It is unknown how many tiger quolls, also known as spotted-tailed quolls, there are left in the wild. No research has been undertaken since 1993, but numbers do appear to have fallen significantly in the last twenty years. These quolls live in scattered colonies, which also makes it difficult to accurately determine numbers, and its conservation status, as listed with the Australian Department of the Environment and Heritage, is endangered.
