These are not quolls. These are nankeen night herons. Because apparently Tumblr likes nankeen night herons.

These are not quolls. These are nankeen night herons living wild at Perth Zoo.

I walked out of the Nocturnal House during this visit and a striking young bird the likes of which I’ve never seen before is strutting about boldly. The adult form is much more sensible except for that long white thingy coming out of the back of their head. No idea what that’s all about. Radio antenna, maybe.
