What is Quoll?
The Quolls also know by some other name like native cats genus Dasyurus. The Quolls are carnivorous marsupials, native to Australia and Papua New Guinea. Quolls live both in ground and in open valley land. Though chiefly ground-dwelling, they have developed secondary arboreal characteristics. They do not have intelligent tails, but do have ridges on the pads of their feet. Their molars and canines are strongly developed.
Quolls are vulnerable by toxic cane toads, but a University of Sydney project expose in 2010 is teaching them to avoid eating the invasive amphibians.
