Debate
- I originally challenged Adam to create this page during a "debate" at Talk:Kim Jong-il, along with a parallel challenge to User:172 to create a page for the Red necked Pademelon. As all may see, Adam rose to the challenge and we thank him for the content. It remains to be seen if 172 is as good humored, though as I write this the link is still red. :-( - Gaz 07:43, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * PS: these photos are available for the Red necked Pademelon. - Gaz

Image
Adam had added an image of a Spotted Quoll to the article on 3 Mar 2004. I have removed it for the time being and have asked the web master of the web site it is from (http://www.quollseekers.com/) for permission to use it. If I get the permission, I'll re-add the image, otherwise, it'll have to be deleted. Lupo 09:30, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)


 * No answer received despite repeated attempts. Lupo 11:19, 14 May 2004 (UTC)


 * Who did you mail to? I just send a request not to the webmaster Rhys Parry but to the mailing list of the quoll seeker network . Lets see if something comes out of that. -- Chris 73 | Talk 12:45, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)


 * Yes, I mailed Rhys Parry. Hopefully you'll have more success! Lupo 12:58, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I am adding a picture of a spotted quoll from caversham wildlife park in WA that I took myself, remove if it you aren't fussed on it...SeanMack 06:08, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)


 * That's great! By all means, add your image! Lupo 06:23, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Oops, didn't realise it needed to go in there, soz...SeanMack 06:58, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC) Does the image request get removed now? Or do people see if they want it or etc. I'm new to all wiki stuff...

Is this a quoll?

 * Looks like a Tasmanian Tiger --liquidGhoul 10:51, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

yes that's a quoll, i don't know exactly which species, but its not a tiger. Tigers were (or are depending on your viewpoint) much larger with stripes not spots. mathew 02:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, thanks. I don't know what I was thinking. The teeth probably threw me off. --liquidGhoul 05:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd say it's a Tiger Quoll.--Tnarg1 2 3 4  5 01:17, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, it has the spots on the tail. --liquidGhoul 01:23, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That's the saddest looking spotted-tailed quoll I've ever seen. Looks like an old photo. I wonder what the story behind it is? youcantryreachingme (talk) 11:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Now that I check out the rest of the site, I know the owner - Paul Clacher of Qld, Australia - but I still don't know what the deal is with that photo. youcantryreachingme (talk) 11:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Strange picture... very strange, but defenitely NOT a thylacine. (I just can't get used to calling them Tasmanian tigers, though I occasionally call them Tasmanian wolves). Dora Nichov 02:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Apex Predator?
If the this Quoll is predated by the Red Fox and the cat, as it says in the article, then it is not an apex predator. I query wether it is actually eaten by cats or even foxes very often, though I am sure they compete for its food.

 * Hope I have addressed your concerns on the last matter. I might have been preyed on, but data is lacking in that respect. As for being an apex predator, as for the natural ecology it fits the description, but this need clarit=fication and a reference. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 02:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I was about to start another section on this issue. This article is contradictory, it states the animal is an Apex predator but admits in ecology that is preyed upon by Tasmanian devils, masked owls, wedge-tailed eagles and dingoes not to mention ferral cats and dogs. If you do not consider the dingo to be native to Australia, I think it is safe to assume that prior to its introduction the thylacine would have preyed upon the tiger quoll. I think this reference needs to be removed.  Cavalryman V31 (talk) 06:39, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Conservation Status
"The Tiger Quoll is listed by the IUCN on the Red List of Threatened Species with the status "vulnerable"." On the chart at the top of the article it's marked as one level higher ("near threatened"). Can someone who knows how change this so both parts of the article (chart and text) convey the Tiger Quoll's status accurately? DGRJI (talk) 22:04, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
