Eastern Quoll

The eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus), also known as the eastern native cat, is a medium-sized carnivorous marsupial native to Australia It is considered to be extinct on mainland Australia, but it resides in Tasmania.


The Eastern Quoll hunts on the ground at night for mainly birds, small mammals, and lizards, though it also eats fruit, grasses, and occasionally carrion. Quolls occupy woody, shrubby habitats, as provided my mixed agriculture. Males are longer and heavier that females.
