The marsupial marten is the second largest marsupial predator in Australia, which is second only to this indicator. The species got its name because of some resemblance to a true cat and marten. In addition, the animal is also known as the "quolla" or brindle cat.

The body length of the marsupial marten is from 25 to 75 cm, the tail is 20-60 cm long, the weight varies widely from 900 g (for Dasyurus hallucatus) to 4-7 kg (for Dasyurus maculatus). Females are smaller in size. The fur is short, thick and soft; the tail is covered with longer hair. The ears are small. The tail is strong and thick.

The back and sides of the animal are from gray-yellow to black with white spots, the belly is white, gray or yellow. Females have 6-8 nipples. Brood pouch opens back. Canines and molars are well developed.

The marsupial marten goes hunting at night. Her diet is quite varied. It features reptiles, birds and their eggs, rabbits and other small mammals. Great strength and size allow the animal to hunt even larger animals (tree possum, heron, young wallaby). Courageous and agile, the marsupial marten, if necessary, becomes careful and patient.

Since this species lives in forests, then, climbing the trunks of trees, they destroy the nests of birds, watch the latter among the branches, or catch them right on the fly. They can also hunt sleeping birds.

The marsupial marten lives in the east of Australia and on the island of Tasmania, is under protection, it is quite rare. Mainly for life, this animal chooses rain, cool forests and thickets along the banks of reservoirs.

Common types of marsupial marten

It is widespread on the island of New Guinea, where it lives in the highlands at altitudes up to 3600 m above sea level. In addition, it lives on the Yapen Islands in tropical rainforests. He hunts rats in the garden plots.

The smallest species of its kind with a body length of 240 to 350 mm, a tail ranging in length from 210 to 310 mm. Average weight 450 g. The coat is thick and coarse, with a small undercoat. The back is brown with white spots. The tail is dark brown or black.

This species can now be found exclusively in eucalyptus forests in southwestern Western Australia. It is listed as vulnerable in the IUCN Red List. The natural habitat is deserts, meadows, sclerophyte forests, coastal areas with thickets of bushes.

The weight of adult males is 0.7-2 kg, females are 0.6-1.12 kg. The body length of males is from 310 to 400 mm, for females - from 260 to 360 mm. The tail of males is 250-350 mm long, of females - 210-310 mm. The fur is soft. The back and sides are brown or black, with white spots. The belly is creamy white. The muzzle is elongated, pointed, light. The ears are large, rounded, with a white border. The eyes are large. Paws are short.

Small species with males weighing up to 900 g, and body length ranging from 25-35 cm. The coat is short and coarse, gray-brown or gray, with white spots; the tip of the tail is black.

Previously, the species was distributed over a fairly extensive range from Pilbara in western Australia to southeastern Queensland, but now its range has been reduced to several separate areas in northern Australia. The northern marsupial marten lives in rocky areas or in the eucalyptus forests near the coast. The species is listed in the IUCN Red List of Dangerous Goods.

A large variety of marsupial martens with a body length of about 60-75 cm, a tail length of 50 cm, and a weight of up to 7 kg. The fur is dark brown in color, it differs from other species in white spots on the tail, which is reflected in the name of the species.

Now the spotted marsupial marten consists of two isolated populations - in the north of Queensland (near Cairns and Cooktown) and in the east from the south of Queensland to Tasmania. It is listed in the IUCN Red Data Book as “a species that is in a state close to threatened”.

It is the only mammal that lives on the island of New Guinea in the Fly River basin in the south of the island. Its natural habitat is savanna woodland. During the rainy season, the area is noticeably reduced due to the flooding of the river.

The body length is from 350 to 450 mm, the tail is from 240 to 285 mm long. The coat is soft, colored golden brown. The back is dark chocolate with orange and small white spots. The tummy is creamy. Feet are dark golden bronze in color. The tail is yellowish brown or black without spots. The muzzle is pointed. The ears are small, rounded.

The species reaches 45 cm in length, the tail is about 30 cm long, and its weight is about 1.5 kg. The coat is colored from black to yellowish brown; white patches cover the entire body except for a bushy tail with a white tip. The muzzle is pointed.

The species is included in the IUCN Red Data Book as "in a condition close to threatened"

In all species of the marsupial marten, sexual dimorphism is manifested in the fact that males exceed females in size.

Marsupial martens are active mainly at night and lead a solitary lifestyle. During the day, they rarely go out in search of food. Animals spend a lot of time among trees or their fallen trunks at the bottom of the rainforest.

The marsupial marten is a skilled hunter. She kills her prey with lightning speed with a blow to the neck or head.

The mating season in the marsupial marten occurs at the beginning of winter once a year, but after the loss of offspring, the animal can also mate again. The gestation period is about 20 days, after which 4-6 cubs are born. After 7-10 weeks, the female leaves them in the shelter and goes hunting. If it is necessary to change the shelter, then the female can transfer the babies on her back. At the end of autumn, when the cubs reach the age of 18 weeks, they become independent, and at 1 year they become sexually mature. The lifespan of the species in captivity is 3-4 years.

Previously, the marsupial marten was widespread in the southeast of Australia, but after the epizootics of 1901-1903 and due to uncontrolled destruction, their numbers began to decrease, and now the species has practically disappeared on the continent, but they are still common in Tasmania.

  • The marsupial marten is a ferocious predator strong enough to take on cats and dogs when needed.
  • This is a real arboreal animal in the way and nature of life. He has well-developed thumbs and the structure of his paws allows him to firmly grasp the branches and trunks of trees.
  • In relation to people, marsupial martens behave covertly and timidly. But at the same time - this is one of the most warlike inhabitants of Australia and Tasmania.

Russian name- Speckled marsupial marten (kwoll)

Latin name- Dasyurus viverrinus

English name - Eastern quoll (Eastern native cat)

Detachment- Carnivorous marsupials (Dasyuromorphia)

Family- Carnivorous marsupials (Dasyu idae)

Genus- Spotted marsupial marten (Dasyurus)

The Latin name for this species, Viverrinus dasyurus, translates as "Ferret-like animal with a fluffy tail."

Species status in nature

The species is listed in the International Red Data Book as close to the vulnerable position of UICN (Near threatened).

It is protected by federal law, although in the state of Tasmania, where the species is still common, a law on its protection has not yet appeared.

The main enemies of the qualls are stray cats, which actively compete with them for food and displace marsupial martens from their usual habitats. Dog attacks, deaths under the wheels of cars, illegal hunting using poisoned baits and traps also contribute to the decline in the number of the species. Yet the reasons for the extinction of speckled marsupials in mainland Australia are not completely clear. The biology of the species has been studied quite well, but the same cannot be said about the diseases of these animals. A sharp decrease in the number of the species was led, among other things, by outbreaks of diseases in 1901-1903.

Perhaps, in Tasmania, the species was saved from complete extinction by the fact that there are no dingoes and foxes in this state.

In mainland Australia (Nielsen Park in the Sydney suburb of Vaucluse), the last specimen of the spotted quoll (hit by a car and killed) was received on January 31, 1963. Until 1999, the National Conservation Service was repeatedly reported that the animals were seen in the vicinity of Sydney, but these data have not been documented. Quolls caught west of Melbourne (Victoria) are most likely associated with a nearby conservation research center - they were either animals that escaped from this center, or their descendants. In 2015, a small group of Quolls were released for reintroduction in a protected area near Canberra (mainland).

View and person

For the first time, the description of the speckled marsupial marten appeared at the end of the 18th century and was given by the traveler James Cook.

After the colonization of Australia, the quolls began to hunt poultry, rabbits, and, although rats and mice also became their victims, the farmers still exterminated them for ruining the poultry houses. Less than a hundred years ago, back in the 1930s, speckled marsupials were frequent guests in Australian gardens and even settled in the attics of suburban homes.

Distribution and habitats

Quolls are found mainly in places with high humidity and a large amount of precipitation per year: in humid rain forests, river valleys. In Tasmania, quolls are found in sparse forests, forest plantations, meadows, pastures and various biotopes of the transitional type, with the exception of tropical rainforests. It enters swampy wastelands, alpine meadows, damp shrub thickets and moss swamps, at an altitude of up to 1500 meters from sea level.

In the past, the species lived in both Tasmania and mainland Australia - including South Australia (from the southern tip of the Flinders Ridge to the Fleurieu Peninsula), Victoria and New South Wales to the mid-northern coast. Currently, the area has decreased according to various sources by 50-90%. Currently, wild quolls remain only in Tasmania and on the island of Bruni in the Tasman Sea (where the species was introduced). In Tasmania, quolls are quite common, but even there their distribution is rather focal in nature.

Appearance

Kvoll is a medium-sized animal; in size it is compared to a cat. It is not surprising that the common English name of the species is translated as "native oriental cat". The body size in males is 32-45 cm, females are slightly smaller - 28-40 cm.The length of the tail in males is 20-28 cm, in females from 17 to 24 cm.The males also weigh a little more: from 0.9 to 2 kg, then as the weight of females from 0.7 to 1.1 kg.

These are animals with a long body and short limbs. The first toes are missing on the four-toed hind limbs, which distinguishes the qualls from other species of spotted marsupials. The head is narrow, conical with a pointed muzzle and erect, rounded ears.

The color of the soft, dense fur can vary from almost black to fairly light. There are two color variations: one is lighter, yellowish yellow with a white belly, the other is dark, almost black, with a brownish belly. Light coloration is more common, but pups can be colored differently in the same litter. Whatever color the fur is, all over the body, except for the tail, the quolls have a pattern in the form of white spots with a diameter of 5 to 20 mm. The tail is long, fluffy, with a white tip.

Females have a relatively shallow pocket overgrown with fur, formed by folds of skin. During the mating season, the pocket grows, 6 or 8 nipples become visible inside, which lengthen and begin to function only if a baby is attached to it. After the babies leave the pouch, the nipples decrease in size again.





Lifestyle and social behavior

Quolls prefer to live alone. These are nocturnal predators that hunt on the ground and in general, although they climb trees beautifully, where they are more willing to run skipping.

Quolls spend the day in burrows, crevices between stones or tree hollows. Their burrows are simple, without branches and a second exit, although sometimes more complex ones are found, with one or several nesting chambers lined with grass. Each quall has several burrows, usually no more than five, and uses them in turn.

The animals try to avoid each other, although sometimes the researchers met pairs of two sexually mature females. Individual plots are large and average 35 hectares for females and 44 hectares for males, and in the mating season, the area of ​​the plot for males increases dramatically. The owners mark the borders with a patch of scent marks.

Adults scare off aliens by hissing at them and making various sounds. If, for some reason, the intruder does not leave immediately, the owner switches from preventive measures to attack - rising on his hind legs, he chases the enemies and tries to bite.

Feeding and feeding behavior

Quolls are predators whose main food is insects, mainly beetle larvae. However, the qualls do not have a narrow food specialization; small animals, birds, lizards and snakes often become their prey. After the colonization of Australia, they began to hunt poultry, rabbits, rats and mice, and the farmers exterminated them for the ruin of poultry houses. They are also known to pick up food leftovers after another predator, the Tasmanian devil - they deftly snatch small pieces right from under the noses of larger devils. Quolls have very close relations with this species: the Tasmanian devil (along with foxes introduced by humans, feral dogs and cats) is the main food competitor of the quoll. Quolls themselves serve as prey for Tasmanian devils and Australian barn owls.

Although animal food forms the basis of the Quoll's diet, their diet still includes a herbal supplement - the animals willingly eat the green parts of plants all year round, and in the summer they feast on ripening fruits.

Vocalization

Aggressive qualls hiss, make sounds that resemble a cough, as well as shrill, sharp screams - alarm signals.

Mothers and babies communicate with each other with quieter sounds.

Reproduction and rearing of offspring

Quolls breed in early winter, from May to August. After gestation lasting 20-24 days (on average 21 days), the female gives birth to 4-8 cubs. There are sometimes up to 30 cubs in the litter,

However, she has only 6 nipples in her bag, so only the first newborns survive - those who managed to get to the bag and grab the nipples first. After 8 weeks, the cubs leave the pouch and during the hunt, the females take refuge in the den. If necessary, the female carries them on her back. At the age of 10 weeks, the babies leave the pouch, and the female leaves them in a burrow lined with grass or a shallow hole, and she herself begins to move away to hunt or find some food. If, for some reason, it is necessary to move to another burrow, the female carries the cubs on her back.

At the age of five months, around the end of November, when there is enough food, the young begin to feed on their own. While the female takes care of the children, their mortality rate is quite low. However, the grown up animals scatter, and in the first months of independent life, many die.

Quolls reach maturity by the end of the first year.

Life span

Life expectancy in nature is up to 3-5 years. The maximum recorded lifespan in captivity is 6 years and 10 months.

Animal in the Moscow Zoo

Speckled marsupials appeared in the Moscow Zoo quite recently, in 2015. Before that, none of the Russian zoos had quolls.

To save speckled marsupials from extinction, it was decided to try to learn how to keep and breed them in captivity. This was done by zoologists at the Leipzig Zoo (Germany). Their work was crowned with success - they breed regularly and they feel great. Several years ago, our employees were in Leipzig, and they liked these cute marsupials so much that they began to find out if they could be brought to the Moscow Zoo. It turned out to be not so easy. Indeed, in order to receive approval for the maintenance of a certain type of animal, the zoo must first prove that it is able to create all the conditions necessary for it. As for the quolls, it was very important for them, for example, not to violate the light regime typical for Australia, because otherwise the females of this species cease to reproduce. The Moscow Zoo was able to fulfill all the requirements of its German colleagues, and was put in a queue: we were far from the only applicants for these rare marsupial animals, because besides Leipzig, eastern quolls are kept in only a few European zoos. They have not yet been brought to our country, and the Moscow Zoo received speckled marsupials first among all Russian zoos.

Kwola arrived to us in June 2015. And as many as six pieces! Two males and four females, one of whom had already reached an old age and could hardly participate in reproduction. When the animals arrived in Moscow, their breeding season was already coming to an end. But to our surprise, after some time, mating was recorded; in marsupial martens, it can last up to several hours, so it is not difficult for zoo workers who regularly check their pets to notice it. During mating, the male holds the female by the sides with his forepaws, and grabs the withers with his teeth, and so tightly that the female's hair falls out on the neck and even a small wound may form (for Australian colleagues this is a sign of successful mating). After mating, we put the female separately so that no one would disturb her. The duration of gestation in eastern quolls is 20-24 days, as in all marsupials, cubs in quolls are born measuring only 5 mm and weighing 12.5 mg. Somehow, these "almost embryos" manage to get into the bag to the mother on their own. And in July we saw the cubs already in the bag! They were so tiny that at the first check of the bag, fearing to bother the young mother for a long time, we could not even count them. Subsequently, it turned out that there are five cubs, and some of them are black, some are brown (which is not surprising, because their mother is brown, and their father is black). Embryos in kvols can be up to 30, but since the female has only six nipples, she can feed no more than six babies. So it turns out that only those cubs survive who manage to be the first to get to the mother's bag. Each of them attaches to its own nipple and remains in the pouch for about 60-65 days. Wool appears in babies at the age of 51-59 days; eyes open at 79-80 days; teeth begin to erupt at about 90 days. From about 85 days, when the cubs are already completely covered with wool, but still depend on the mother, they begin to go out with her on the night hunt. At the same time, they often cling to the back of the female, but gradually the coordination of their movements improves, and they become more and more independent. At the age of 105 days, the cubs begin to eat solid food, but the female continues to feed them with milk until 150-165 days. In nature, the mortality rate of pups is very low while they remain with their mother, but increases sharply in the first 6 months of their independent life. By the end of the first year, young quolls become sexually mature. In general, their lifespan is relatively short compared to placental mammals of the same size. In zoos, marsupial martens live up to 5-7 years, but in nature they live no more than 3-4. So females of 1-2 years of age usually take part in reproduction (at 3 years old they are already considered elderly).

Now all five of our cubs already look almost like adults. They have become completely tame - however, they trust only those people who feed them. Now at the exposition in the "Night World" you can see three young, very active males.

We bring you a poem dedicated to the kwoll by the Australian poet David Wonsbrough from The Living Alphabet of Australia.

Marsupial marten KVOLL is a great aristocrat.

He found an area to his liking where he was happy to live.

I lived in Vaucluse *, according to the “all inclusive” system **.

But times have changed - and how terrible life has become!

There are stray cats all around, and with the onset of darkness

There are so many cars that Quall panics:

“Look, they’ll play me like a ball in football.

And these cats are disgusting - what a bastard, without a bag!

Come in large numbers here, simple idiots. "

Quall sighs in disappointment: “My thought is simple:

I'm afraid this rabble will spoil the best places! ”

* Vaucluse is an area in Sydney where quolls were still found in the 1960s.

** All inclusive - all inclusive.

Brief characteristics of the genus

Spotted marsupial martens (marsupial cats) are widespread in Australia, on the islands of Tasmania and New Guinea. The genus of these marsupial mammals, outwardly similar to cats and martens, unites six species.
For spotted marsupials, the characteristic body length is 25-74 cm, and the tail is 20-40 cm, sometimes 60. Weight, depending on gender, varies from 1 to 3-6 kg. Females in this genus are somewhat smaller than males. The head is small and dull, or pointed and short (depending on the type). The ears are small to medium in size. The presence of the first toe on the hind legs (except for the species Speckled marsupial marten) is characteristic, as well as plantar cushions in the spotted and dwarf marsupials. The molars, as well as the canines, are very well developed. The number of teeth is 42. The first upper incisor is sometimes spaced apart from the other incisors. Canines and molars are highly developed. The number of chromosomes in a diploid set is 14.


Females have 6-8 breasts and a brood bursa, which develops only during the breeding season and opens back. At other times, it looks like a fold on the belly. The hair covering the body is thick, soft and short, and the tail is the same, but long. The characteristic irregular white spots on the gray-yellow, gray-brown or gray-black back gave the name to this genus. The belly of spotted marsupials is yellow, white, or gray. The end of the muzzle is red.
Representatives of this genus prefer to settle in forests near the sea, sometimes in open areas. Inhabitants of forests and open plains are found in human settlements. Often found near human settlements. Marsupials are predatory animals with nocturnal activity. During the day, they seek refuge in crevices, heaps of stones, in hollows of trees, under roots, abandoned burrows and other nooks and crannies they can find. The animals spread the place for daytime rest with bark and dry grass. At night, they hunt medium-sized mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, crustaceans, insects. They also eat shellfish, carrion, fruits. Although these marsupials are land animals, they climb trees well.
Spotted marsupials living near people steal meat, fat, destroy poultry. Because of such actions, farmers often destroyed these animals in Australia, thereby causing significant damage to the population of this genus. Currently, Australian species are listed in the IUCN International Red List.
Reproduction takes place once a year from May to July. In the speckled marsupial marten, the female usually gives birth to 4-8 cubs. There is a known case of the birth of 24 cubs in one female. The young leave the mother's nipples at about 8 weeks of age. The eyes open at 11 weeks. At 15 weeks, they start eating meat. They switch to independent life at 4-4.5 months of age. By this time they reach a weight of 175 g. In the spotted-tailed marsupial martens, 4-6 cubs are born; pregnancy for about three weeks. At 4 weeks, the cubs' body length reaches about 4 cm. At 7 weeks, the eyes open and they leave the mother's nipples. They begin to live independently at the age of 18 weeks.

The speckled marsupial marten belongs to the family of carnivorous marsupials. These animals live in Tasmania. Once these martens lived throughout the entire southeastern Australia, but foxes, dogs and cats brought to the mainland in the 20th century exterminated speckled marsupials.

In addition, these animals hunted domestic birds, and therefore people began to destroy them, setting traps and laying out poisoned baits.

And this is completely in vain, since martens destroy rodents, insects and other pests. However, in 1901 there was an epidemic, and it completed their work for the people - the number of speckled marsupials was significantly reduced.

Local residents called these animals "kuol", which translates as "cat-tiger", and the settlers, having heard this name, began to call the speckled martens "kwolls". Naturally, the speckled marsupial marten is very far from the bloodthirsty tiger, but it has a lot in common with the domestic cat. First of all, they have almost identical dimensions - the length of the marten's body is about 45 centimeters, the height at the withers is 15 centimeters, the length of the tail is 30 centimeters, and the weight is about 1.5 kilograms.


The color of this animal ranges from yellowish brown to black. The whole body is covered with light spots of various shapes, while the spots on the back and sides are much larger than on the head.

The tail has a single color without specks. The belly is light. The muzzle of the speckled marten is elongated with a cute pointed nose. Ears are medium in size, rounded.

These animals are nocturnal; in the dark it is easier for them to catch a small mammal, a land bird or destroy a nest. In addition, quolls feed on insects, sometimes they consume carrion. At times they raid farms, where they strangle any birds they come across. Particularly brave individuals are not afraid to sneak into a home and steal food straight from the kitchens.


Because of their lifestyle, speckled martens have a very careful creeping gait, but at the same time they can make lightning-fast and sharp movements. These animals spend most of their lives on the ground, they climb trees very reluctantly, they do it badly.

Hear the voice of the speckled marsupial marten

If there is an urgent need, the marten can climb the inclined trunk. In too hot time, the animals hide in caves, in the mouths of trees, between stones. In these shelters, martens train bark and grass, building nests.


The breeding season lasts from May to September. During this period, it is winter in Australia. One female gives birth to more than 4 babies, in captivity one speckled marsupial marten gave birth to 24 cubs. But, unfortunately, only those babies survive who are the first to find the nipple and attach to it, and there are only 6 nipples in the mother's bag, therefore, only 6 of the strongest babies survive.


The brood pouch of these martens is completely different from the pouch of a kangaroo: it is formed only during the breeding season, while being turned towards the tail. The babies do not leave the mother's pouch for about 8 weeks, after which they sit in the den while the female hunts.

The name was given due to some similarity with real martens and cats. Also called "Kwollami"... Body length 25-75 cm, tail 20-60 cm; weight varies from 900 g ( Dasyurus hallucatus) up to 4-7 kg ( Dasyurus maculatus). Females are smaller. Body hair is usually short, thick and soft; the tail is covered with longer hair. The ears are relatively small. Coloration on the back and sides from gray-yellow to black with numerous white spots; on the belly - white, gray or yellow. Females have 6-8 nipples. The brood bursa develops only during the breeding season and opens back towards the tail; the rest of the time it is represented by skin folds, limiting the milky field from the front and from the sides. Canines and molars are well developed.

6 species of this genus are common in Australia, Tasmania and Papua New Guinea. They live both in forests and on open plains. The way of life is predominantly terrestrial, but they climb trees and rocks well. They are active at night, rarely during the day. During the day, cracks among stones, caves, hollows of fallen trees, where marsupial martens drag dry grass and bark, serve as a refuge during the day. Carnivorous, feeding on small mammals (the size of a rabbit), birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, molluscs, freshwater crustaceans and insects; carrion and fruit are also eaten. After the colonization of Australia, they began to hunt for the introduced species; on the one hand, marsupial martens cause some harm, ruining chicken coops (one of the reasons for their decline was their extermination by farmers), on the other hand, they are useful animals that destroy pests, rats, mice and rabbits. Out of the breeding season, they lead a solitary lifestyle. They breed once a year, in the Australian winter from May to July. Pregnancy lasts 16-24 days. There are 2-8 cubs in the litter, although it happens up to 24-30. The number of marsupial martens in Australia has greatly decreased due to epizootics of the early 20th century, destruction of habitats, extermination by people and food competition with imported predators (cats, dogs, foxes), but they are still quite numerous in Tasmania and New Guinea. All Australian species are listed in the International Red Book.

The striped marsupial marten is also called the only representative of the genus. Myoictis.
