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’s near as dammit. It’s a Tasmanian devil, currently the largest marsupial predator in existence.

In Devil news:

There have recently been calls to bring Tasmanian devils back to the mainland in order to help with the feral cat problem.
Also some complete dipshit threw a rock at a Tasmanian devil in Albuquerque and killed it. What the hell is wrong with people.

This is a chuditch or western quoll. Not a great photo, but at least it contains a funny face. Also colour.

This is a chuditch or western quoll gone all arty.

There’s unfortunate lighting and composition but it’s a keen shot of an ear and that counts for something. As an abstract arty shot, I like it.

This is a chuditch or western quoll having a good gnaw to rid himself of an itch.
