This is a chuditch or western quoll, Charlie from Perth Zoo. Here, Charlie is checking his heat lamp. I don’t know why. Chuditches are very mysterious.

This is a chuditch or western quoll, Charlie from Perth Zoo nocturnal house to be exact. This is Charlie the Chuditch week on this photoblog – from 10-16 June, a new picture of Charlie every day. This is a picture of Charlie being very excited about his own special week. Go and visit him at Perth Zoo and do visit the northern quoll and other dasyuromorphs while you’re at it.

This is a quoll. This is Charlie the chuditch eating the hell out of a chicken. Like many marsupials (including kangaroos), the front paws of the quoll are flexible enough to grasp and hold their food as they eat it.

This is a quoll. This is Charlie the chuditch demonstrating the legendary dasyurid gape with a good yawn. I make that at least 90 degrees.
