Hahaha! It was named by dutch sailors in the 1600s, after landing ion the island and finding these "rats" which are actually little marsupials call Quokkas, and are native to the island. They're about the size of a domestic cat (maybe slightlty bigger) and are pretty cool little creatures, but can give you a nasty nip if you get on their bad side.
