This is not a quoll. It is a dingo, the largest species of predator in Australia not counting human beings.

People insist that Australia’s nature makes it a horribly dangerous place but it’s easy to forget that our largest natural predator is dog-sized, not bear-sized or cougar-sized or lion-sized or tiger-sized. Sure we have a lot of incredibly poisonous snakes and a couple of really nasty spiders and even the odd drop bear, but at least i can go bushwalking without the fear of being eaten.

Though i suppose being kicked to death by a feisty male kangaroo in the middle of nowhere is no good either.
