The reason quokkas have no natural predators… they’re secretly terrifying 😳😳😳
Huge thanks to @celebratewa_ , @westcoasteagles and @optusstadium for having Rex back at the truly iconic WA Icons Mascot Race 2026 🏃♂️💨
Do we think Wilbur the Wildcat would have won without the scare from Rex? Probably not 😌
Congratulations to @perthwildcats on the win! 🏆
Rex is back in training until next year, but one day he’ll claim that top spot 🐻👑

Because this is how winning is done 🏆 Rex the Quokka has been training hard for this year’s @celebratewa_ WA Icons Mascot Race at the @optusstadium 🏃♂️🏁
After last year’s loss Rex had to recover physically (& emotionally) with a well earnt R&R session on Rottnest Island. This year Rex is back to knock Wilbur the Wildcat off the top spot and take home the trophy for himself! We think he’s ready, what do you reckon? 😌
Thank you @celebratewa_ and @westcoasteagles for having him back, he won’t let you down 🙅♀️🏃♂️🐻
