The Northern quoll is more than Threatened. It has a national listing of Endangered, and a Northern Territory listing of Critically Endangered.

Is a quail extinct?

No. In 2003 there were only 65 Northern Quolls in the Northern Territory of Australia. Scientists moved them all to two islands off Arnhem Land, where there are no cane toads. (Cane toads are poisonous but were easy prey for the quoll.) Five years later, in 2008, their numbers have increased to over 6000, according the the NT Government Scientist, John Woinarski. However, the Northern quoll is classified as "critically endangered" in the Northern Territory, and "endangered" elsewhere. The Eastern quoll has become extinct from the mainland, and is only found in Tasmania, where its status, although relatively common, is "threatened". The western quoll is so named because it has become extinct from the eastern states, and is now only found in the far southwestern corner of Western Australia. Its departure from Queensland was basically unnoticed, as from the time of European settlement it was evidently quite scarce.
