Proceedings of the WWF-Australia Quoll Workshop
Quolls are mainland Australia's largest surviving marsupial carnivore. When Captain Cook recorded 'quolls' as their Aboriginal name in 1770, it is thought that most of Australia was inhabited by at least one quoll species. However, since then quolls have declined in the wild.
There are four species of quoll found in Australia; the northern quoll, the eastern quoll, the western quoll, and the spotted- tailed quoll. In New Guinea there are two species of quoll; the New Guinea quoll and the bronze quoll. All quoll species are listed on the IUCN Red List.
