This is not just one quoll – this was my quolliday where i Saw All The Quolls*.

I might be wrong about this but for the time being, Perth is the only city you can go to see all four species of Australian quoll on display. (There’s two more kinds of quoll in New Guinea.) On the last day of my midyear holidays (13 August 2012), i decided to do just that – and try to get photographs of all four species to boot. Although they’re an hour and a bit’s drive apart, Peel Zoo has the two out-of-state species (spotted-tailed and eastern) and Perth Zoo has the two species of quolls found in Western Australia (the chuditch from the south-west and the northern quoll from the Kimberley). I photographed three out of the four species but i did sight all four of them. If not for autofocus having trouble finding its way through the bars of the eastern quoll’s enclosure, it would have been four for four. It disappointed me on the day but it’s a good reason to try to do it again. 🙂

Along for the quolliday ride will be all the other dasyurids i took snaps of plus a couple of guests.

But mainly quolls. Everything needs more quolls.
