The Adorable Quoll

Tweet

What is a quoll? It is a marsupial. These are Australian mammals that spend their first nine weeks of like in their mother’s pouch. They make their home in Australia and New Guinea. They are carnivores and their diet includes birds, possums, and rabbits. Smaller quolls dine on insects, birds’ eggs, and little animals. Quolls are known for their long snouts, pink noses, hairy tails, big ears, sharp teeth, and long bodies, and brown or black coats with white spots. They stand out from other animals by their large abdominal pouches where they carry their offspring. These folds develop during the breeding season. They are solitary creatures and like to hunt, forage, and live on their own. Rocky outcroppings become their gathering places. Females share dens with others, but males rarely share dens with each other.
