The eastern quoll is a medium-sized carnivorous dasyurid marsupial native to Australia. They once used to be common throughout Australia, but were declared extinct on the mainland in 1963 due to introduced feral predators and now only exist in Tasmania. Aussie Ark has identified the Eastern quoll as a key species as it plays an important role, scavenging on carrion on the forest floor and assist in maintaining balance within their ecosystem, as a natural predator.
