Quoll meets NX2000

Saw this little guy. An eastern quoll, about the size of a small cat.

Nice job getting a shot of this guy, and even with the tricky back lighting.   Are they common?  I'm not familiar with them at all.

Yes, it wasn't an ideal setting. Eastern Quolls, one of several different types, including northern, western and tiger quolls. They are all endangered, eastern in particular. It's bigger than it looks in the photo, it's the size of a small cat.

Well done.

@ttbek I say those critters are pretty rare; as an Aussie, I've only ever seen one (and that was in captivity).. I understand they're extinct on the Aussie mainland at least.
