Shocking video footage has emerged of a man kicking a quokka on Rottnest Island.
The video, obtained by WAtoday, shows a man in a grey t-shirt and black jeans chasing the quokka around a tree and kicking it at least twice.
The man can be heard saying 'come here you little c***' before kicking it a second time. The kick sends the small animal into a wall.
It tries to run away from the man before the video ends after nine seconds.
Another man can be heard laughing in the background as the incident is being filmed.
It is not exactly clear when the footage was filmed. But there was a music festival on the island on Sunday.
The Castaway music festival was sold out and ran between 12-6pm.
WAtoday is in the process of sending the video to the RSPCA and WA Police.
Unfortunately, this is not the first incident to occur on the island.
In 2015, two French tourists who burnt a Rottnest quokka chose to stay in jail rather than pay a $4000 fine – costing Australian taxpayers thousands of dollars.
That incident was also filmed.
The same year a teenager who kicked a Rottnest Island quokka two metres into the air avoided jail and walked away from Fremantle Magistrates Court with a $2500 fine.
And last year another man was also filmed giving vodka to a quokka. Authorities said it could have killed the animal.
