Is a chuditch a vertebrate?
It is a vertebrate. A Chuditch is a marsupial, also known as a Quoll or Native Cat and is native to Australia and New Guinea. All mammals, such as the chuditch, are vertebrates because they have a backbone (vertebrae).See related links for more information about this carnivorous marsupial.
What does chuditch mean?
Chuditch is simply the alternative name for the Western Quoll, "Dasyurus geoffroii", a dasyurid, or carnivorous marsupial found only in far southwest corner of Western Australia.
What is the western quoll also known as?
The other name for the Western quoll is the chuditch.
Why is the chuditch endangered?
The Chuditch is endangered for many reasons, some of which I do not know a lot about, but I can partly answer the question. One reasone is the the introduction of red foxes, as the Chuditch makes a good meal for a fox; a good size and easily identifiable as good to eat. Feral cats also played a small part in the endangering of the species for the same reasons. Another more tragic reason is the urbanisation of the Chuditch's habitat. When colonies were first established in WA, Chuditchs would sometimes go and take chickens and other small livestock, and so were seen as a menace to farmers. Ever since then, new suburbs and buildings have gradually taken the place of the dry sclerophyll woodland the Chuditchs inhabit, and so there are far fewer surviving.
Which of these is not a marsupial Vicuna Chuditch Tasmanian Devil or Spotted-Tailed Quoll?

Does anything live off a woylie?
There are a few other animals which capture and feed on woylies (another name for the brush-tailed bettong). Native predators include the chuditch (western quoll), wedgetail eagle and other raptors. Introduced predators such as cats and foxes, however, have caused a huge decline in the woylie population.
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.
