Kangaroos do the same. To be fair, evolutionarily it makes sense. (They only do it when they have literally no escape, and the choice is either both of them dying or the kid dying, soo…)
I bet in pre-history it happened more often than not in humans, and within recorded history has likely happened more times than anyone would admit.
Oh absolutely. We used to not give kids names until they were 3 years or so old. To not get attached.
You do not have to outrun an angry bear to survive a bear attack.
You only have to outrun your least agile camping buddy.
It’s pragmatic; the mother can make more babies if she gets away. She doesn’t have to gloat so hard about it, though.
This motherquokka…
If you are alive, you can make more babies. /s
Damn, nature is really cruel.
Meanwhile there are animals that so rarely can find a mate that when they do they mate with the first mate they can find and then just fucking die.
Why did you have to call me out like that? /s
I don’t get what the fuss is about, I would do it too. And you can always make more later. /s
you can always make more later
It’s true, I just threw the equivalent population of a small country in the bin. Can’t say I’m not pleased with myself rn. 😌
That’s one John Oliver looking motherquokka
Improvise, adapt, overcome
Reminds me of a science fiction story.
Intelligent reptiles give birth to hundreds of eggs at a time. They eat most of the young live. The Queen of the planet offers the visiting Terrans a big bowlful of wriggling babies at a banquet.
She gets an extra d12 damage with improvised weapons what do you expect
Quokkas are so adorably happy looking! 😃 I’ve never heard of anyone disliking them.

What’s the /s mean?

Oh ok. Then why is it there?
To mark an unserious comment
Odd, how is it unserious?
I’m sorry, do you have something you want to say? I’m trying to be friendly but I see you may have something else in mind
This just happened to me today. A chipmunk was startled by me as I opened a door, and bolted… Her tiny week old baby was left sprawling near my feet.
I used a hand warmer and some microfiber cloths to keep it warm, then thankfully the mother came back for it… But like… Wtf, Mom?
The baby can’t survive without its mom. But the mom can make new babies.
