quoll and possum battle
The spotted tail quoll (also known as the Tiger quoll) is the largest marsupial carnivore in mainland Australia. Quolls were once abundant all over eastern Australia. But now they thrive mainly in National Parks and in reserves such as Jenolan Caves, where wildlife is conserved.

Jenolan Caves is located in a huge wildlife reserve, teeming with native Australian wildlife. During the day, near the caves, visitors might see wild lyrebirds, lizards, platypus, wallabies and colourful Australian parrots such as crimson rosellas. After sunset, visitors might see wallabies, quolls, owls, possums and wombats. Driving in or out of Jenolan Caves, visitors are likely to see echidn...
Let it eat. Back off and observe.
Quolls are just the Aussie equivalent to like pine martens huh
I think quolls are more like wildcats, with goannas being more like terrestrial mustelids. Feral cats compete with quolls, while feral ferrets have to compete with goannas, which is why ferrets haven't gained a foothold in Australia because goannas are too tough for them.
Great video!
👍👍👍👍👍🙏
Idiotic and pathetic to drive this amazing and rare animal off its prey. Hopefully a lesson there for others. If you can't handle nature red in tooth and claw then look the other way.
So when feral cats eat the possums they are depriving the quoll of its prey...which will sadly lead to its extinction if feral cats are not eradicated.
A possum can kill a feral cat with its teeth and claws quolls don’t only eat possums
@@onyxneaves6797 depending on size it could go the other way cats hunt baby quolls
People are so excited about feral cats evolving into lion-sized apex predators without realising quolls, which are endemic to Sahul (New Guinea, Australia, and Tasmania), will evolve into lion-sized apex predators if cats are eradicated.
Possums drool, quolls rule!

Both these animals are nocturnal so its unusual to see them in the day.
I have vids of nature too and this is alright
Go to the pool of reflections
Really interesting footage, a bit disappointing that you disturbed them enough to interfere in the quolls hunt
A truly magical place. Great video
Awesome, thanks for the upload.
Can a fat person squeeze through those cave holes? It seems so small!
Hello ! I visited this cave 1 day ago, and i heard one music when we were in a room with two ladder. PLease help for know what's this song. Thx

GREAT add for a magical place. We saw the caves 3 times in the last 2 weeks and love them. Blue lake was brown due to all the rain and some of the caves were closed due to flooding but we still had a fantastic time at the Jenolan caves.. Great tour guides as well...
