	DPIW - Spotted-tail Quoll
		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).
		The eyes and ears of the spotted-tailed quoll are comparatively smaller than those of the eastern quoll.
		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.

	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.

	Otway Ranges Environment Network - Draft revised Tiger Quoll Action Statement (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		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).

	Trowunna/Quolls
		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.
		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).
		As in spotted-tail quolls, the death rate of juveniles is low while they are in the care of their mother.

		As the spotted-tailed quoll is a forest-dependent species and the eastern quoll occupies forest habitats, both species have been identified as high priority under the endangered species component of the CRA in Tasmania (PLUC 1996).
		Northern quolls, Dasyurus hallucatus, the smallest of the Australian quolls (average weight; males 650 g, females 400 g; Braithwaite and Begg 1995), were distributed in the wet-dry tropics right across northern Australia and down the east coast to south-eastern Queensland.
		Quolls are attracted to roads to scavenge on roadkills, often becoming one in the process.

	Australian Threatened Species: Tiger Quoll, Spotted-tailed Quoll or Spot-tailed Quoll Fact Sheet
		The Tiger Quoll, Spot-tailed Quoll or Spotted-tailed Quoll, is the largest marsupial carnivore surviving on mainland Australia.
		Tiger Quolls are more than 50% larger than other quolls and, unlike other quoll species, have white spots that extend along their tail.
		Quolls share communal latrine (toilet) sites which are located in open spaces and may have up to 100 droppings piled up.

	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).

	Dasyurus maculatus maculatus (Spot-tailed Quoll, Spotted-tailed Quoll, Tiger Quoll) listing advice
		Where previously the Tiger Quoll was considered common in a wide range of habitats including rainforest, open forest, woodland, coastal heathland and inland riparian forests extending from the coast to the snowline throughout southeastern Australia it is now generally regarded as rare to uncommon in most of these habitats.
		The Tiger Quoll was last collected in SA in 1958 near Barmera and is considered by the relevant government authorities to be locally extinct.
		The threats to the southeastern mainland Tiger Quoll population continue to operate at varied intensities throughout its range and both the historic and future impact of the identified threats is difficult to quantify.

		Male eastern quolls are about the size of a small domestic cat, averaging 60 cm in length and 1.3 kg in weight; females are slightly smaller.
		The eastern quoll (or native cat, as it is sometimes called) has two color phases -- ginger-brown or fl, both with white spots on the body, but not the tail.
		Eastern quolls once occured on mainland Australia, with the last sighting occuring in the Sydney suburb of Vaucluse in the early 1960s.

	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.

	Spotting Spotted Quoll
		The State’s population of this feisty, cat sized, marsupial carnivore, has been in decline for sometime due in part to the clearing of its forest and woodland habitats as well as competition from the fox and cat.
		“The Quoll is a nocturnal animal and so few people are ever lucky enough to see them in the wild but in certain parts of the State they are encountered more often particularly during winter when the males are know to travel long distances in search of mates,” Ms Price said.
		“The Spotted-tailed Quoll is quite a distinctive animal, russet or rust coloured with large white spots across the body and tail.

		The species is recorded in a wide range of habitats including rainforest, woodland, and heathland although loss of habitat due to land clearing for agriculture and forestry are resulting in its decline as are poisoning, trapping, foxes and feral cats.

	Pictures of the eastern quoll\|Dasyurus viverrinus facts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Sometimes called a native cat, eastern quolls are similar in size, but with large dark eyes, a bright red wet nose and fawn or fl coat spattered with white spots.
		Eastern Quolls are opportunistic carnivores, feeding mostly on insects and agricultural pests such as corbie grubs comprising a large portion of diet.
		As eastern quolls are more easily trapped in wire cage traps than spotted-tailed quolls, and will become trapped in small mammal traps which are a tube of similar dimensions to the hair tubes used in this survey, this is unlikely to reflect an aversion to hair tubes but probably realistically reflects abundance at the sites.
