This little creature seemed keen to be photographed - even for a quokka.
这个小家伙看起来很爱拍照喔--即使它是一只短尾矮袋鼠。
Campbell Jones, from Landsdale, WA, caught one of the famously photogenic marsupials leaping towards his camera with a big smile on its face.
来自西澳洲兰兹代尔地区的坎贝尔·琼斯抓拍了向来以爱拍照有名的短尾矮袋鼠的一张可爱近照,它嘴角绽开着灿烂的笑容,向他的相机跳跃过来。
He told Perth Now the quokka chased after him as he was biking on Rottnest Island, and that it jumped at his GoPro camera after he put down the device.
琼斯在接受《珀斯在线》采访时表示,当他在罗特内斯特岛骑行时,这只短尾矮袋鼠一直跟着他。待他停好车后,这个小家伙一下跳到了他的运动相机的镜头前。
Asked on his Instagram page what he reckons made the animal come up to him, Mr Jones teasingly wrote: 'My good looks I think.'
当有人在他的Instagram主页问起,他觉得为何这只短尾矮袋鼠会跟着他时,琼斯幽默地说:“也许是因为我长得太好看吧。”
He posted the picture four weeks ago, but it started getting more attention online after it was featured on the quokka appreciation page Instaquokka last Sunday.
他四周前就将这些照片上传到网上了,不过直到上周日,照片被特别分享到短尾矮袋鼠爱好者账户Instaquokka后,才引起了更多人的关注。
'Okay this is the cutest image I have ever seen,' one commentator wrote.
有网友评论说:“这是我见过的最可爱的照片。”
Another declared that the photo 'makes the world a better place.'
也有网友称,正是这样的照片才让世界更美好。
