Gang finds unusually spiky creatures in nest
But these are not just any creatures. They belong to the species “western quolls,” which are a specific type of marsupial carnivore.
Nowadays, the western quolls, also known as chuditchs, are only found in the southwestern corner of Australia, and only in small clusters.
This species of marsupial grows to about the size of a cat and plays a significant role in the ecosystem. They help control populations of smaller invertebrates, as well as certain reptiles and birds.
