😂 Spotted a spotted-tailed quoll lately?

Apparently this one was spotted conducting some highly sophisticated field research:

“Is that coffee? What brand? And more importantly… is there anything edible in it?”

Nothing says shy, elusive wild carnivore quite like standing on the camp table inspecting your travel mug.

I think the quoll may have been studying the humans. 😂🐾

This column is prompted by a very special visitor to our campsite on a recent short holiday to some of…

It’s not just misleading advertising — it’s practically a quoll accommodation guarantee. 😂

If I booked a stay based on that advertising, I’d be checking in and immediately asking reception: “Right, where’s my spotted-tailed quoll?”

The same image appears on the Save the Daintree website, and it is also commercially available as an iStock stock image. So unless this particular quoll has an impressive career in tourism promotion, it certainly doesn’t demonstrate that it was photographed at the advertised property.

And those repeated scratch marks on the tree trunk? They look suspiciously like a well-used quoll runway — potentially suggesting a captive, habituated or lured animal rather than a lucky once-in-a-lifetime wild encounter.

Moral of the story: advertise the room, advertise the rainforest, advertise the view — but perhaps don’t advertise the resident quoll unless the little bloke is actually on the payroll. 😂

Spotted something special? 👀 The spotted-tailed quoll is Australia's largest carnivorous marsupial, and seeing one in the wild is something most people only dream about.

Found in pockets of rainforest across the Atherton Tablelands, these elusive native predators play an important role in keeping ecosystems healthy. They're agile climbers, mostly nocturnal, and unfortunately listed as endangered in Queensland.

This incredible sighting was captured at Hitching Rail Retreat. Have you ever been lucky enough to spot a quoll?

No mush room here, all full.
What a great recognition, “the smaller you are more impact you have in this ever changing World”.

Fungi advocates say the recognition is a milestone for conservation and protection.

“The highest-risk marine mammals are the sea lion, fur seal and elephant seal, and the highest risk land mammals are the Tasmanian devil and eastern quoll. Eight species of dolphin are at risk and one, the common dolphin, is at very high risk.”

“where almost one in five of Australia’s mammals and birds is at a risk of severe, or very severe population reduction or extinction, and they haven’t massively invested over the last few years in scaled-up protections for our wildlife is an indictment on the government.”

Almost one in five Aus­tralian bird and mam­mal spe­cies is at high, very high or extreme risk from the bird flu virus spread­ing in Aus­tralia, accord­ing to data pub­lished on the fed­eral envir­on­ment depart­ment’s web­site on Tues­day...
