Abstract

The Eastern Quoll Dasyurus viverrinus is now extinct on mainland Australia, but was once common in southwestern Victoria. It was persecuted by landholders for its predation of poultry, but also suffered dramatic declines in population through an unknown disease from about 140 years ago. Eastern Quolls were also considered significant predators of young European Rabbits 'Oryctolagus cuniculus'. The Spot-tailed Quoll 'Dasyurus maculatus' was historically widespread though uncommon in south-western Victoria, but now is confined there to only a couple of sites.
