Where do quolls live?

Answer 1

Quolls, sometimes incorrectly referred to as native cats, can be found in Australia and New Guinea. There are four types of quoll in Australia.

1. Spotted tailed quolls, or tiger quolls, live in bushland, coastal heathland and

rainforest along the eastern coast of Australia.

2. Northern quolls live in rocky areas and eucalyptus bushland from southeast Queensland right along the northern coast to northwestern Western Australia.

3. Eastern quolls live in a range of habitats, from heavily wooded bushland and rainforest, to grasslands and even agricultural fringes in Tasmania. They are extinct on the mainland.

4. The Western quoll, also known as the Chuditch, has retreated to just the far southwestern corner of the Australian continent. It used to be found in Queensland, but has not been sighted there for decades.

Within their habitat, quolls shelter in hollow logs, rock crevices or burrows in the sand.

Answer 2

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 bushland to rainforest, as long as there is plenty of ground cover. They also live in thick coastal heathlands along the eastern coast of Australia.

Answer 3

Quokkas are quokkas, and there is no species known as the "short-tailed quokka".

The quokka lives in a limited number of areas of Western Australia. One of their healthiest populations is on Rottnest island, a small, protected island off Perth, the capital of Western Australia. The quokka can also be found in the coastal plain around the Swan River, near Perth and Gingin. It is also found on Bald Island, and at Harvey and Collie in the Stirling Ranges.
