This is not a quoll though it is a marsupial. It is a quenda or southern brown bandicoot.
This one lives at Caversham Wildlife Park though it doesn’t appear to be kept in an enclosure. I’ve seen and photographed quendas running through the park before but never got this close.
This is a tiger quoll or spotted-tailed quoll getting ready to leap off a branch. Quolls are all adept climbers and perfectly at home in trees.
This is not a quoll. It is a euro or common wallaroo or whatever.
The sign at Caversham Wildlife Park said “tammar wallaby” but the orangutan hair on this fellow is a dead giveaway.
This is a chuditch or western quoll. This chuditch lived at Caversham Wildlife Park but passed away of old age not so long ago.
Since every picture of a chuditch i’ve posted since this photoblog began has been in black and white, i thought it was time i screencapped this video from 28 February 2011 to remind everyone that this is how they’re coloured in normal daylight as opposed to the heat lamps of Perth Zoo’s nocturnal house.
This is a northern quoll. At Perth Zoo, this is the Quoll With No Name. He’s a male, about 18 months old.
The keeper told me that quolls can live for up to four and a half years in captivity. Then we picked out all the mistakes on the northern quoll’s information panel. There were a few of them:
They’ve since fixed the information panel, except the smelly and aggressive bit.
