This is a chuditch or western quoll. His name, as you’re probably all very much aware, is Charlie.

That’s about all the pictures i’ll be posting for now. Given it’s not the first time i’ve said that, i suspect you haven’t seen the last of me yet. Life is intervening. It happens.

I’d love to be back posting more images later in the year and if all goes according to plan, that’s when i’ll pop up again.

Thanks again to all of you for your interest in Australian animals. If you’re looking to actually contribute to the welfare of Australian native animals, check out Bush Heritage Australia and Nature Conservancy in Australia.

Brian Chambers has a fantastic blog about wildlife research in the Perth area which contains colour pictures of chuditches and all. When it comes down to it, i’m just a bloke who goes to zoos – Brian is the real deal.

If you’re in the Perth area, stop in at Perth Zoo, Caversham Wildlife Park, Armadale Reptile Park and Peel Zoo to meet some of the subjects of these photographs.

My only regret is not getting a decent photograph of an eastern quoll. Oh well. Maybe in the spring…
