The spotted quoll is Australia’s largest remaining carnivorous marsupial. A powerful nocturnal hunter, it preys on birds, small mammals, and reptiles, often climbing trees in pursuit of food. Despite its strength and agility, the species is threatened by habitat loss and competition from introduced predators, making it an increasingly rare sight in the wild. I photographed this one at a wildlife sanctuary for injured mammals in Tasmania. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 105mm macro lens, ISO 3200, f/4.5 at 1/250th of a second.
