About This Quiz

If you were a marsupial, which one would you be? Maybe you are calm like a koala or lively like a kangaroo. Or, perhaps you're clever and sly like a Tasmanian devil. There's also a chance that you're friendly, happy and fearless — just like the adorable quokka. The best way to know for sure is to take this fun personality quiz.

Besides, knowing which marsupial matches your personality is certainly worth it. Marsupials, after all, are truly unique mammals! For starters, marsupial babies are born extremely young compared to other mammals. The baby is essentially born as an embryo. It leaves the birth canal and climbs to the mother's pouch, where it latches on to a nipple and eats until it's old enough to let go. Pretty cool, right?

By the way, that pouch is also called a marsupium. This is why these mammals are called "marsupials," and they're the only mammals to have a "built-in" way of carrying a baby on their body. Marsupials are often referred to as pouched mammals, which makes total sense.

So, which marsupial are you? Take this koala-ty quiz so you can determine which one suits your character. Let's get this quiz started!
