Eastern Quoll, Tasmania, AustraliaQuolls were my favorite animals from my Tasmania trip last year. I saw two species, the spotted quoll, and this guy, the eastern quoll (although, as you can see, he is also nicely spotted). Quolls are carnivorous marsupials, like Tasmanian devils, and are almost strictly nocturnal. The eastern quoll comes in two colors — a dark brown, almost black like this guy and more of a lighter beige color.
