These are not quolls but they are dasyurids. This is a ball of fat-tailed dunnarts. Apparently they come in balls now.

Sorry about the radio silence. All this moving house, getting settled in.. you know how it is. I did squeeze in a quick zoo trip today but didn’t get very many photos: the main light in the chuditch enclosure was out and I can only take so many photographs of Looking Upwards At Northern Quoll On Branch before I don’t even bother, and on top of that I’m nursing an exercised-too-vigorously-after-not-exercising-for-months type injury in the legs. So it goes. There will be other days. 🙂
