This is not a quoll but it is a marsupial. It is a young woylie or brush-tailed bettong, a critically endangered potoroid now found in isolated pockets of Western Australia. Caversham Wildlife Park has a couple of woylies in their south-west section and this youngster was on display in their big dome during one of their “Meet the Animals” shows. The host rightly made a point of telling us we were very lucky to be able to see a woylie up close let alone at all because of how rare they’ve become.

I do harp on about quolls a lot but none of them are critically endangered like these guys are.
