Of the four species of quoll in Australia, only the Western quoll and the Northern quoll are found in western Australia.
The Western quoll is found in wet sclerophyll and dry sclerophyll bushland and mallee remnants in the southwestern corner of the state. It used to be found right across arid and semi-arid regions, with the exception of the far north of the state.
The Northern quoll is restricted to just the Hamersley Range and Kimberley of northwest and northern Western Australia. It used to be found in a much greater range through the north.
Northern quolls live in rocky areas and eucalyptus bushland from southeast Queensland right along the northern coast to northwestern Western Australia.

Is a quail extinct?
No. In 2003 there were only 65 Northern Quolls in the Northern Territory of Australia. Scientists moved them all to two islands off Arnhem Land, where there are no cane toads. (Cane toads are poisonous but were easy prey for the quoll.) Five years later, in 2008, their numbers have increased to over 6000, according the the NT Government Scientist, John Woinarski. However, the Northern quoll is classified as "critically endangered" in the Northern Territory, and "endangered" elsewhere. The Eastern quoll has become extinct from the mainland, and is only found in Tasmania, where its status, although relatively common, is "threatened". The western quoll is so named because it has become extinct from the eastern states, and is now only found in the far southwestern corner of Western Australia. Its departure from Queensland was basically unnoticed, as from the time of European settlement it was evidently quite scarce.
