This is not a quoll but it is an Australian predator. It is a southern boobook owl, or just “boobook” for short.
Boobooks have a distinctive falling two-toned call. Like all hawk-owls, they often look annoyed or hung over.

This is not a quoll though it seems to eat roughly the same stuff. It is a boobook owl, a small brown owl related to the barking owl. I once saw a boobook owl in the central business district of Perth city, and more than once i’ve heard their distinctive two-tone call from my house out in the suburbs.
Unlike the tawny frogmouth, the boobook is a true owl.

This is not a quoll. This is a boobook doing its best to look snooty.
Very occasionally i’ll hear the unmistakeable call of a boobook from my house in the Perth suburbs, and i may have even seen one in Perth’s central business district late one night. It was definitely a little brown owl thingy.

This is not a quoll. This is a boobook owl, known by many other names like morepork, mopoke and ruru. I hear these owls sometimes around my house. They have an unmistakeable two-note call.
This boobook looks like it’s getting ready to punch me out. I guess i did wake him/her up.
