Etymology

The word 'quoll' is believed to have originated from an Aboriginal language in Australia. These small carnivorous marsupials have been an important part of the Australian ecosystem for centuries. They play a crucial role in controlling insect populations and maintaining the balance of their habitats. However, due to human activities such as deforestation and introduction of non-native species, quoll populations have been declining. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique and fascinating creatures for future generations to enjoy.
