The eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized carnivorous marsupial in the dasyurid family, and one of six extant species of quolls.

Dasyurid feet of various sizes! 👣

Tasmanian devil
Spotted-tailed quoll
Swamp antechinus

This is a male agile Antechinus. He has rather large “nuts”, and like most dasyurid marsupials will live a short life and go out in a flurry of sex. After a short breeding season all the males die off. Generally referred to as going out with a bang.

And what size and color would you like your dasyurid today?

i can't wait to see your thylacine!! oh, am i not going to see it because it's harder to pass an edited tree shrew (or Tasmanian devil, or quoll. can't find any sources saying they've settled on which Dasyurid to use yet) off as a thylacine to clueless investors?

The eastern quoll (formerly known as the eastern native cat) is a medium-sized carnivorous marsupial (dasyurid), and one of six extant species of quolls. Endemic to Australia, they occur on the island state of Tasmania.

An intimate look at the life of a tiny Australian marsupial that eats invertebrates, like grubs, worms, moths and crickets. They're part of the Dasyurid family, the largest members of which are the Tasmanian Devil and the Tiger Quoll. #australianwildlife 🌏

One for the #Dasyurid. Releasing this cute little stripe-faced dunnart (Sminthopsis macroura) from pitfalls this morning.

That isn't a New Holland Mouse. It looks like a Dasyurid, which is a carnivorous marsupial, although the blurred snout makes it difficult to ID. This is a New Holland Mouse.

Don't miss the Dasyurid nerd-out in the replies (dunnarts, planigales, antechinuses, ningauis, quolls...)
I have a little theory called the ‘Dasy line of pain’. It suggests if you plot dasyurids by body size, the intercept of when their bites become more than a tickle, is the kaluta. More data points welcome.

I’d rather be bitten by a Dasyurid than a rodent, until either are bigger than a dusky Antechinus… then I def don’t want to be bitten at all. By the time you reach a 1kg quoll their teeth go way too deep.

Big dasyurid energy…

So happy to have this neat little paper out. We screened all Dasyurid RNA-seq libraries available in the SRA database and identified evidence of 15 novel viruses including what could be the first detection of a chu-like virus in mammals

At what point can I charge this antechinus rent, he keeps coming back in no matter how often I relocate him back outside.
