The western quoll is a medium-sized predatory marsupial mammal. It has gray-brown fur with white spots on its back and sides and a black tail.
The western quoll differs from the eastern one by its black tail without spots. It is important for nature because it regulates the population of small animals and insects in the forests of Australia.
