A group of researchers in Australia has made a thrilling discovery at the Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary—a litter of newborn western quolls, spiky little creatures once on the brink of extinction. These marsupial carnivores, previously found throughout Australia, had nearly disappeared, now only surviving in small clusters in the southwest. However, recent efforts to reintroduce them to the sanctuary have succeeded, with new babies indicating a thriving population. Ecologist Georgina Anderson shared that regular monitoring shows their successful adaptation. This breakthrough brings new hope for the western quoll’s future in Australia.
