In the past, the western quolls were distributed across Australia. But ever since the first Europeans began settling in Australia, the population of this species has witnessed a drastic decline.
Currently, the western quolls, also known as chuditchs, can only be found in the southwestern corner of Australia, and in small, scattered groups.
This marsupial species grows to approximately the size of a cat and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. They assist in controlling the populations of smaller invertebrates, along with certain reptiles and birds.
