Dasyurus viverrinus, the eastern quoll is a medium-sized carnivorous marsupial that was once found across much of south-eastern Australia but has been extinct on the mainland since the 1960’s and is only found in Tasmania, where it lives in a wide range of habitats. They are solitary, reclusive, nocturnal creatures that hunt at night for insects and small vertebrates and spend the day resting in dens in underground burrows, fallen logs or piles of rocks. Live in territories and ward off intruders by hissing, coughing, shrieking and becoming aggressive.
