1307:, Australia. The pups were born to inexperienced parents, both just one year old. The reason for the young parents was because older male quolls can become violent and kill the female if they do not want to mate. By breeding one-year-old quolls, there was no threat of violence. Four of the quoll pups will be sent to other zoos or wildlife parks across Australia, but one, which the researchers named Nelson, will stay at the centre to become an "ambassador for all quolls".

1050:. The spotted-tailed quoll is the largest, with the male weighing about 7 kg (15 lb) and the female 4 kg (8.8 lb). The northern quoll is the smallest, and the male weighs on average 400 to 900 g (14 to 32 oz), and the female 300 to 500 g (11 to 18 oz). Their coats are sandy, brown, or black, with a sparse scattering of white spots. They have bright pink noses and long snouts.
1193:, is the size of a grain of rice at birth. Up to 30 quolls (species dependent) can be born in each litter, but the number that can be raised is limited by the number of teats. The survivors fuse to the teats and suckle milk in their mother's pouch for 6–8 weeks. After this, the pups unfuse from the teats and the mother can deposit them in a den where they can remain for over a month.
1259:. The poison is extremely toxic to introduced pests, but less so to native animals as it is found naturally in many Australian plants. However, juvenile quolls may be susceptible to the poison. As of 2001 research was being undertaken to determine whether the number of quolls protected from predators may be less than those killed by the poison.
1279:. The native quolls predated upon rabbits and prior to 1870, many accounts recorded quolls impeding their establishment on the mainland while island colonies thrived. In response, quolls were systematically exterminated by colonists to defend introduced species such as chickens; rabbits populations subsequently reached

Quolls are solitary, nocturnal animals. Depending on the species, adult quolls can be 25 to 75 cm (9.8 to 29.5 in) long, with hairy tails about 20 to 35 cm (7.9 to 13.8 in) long. Average weight differs greatly depending on the species; male western and eastern quolls weigh about
