Quokka Gift

PLEASE NOTE - I WILL NOT HAVE WIFI UNTIL MARCH 3 AND CANNOT POST PICTURES OR RESPOND. TNX

 

Parting gift to my dear quokka friend. They cannot reach eucalyptus leaves as the lower branches of tree are above their heads, so I picked a leaf and offered it to this grateful little quokka. How gentle are they? Well the first panel had the quokka grab the leaf in the middle, he sensed his teeth were too close to my fingers, so he opened his mouth again (panel 2) to show his teeth position and moved his head back until he felt the end of the leaf . He closed his mouth (panel 3) once he felt he was far enough away then in 4th panel indicated he was ready for me to let go of the leaf.. Last panel a very contented quokka with the famous quokka smile.
