	Otway Ranges Environment Network - Draft revised Tiger Quoll Action Statement
		The Spot-tailed Quoll is generally a species of forested habitats, particularly wet sclerophyll forest, but also occurs in lowland forest, dry foothill forest, rainforest, River Red Gum forest, sub-alpine woodland and dry ‘rainshadow’ forest such as in the Snowy River valley in East Gippsland (Mansergh and Belcher 1992; Edgar and Belcher 1995; Belcher 2000b).
		The higher tolerance of Spot-tailed Quolls to 1080 is offset by the smaller body size than dogs and foxes (McIlroy 1981), and a dose of 3-4.5 mg ingested from a single bait is potentially lethal to juvenile, many female and some male Quolls (Murray 1998; Belcher 2000b).
		Clear-fell timber harvesting is thought to be a threat to quolls as it removes some of the structural complexity that the species requires, including the removal of hollow-bearing trees, fallen logs and the reduction of canopy cover and structural complexity of the vegetation (Belcher 2000b).

		Quolls have a pink nose and ears, a thick snout, a pointed muzzle and very sharp teeth.
		The eastern quoll differs from other species in this genus in that it lacks a first toe on the hind foot and the pads of the feet are granulated, rather than striated as in the other species.
		Eastern quolls are nocturnal and predatory, feeding mainly on insects.

	Quolls of Australia - Threatened species and communities
		Quolls were often seen by early settlers, who called them "native cat", "native polecat" and "spotted marten", names based on familiar European animals.
		Quolls are carnivorous marsupials with a pointed snout, a long tail and brown to fl fur distinctively spotted with white.
		In April 2003, some northern quolls were transferred to several islands off the Arnhem Land coast in the Northern Territory, to establish secure populations as a precautionary measure while the impacts of cane toads on quoll populations are further studied.

	What is a Quoll?
		The quoll is a marsupial native to Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania.
		The quoll is sometimes named the “jungle cat,” though it really more resembles a possum or coati, than it does a member of the cat family.
		The quoll is carnivorous, dining primarily on mice, lizards and snakes.

	Queensland’s quolls - EPA/QPWS
		The spotted-tailed quoll ranges in colour from rich red-brown to dark brown with white spots of varying size scattered over both the body and tail (the spotted-tailed quoll is the only quoll with spots running along the length of its tail).
		One argument is that the quoll as a predator is simply behaving naturally and is responding to the presence of a prey animal that cannot escape.
		The northern quoll is the smallest of the quolls and varies from grey-brown to brown in colour with large white patches on its body (no white patches on its tail).

		The spotted-tailed quoll (or tiger cat as it was once innapropriately known) is the second largest of the world's surviving carnivorous marsupials.
		Spotted-tailed quolls vary from reddish brown to dark chocolate brown with white spots on the body and tail (unlike eastern quolls which do not have spots on the tail).
		Spotted-tailed quolls are most common in cool temperate rainforest, wet sclerophyll forest and coastal scrub along the north and west coasts of the state.

	Otway Ranges Environment Network - Spot Tailed Tiger Quoll
		The spot-tailed quoll, or tiger quoll, is the largest surviving marsupial carnivore on the mainland of Australia.
		Quolls are total carnivores that feed on medium-sized animals including possums, gliders, birds and rabbits.
		When the Quoll was first listed for protection under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (nomination 146), logging practices that cause habitat fragmentation were cited as a major threat.

	Spotted-tailed quoll community survey
		The spotted-tailed quoll is mainly nocturnal and terrestrial, although it is also an agile climber.
		In many cases, quolls are living in isolated areas that may be too small to support viable long-term populations.
		Quolls are also sometimes seen around buildings and garbage bins/dumps near areas of suitable habitat.

		The spotted-tailed quoll (Dasyurus maculatus - or tiger cat as it was once inappropriately known) is the second largest of the world's surviving carnivorous marsupials.
		Male eastern quolls (Dasyurus viverrinus) are about the size of a small domestic cat averaging 60 cm in length and 1.3 kg in weight; females are slightly smaller.
		As in spotted-tail quolls, the death rate of juveniles is low while they are in the care of their mother.

	Spotted Tailed Quoll
		The Tiger Quoll is roughly the same size as a domestic cat, and is the largest carnivorous marsupial on the Australian Mainland.
		The Tiger Quoll is found in pockets along the Great Divide, notably the New England region, the Blue Mountains, Barren Grounds, the South Coast forests and adjacent plains.
		In winter, sightings of Quoll become more common due to the high incidence of males increasing their ranges to search for a mate, and also due to juvenile males being 'evicted' from the parent colony.

	A natural born killer, but life under guard could be quoll's defence - National
		These conservationists are renewing their calls for vulnerable wildlife such as the quoll to be allowed as pets, in the hope captive populations will keep the species from extinction.
		His view is backed by the "queen of quolls", Mary Oakwood, who said a Northern Territory Government project to establish quoll colonies on two cane toad-free islands was not enough.
		Breeding quolls in captivity - something that could be done only by people with special skills - would establish alternative populations that could one day be returned to the bush.

	Spotted-tailed Quoll survey
		Backed with Foundation funds, volunteers and Sydney University scientists trace quolls in their natural habitat to research the species’; ecology and to investigate the reasons for the decline of the species.
		Quolls, foxes and feral cats in the area are also being monitored by radio-tracking to see whether quolls are excluded from areas of preferred habitat by their introduced rivals.
		A basic understanding of the quoll’s ecology, and of the processes, which have led to its decline, is essential to its conservation, and Al’s survey is a first vital step in the right direction.

		The diet of eastern quolls is largely insects, however small mammals, birds and reptiles will be taken when they are encountered.
		The eastern quoll developed a reputation for raiding chicken coops, and for that reason was persecuted by farmers.

	Endangered Species - Spot-Tailed Quolls (Tiger Quolls)
		The Spot-tailed Quoll, or Tiger Quoll, is Australia's largest carnivorous marsupial, growing up to a metre long and with some males as heavy as 7kg.
		Due to the lack of surveying, the quolls status in heavily forested country is unknown, although it is safe to say they only exist in a few isolated and patchy remnants of habitat in the wet forests of Victoria and NSW.
		One of the recommendations for the quolls survival is that off-park habitat protection in State Forest is ensured.

	The Tiger Quoll
		The spotted tailed quoll (or Tiger Quoll) is the second largest carnivorous marsupial in the world, the Tassie Devil being the largest.
		This quoll can be found in eastern parts of mainland Australia and also in Tasmania; it is considered vulnerable in mainland Australia and rare in Tasmania.
		In northern quoll populations (northern spotted-tailed quoll) numbers have declined due to the quolls eating cane toads and the resultant poisoning that occurs.
