Eastern quolls reintroduced into the wild after 50-year disappearance

Once abundant on Australia’s mainland, the eastern quoll — also called the native cat — has been extinct in the country for half a century.

Fortunately, they’re still widespread in Tasmania, where they exist in the wild and in captive breeding centres on the island state. Now, they’re making a comeback.

This week, 20 eastern quolls were returned to the wild at Booderee National Park, located on the south coast of New South Wales.
