Northern Quoll


Northern Quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) is a nocturnal animal.

Quoting the information plaque: “This small carnivorous marsupial does not have a permanent pouch. Just before breeding the female will form a small flap os skin on her belly in which to raise her young.

"The males die after their first breeding season.
The Northern Quoll is the most successful of the four species of quoll – possibly due to their extreme pungent odour that deters predators.”
