Say cheese!

While undignified, checking eastern quoll teeth can tell us a lot about their lives. Looking at how worn down their teeth are can tell us their age, and broken/missing teeth can explain why a quoll is loosing weight.

4 year old quoll canines are often worn down to stumps!

Dropped eastern quoll VHF trackers can be real sneaky and hard to find, dropped in burrows, in log piles and sometimes just camouflaged. Can you spot the VHF tag in this image?

This photo was taken while pinpointing a signal, without realising the tag was in frame!
