Thank you. But what the hell is a quoll? It looks like a something out of Dead Alive.

A nocturnal carnivorous marsupial native to Australia and New Guinea, 300 g (11 oz) to 7 kg (15 lb) depending on species -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoll

That's a new word to me too.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The original quoll escaped the cage Mr Tsai put it in but another one — or most likely the same one — was caught in another trap set by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) on Wednesday.

Following his incredible discovery, Mr Tsai has laid pieces of fish around his farm and set up a video camera overnight on Wednesday to see if he could get footage of other quolls.

Limestone Coast district ranger Ross Anderson said NPWS was "blown away" by the animal's re-emergence in the state after 130 years.

"Part of the reason they're thought to have become extinct here in the South East is due to a loss of habitat, but they can survive anywhere from forests to more open country," he said.

We wouldn't recommend people try to trap them or interact with them themselves, however – but trail cameras are a really good way of recording and monitoring any suspected quoll populations or activity in the local area."

They are mainland Australia's largest marsupial predator; a stealthy, elusive nocturnal hunter and scavenger that preys on small kangaroos and wallabies to possums, birds, reptiles, frogs and invertebrates.

How magical!!! Love that the farmer went out of his way to figure out what it was. Such an amazing recording... wonder how they how got there? Growing fat on his chooks though.
