quoll
dasyurus latin

The quoll will eat your mice and you can put it out at night.

The northern quoll is now absent from many parts of its former range.

The northern quoll is still found in the region.

The other species of quoll have also been known to eat carrion.

The quoll was probably never very numerous in South Australia.

Much of the prey eaten by the quoll are arboreal.

Known only from a lower jaw and some teeth, it was a relative of the tiger quoll.

It is the only quoll species with spots on its tail in addition to its body.

The biggest threat to the quoll is habitat destruction.

He had also destroyed what was termed as a 'native cat' (quoll).

On land again, we meet the quoll, whose babies survive by holding tight to their mother's teats.

This is inconclusive evidence; the pelt seems to have resembled a quoll's.

The tiger quoll is the largest of the quolls.

The tiger quoll is found in eastern Australia where there are more than 600 mm of rainfall per year.

The quoll marks its territory several kilometres away from its den.

Fox control programs have benefited the western quoll.

This quoll species is most abundant in rocky ranges and open eucalypt forest.

It is one of six extant species of quoll.

The quoll will pin small prey down with forepaws and then deliver the bite.

The mutation of devil facial tumour disease may mean that it could spread to other related species, like the quoll.

The quoll reaches maturity when it is one year old, and has a natural lifespan of between two and five years.

European settlement has severely decimated and fragmented the quoll's mainland distribution.

Ms. Nedzvetskaya's Quoll chain grew from an underground business she started in 1988.

The eastern quoll is a member of the family Dasyuridae, which includes most carnivorous marsupials.

The eastern quoll is a solitary predator, hunting at night for its prey of insects and small mammals.

It was a carnivore, probably eating small vertebrates and insects, as living Dasyurus species do today.

Within the genus Dasyurus, the following species exist:

The genus name, Dasyuroides, indicates that it resembles Dasyurus, the quolls.

The name dasyurus means "hairy tail."

Tiger Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus)

Wagner's Gerbil (Dipodillus dasyurus)

The name Dasyurus means "hairy-tail", and was coined by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1796.

Precipitous declines in populations of the Northern Quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) have been observed after toads have invaded an area.

Quoll (genus Dasyurus) are meat-eating marsupials native to Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Eastern Quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus, Tasmania (formerly mainland eastern Australia)

The Tiger Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus) is a carnivorous marsupial of the order of Dasyuromorphia.

The introduced Cane Toad is currently implicated in the local disappearance of the Northern Quoll (Dasyurus Hallucatus).

Péron wrote (in translation) 'In the class of mammiferous animals, I only saw one kind of Dasyurus, which was scarcely as large as a mouse.

Spotted-tailed Quoll, Yarri, Dasyurus maculatus gracilis (North Queensland subspecies)

Its species name, geoffroii, refers to the prominent French naturalist Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, who named the genus Dasyurus in 1796.

The quoll (ˈkwɒl) (genus Dasyurus) is a carnivorous marsupial native to mainland Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania.

Spot-tailed Quoll, Spotted-tail Quoll, Tiger Quoll, Dasyurus maculatus maculatus (southeastern mainland population)

The Chuditch (Dasyurus geoffroi) or Western Quoll, is one of four quoll species in Australia and is the largest marsupial predator in Western Australia.

The swamp antechinus was first described in 1803 (the first of all the antechinuses) by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, who placed it in the genus Dasyurus (quolls), hence its species name minimus, which means "smallest".

Recognition that the Australian marsupials were fundamentally different from the known mammal genera led to the establishment of the modern classification scheme, and in 1796, Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire created the genus Dasyurus where he placed the thylacine in 1810.

A rare, and possibly the last, Chuditch or Western Quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii ), an endangered carnivorous marsupial not seen in the Perth area for nearly twenty years, was caught by a rabbit trap in Wandi in March 2009.
