Eastern quoll

The size of a small domesticated cat, the eastern quoll can be found in southeastern areas of Australia in dry grassland feasting on insects and small mammals. These marsupial mothers can grow 30 fetuses at a time. However, they are only able to feed between six and eight babies in their pouches, leading to many fatalities. After only ten weeks in the pouch the babies are placed in grass-lined dens, allowing the mother to hunt and retrieve food.
