These are not quolls but they are dasyurids. They are fat-tailed dunnarts because it wouldn’t be a zoo visit without dunnarts.
Sadly they are in spooky sepia because their enclosure only has red lighting.

This is not a quoll but it is a dasyurid. It is a fat-failed dunnart, a cute mouse-like predatory marsupial.
If you were a cricket, you’d be shitting yourself about now.

These are not quolls but they are dasyurids. This is a ball of fat-tailed dunnarts. Apparently they come in balls now.
Sorry about the radio silence. All this moving house, getting settled in.. you know how it is. I did squeeze in a quick zoo trip today but didn’t get very many photos: the main light in the chuditch enclosure was out and I can only take so many photographs of Looking Upwards At Northern Quoll On Branch before I don’t even bother, and on top of that I’m nursing an exercised-too-vigorously-after-not-exercising-for-months type injury in the legs. So it goes. There will be other days. 🙂

This is not a quoll but it is a dasyurid, It is a fat-tailed dunnart. Think of it as a de-spotted miniature quoll and not a mouse. Never a mouse.

This is not a quoll but it is a dasyuromorph. This is a fat-tailed dunnart.
Dunnarts, like leopard geckos, store fat in their tail and eat insects. Unlike leopard geckos, dunnarts are small furry carnivorous marsupials. In case that wasn’t obvious.
On my quolliday, two of the dunnarts (they’re all males) were engaged in a dominance-submission sort of thing, but the other one decided to show me a trick.
