Islam Makhachev has been forced to delete a showing his pals feeding quokkas during some downtime ahead of his upcoming world title fight in Australia.
UFC lightweight champion Makhachev is in Perth where he will fight pound-for-pound No.1 and featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski in a massive world title clash. And the Russian was spending time taking in the sights when he and teammates visited Rottnes where they posed for photos and cycled around, as well as meeting the quokkas.
As a vulnerable species, it is illegal to feed the rare animals, although many celebrities visiting the area have posed for pictures with them over the years. Any food they haven’t foraged for themselves can harm their bodies, meaning that the only viable nutrition is the food on the island that they collect themselves, and not what humans can provide.
