Northern quolls are carnivorous and do not eat plants and vegetation. Lantana is, however, an invasive species that kills off native grasses and vegetation from which naive mammals and birds feed, hence reducing the number of animals for the Northern quoll to prey upon.

Why is the quoll becoming endangered?

Quolls are endangered by loss of habitat, and especially from predation by introduced species such as dogs, cats and foxes, as well as competition from introduced species. The Spotted-tail Quolls and Northern quolls are both being killed off as a result of eating the Cane Toad, which is poisonous. Timber harvesting in Tasmania poses a significant threat to the spotted tail quoll's shelter and removes hiding places for the quoll's prey, resulting in less food. In some areas, because quolls have been known to kill poultry, farmers have deliberately baited the marsupials. This is an illegal practice, but it still happens. Further, quolls are known to ingest the 1080 poison put down to control populations of feral cats, foxes and rabbits.

Could eating a toad make you sick?

Some species of toads can be eaten like in France for instance, but some are highly dangerous, it is more likely for you not to eat toads because you never know whats in them, or if they are clean or not so you better not take the risk. Eating a single toad is normally enough to kill a quoll, meaning that in the wild the animals never have the chance to learn not to eat them. The toads have driven quolls to extinction in many parts of northern Australia and will soon invade the Kimberley region, one of the quolls' last strongholds.
