Northern Quoll

Often referred to as a native cat, Northern Quolls (Dasyurus hallucatus) are in fact aggressive, carnivorous marsupials, found only in the northern parts of Australia. Males live for about a year and once they have mated will quickly die. The females can live for up to 3 years and care for up to 8 young alone. Since the arrival of the highly toxic feral Cane Toad in Australia, Northern Quolls have disappeared from many parts of their natural range.
