The primary threats to the spotted tailed quoll are habitat destruction, and predation by feral animals such as foxes and wild dogs.
The spotted tailed quoll is not actually endangered in all areas of Australia, even though it is listed nationally as endangered.
In Queensland, it is listed as endangered in the northeast of the state, but vulnerable in the southeast of Queensland.
It is also listed as endangered in South Australia, but classified as "vulnerable" in New South Wales and Victoria. In Tasmania it is classified as "rare".

∙ 10y agoThe spotted tailed quoll, also known as the spot-tailed quoll or tiger quoll, is listed as Endangered nationally and Vulnerable in Tasmania.
Tiger quolls/ spotted tail quolls are endangered by loss of habitat, and especially from predation by species which man has introduced, such as dogs, cats and foxes, as well as competition from introduced species. The Spotted-tail Quoll in the north is being killed off as a result of eating the Cane Toad, another introduced species, which is poisonous. Man's timber harvesting in Tasmania poses a significant threat to the spotted tail quoll's shelter and removes hiding places for the quoll's prey, resulting in less food.
In some areas, because quolls have been known to kill poultry, farmers have deliberately baited the marsupials. This is an illegal practice, but it still happens. Further, quolls are known to ingest the 1080 poison put down to control populations of feral cats, foxes and rabbits.

However, of major concern is the fact that these quolls prey on the cane toad, which is found in huge numbers in the north. Cane toads are poisonous when ingested, so there are trials of various means of preventing the northern quoll from attempting to eat cane toads.
