Group Discover Unusually Spotted Creatures, Stunned When They Realize What They Are

Note: we are republishing this story which originally made the news in November 2023.

In an exciting breakthrough for wildlife conservation, ecologists at Mt. Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary in Australia recently made a remarkable discovery: the first-ever baby western quolls have been born at the sanctuary. This unexpected find occurred during a routine survey when researchers spotted several female quolls with tiny, wriggling infants nestled in their pouches.

Western quolls, also known as chuditch, are fascinating marsupials that grow to roughly the size of a domestic cat. These adorable creatures play a crucial role in their ecosystems by controlling populations of small invertebrates, reptiles, and birds. Nonetheless, their population has sharply decreased in recent years. According to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC), western quolls once thrived in various habitats across the Australian mainland, but their range has dramatically decreased since European settlement.

AWC reports that these quolls are now primarily found in the south-western corner of Western Australia, with their distribution within this area remaining patchy. Following extensive habitat loss and changes brought on by human activity, conservationists have been actively working to reintroduce these unique marsupials back into their former habitats. The recent births are a promising sign that their efforts are beginning to pay off.
