Adults are between 25 and 75&amp;nbsp;[[Centimeter|cm]] long, with hairy tails about 20-35&amp;nbsp;cm long. Females have six to eight nipples and develop a pouch&amp;mdash;which opens towards the tail&amp;mdash;only during the breeding season, when they are rearing young. The babies are the size of a grain of rice. Quolls live both in forests and in open valley land. Though primarily ground-dwelling, they have developed secondary arboreal characteristics. Their molars and canines are strongly developed. <br /> <br /> == Taxonomy ==<br /> Within the genus ''Dasyurus'', the following species exist:<br /> * [[New Guinean Quoll]], ''Dasyurus albopunctatus'', New Guinea<br /> * [[Western Quoll]] or Chuditch, ''Dasyurus geoffroii'', western Australia<br /> * [[Northern Quoll]], ''Dasyurus hallucatus'', northern Australia <br /> * [[Tiger Quoll]] or Spotted Quoll, ''Dasyurus maculatus'', eastern Australia <br /> * [[Bronze Quoll]], ''Dasyurus spartacus'', New Guinea<br /> * [[Eastern Quoll]], ''Dasyurus viverrinus'', [[Tasmania]] (formerly mainland eastern Australia)<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *{{MSW3 Groves|pages=24-25}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{mammal-stub}}<br /> {{MEA-expand}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Dasyuromorphs]]<br /> [[Category:Australian Aboriginal terms]]<br /> [[Category:Mammals of Australia]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Beutelmarder]]<br /> [[es:Quoll oriental]]<br /> [[fr:Dasyurus]]<br /> [[nl:Buidelmarters]]<br /> [[pl:Dasyurus]]<br /> [[pt:Quoll]]<br /> [[ru:Сумчатая куница]]</div>
