Overview
Quolls are small, spotted marsupials that bring a splash of energy to the forests of Oceania. These adorable critters range in size from 1.8 to 3.3 feet long, making them a delightful sight in their natural habitat.
Quolls belong to the family Dasyuridae and share their kingdom Animalia with many fascinating creatures. They possess a keen sense of smell that helps them hunt their favorite snacks, including insects, small mammals, and birds.
These little hunters have a unique coat with white spots that make them look like a walking starry night. Quolls are nocturnal, which means they love to party under the moonlight while searching for food and having fun.
With a lifespan of 3 to 5 years, quolls lead lively lives filled with adventures. They are very active and enjoy climbing, making their playtime a real treat to observe.
Quolls may look cuddly, but they are skilled predators. Their sharp claws and strong teeth help them catch slippery meals, ensuring they stay happy and healthy while exploring the depths of the night.
