This is a chuditch or western quoll. It is Charlie from Perth Zoo.
Perth Zoo rearranged and re-lit Charlie’s enclosure to make it easier to take good photos of him. Here are the three best snaps from a recent visit.
By the way: if you can see this, i’m almost on holiday for two weeks.

This is not a quoll but it is a marsupial. It is a tammar wallaby. Tammar wallabies are the model organism for marsupials due to being easy to breed and keep.

This is not a quoll but it is a marsupial. It is a young bilby that was out exploring in the bilby enclosure. It was very cute.
In Australia we have chocolate bilbies at Easter as well as chocolate bunnies, because bunnies have been not a good thing over here, ecologically speaking.

This is not a quoll but it is a dasyuromorph. It is a fat-tailed dunnart, a tiny mouse-like marsupial with huge eyes. This creature stores fat in its tail as an energy source, hence its name.
Like many dasyuromorphs, they are comparatively short-lived – their average lifespan is less than two years.
