Eastern Quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus

The eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus), also known as the eastern native cat, is a medium-sized carnivorous dasyurid marsupial native to Australia. They are now considered extinct on the mainland, but remain widespread and even locally common in Tasmania. It is one of six extant species of quoll. The eastern quoll is generally about the size of a small domestic cat with a thick coat is covered by white spots, and ranges in color from a light fawn to a near black, with an off-white belly. The main threats to the eastern quoll are competition and predation from feral cats and illegal poisoning and trapping. The lack of foxes and dingoes in Tasmania is believed to have contributed to the survival of the species.
