Datos interesantes

Eastern Quolls are marsupials, meaning tiny, underdeveloped babies finish growing safely inside their mother's pouch!

Sadly, these quolls disappeared from mainland Australia by the 1960s, now only surviving in Tasmania.

Their thick, bushy tails can store fat, acting like a built-in snack bar for tougher times!

They often make a unique "sneeze" sound to communicate, especially when they feel threatened or excited!
