The Northern quoll is more than Threatened. It has a national listing of Endangered, and a Northern Territory listing of Critically Endangered.
No. The Northern quoll is restricted to northern Australia. Only the Bronze quoll and the New Guinean quoll are found on the island of New Guinea.
The weight of the avarage northern quoll is 900g which is 2lbs
The Northern quoll is Endangered federally, in Western Australia and Internationally, and Critically endangered in the Northern Territory.
The Northern quoll's pouch is formed by folds of skin which protect the joeys.
No.
Not especially. The Northern quoll has no stronger a scent than other native Australian animals.

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.
The quoll is considered threatened or endangered in certain regions of Australia. The Northern Quoll, in particular, is facing significant population declines due to habitat loss, predation by invasive species, and disease. Conservation efforts are being undertaken to protect and preserve these unique marsupials.
nope
yes
Only the female Northern quoll cares for the young. The males mate with as many females as they can, and then usually die.
