There are four types of quoll in Australia, one of which is the spotted tailed quoll, which is also sometimes called the tiger quoll. The largest of the quolls in Australia, it is mostly found in Tasmania, and some locations along the Eastern seaboard of the mainland, through Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.
Spotted tailed quolls, or Tiger quolls live in most types of forest, from wet and dry sclerophyll forest (eucalyptus bushland) to rainforest, as long as there is plenty of ground cover. They also live in thick coastal heathlands and scrubland along the eastern coast of Australia, and they ar also found in Reforest bushland along inland rivers and waterways.

What impact do cane toads have on Quolls?
Cane toads have had a major impact on quoll populations in Queensland and the Northern Territory. Quolls are carnivores, and feed on birds, reptiles, arthropods and mammals up to the size of a possum. Habitat loss has resulted in fewer of these species and thus a reduced food source for the quolls, so they have resorted to eating cane toads. Spotted-tail and Northern Quolls are both being killed off as a result of eating the Cane Toad, which is poisonous.
Do quolls live underground?
Not at all. Quolls are arboreal (tree-dwelling) marsupials, as they are nimble climbers.
