to win back his new best friend.

The reason why? Well, our adventurer has a theory…

When asked why the quokka was drawn to him, Jones was quick to joke, “My good looks I think.”
