Best Answer

As the largest dasyurid (carnivorous marsupial) on Australia's mainland, the quoll is needed to help keep down the numbers of marsupials such as possums which would breed prolifically. If left unchecked, possums would cause damage to the environment as they are doing in New Zealand, where there are no native predators for them.

Quolls are carnivorous marsupials, so they are hunters. They are nocturnal, so they are most active at night, but they are crepuscular, meaning that they tend to feed at dawn and dusk. They are solitary animals, and partially arboreal, meaning they spend much of their time in trees. despite being solitary, they share a common toilet site in open spaces, as a way of indicating their territory.
