This depends on the species. There are four species of quoll in Australia.

1. Spotted tailed quolls, also known as 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 northeast 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 believed to be extinct on the mainland.

4. The Western quoll, also known as the Chudich, 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.
