Quolls (/ ˈkwɒlz /; genus Dasyurus) are carnivorous marsupials native to Australia and New Guinea. They are primarily nocturnal, and spend most of the day in a den. Of the six species of quoll, four are found in Australia and two in New Guinea. Another two species are known from fossil remains in Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits in Queensland.

Sep 20, 2022 · Now dens are being built around the edges of hillsides at Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s (AWC) Brooklyn Wildlife Sanctuary, north of the Atherton Tablelands, to help increase quoll numbers and reconnect populations.

Jun 1, 2023 · One such species of conservation significance is the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus), which is impacted by the destruction of rugged and rocky denning habitat during mining (Moore et al., 2022).

Sep 15, 2022 · The dens are being built just beyond known quoll habitat. If they are successful in drawing quolls back out into flat savannah land, they may be a useful tool to reconnect isolated populations of quolls and improve the endangered species’ genetic health.

The western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii) is Western Australia's largest endemic mammalian carnivore. [4] One of the many marsupial mammals native to Australia, it is also known as the chuditch. The species is currently classed as near-threatened.

As a top-order predator and the largest carnivorous marsupial on mainland Australia, the Spotted-tailed Quoll plays an important ecosystem role. AWC’s Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary in NSW is home to a host of forest-dwelling species and primary vegetation communities of wet and dry sclerophyll forests, providing the perfect habitat for the ...

Jun 1, 2023 · Here, we examined the microclimatic, physical, and biotic characteristics of natural dens occupied by the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus)—an endangered marsupial threatened by habitat loss...

May 16, 2022 · The endangered northern quoll’s survival prospects have received a boost, with a new project in areas of Far North Queensland where they have survived the invasion of cane toads. Five organisations will work together on activities including artificial dens for quolls, genetic research and controlled burn programs.

Mar 31, 2020 · Here, we examined the microclimatic, physical, and biotic characteristics of natural dens occupied by the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus)—an endangered marsupial threatened by habitat loss...

Quoll den sites ? Spotted-tailed Quolls den in hollow logs on the ground, in rocky outcrops, small caves, rock crevices, underground borrows (usually under logs, rocks or dense vegetation or those used by rabbits or Wombats) and/or in hollows in trees or tree roots. They often utilise a number of different dens (up to 20)
