The spotted quoll is a large predator among marsupials. It has brown fur with white spots on its body and tail, and it lives in the forests of eastern Australia.
The spotted quoll differs from other quolls by spots on its tail and larger size. It is important for nature because it regulates the population of small animals in forests.
