Fate of quolls rests with a snappy tom Endangered Quolls at Mt Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre. Picture: Mike Dugdale Source: Herald Sun THIS cute little meat-eating marsupial was not feeling so cuddly during a vet check this week. The 7kg eastern quoll was fighting fit and ready to snap as vets delicately microchipped him and took his DNA. The six-month-old marsupial is among 19 of the cat-sized creatures ready to be released in Victoria. He was raised with his brothers and sisters at Mt Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre. But from next week he will be battling to survive at the 450ha sanctuary north of Melbourne where he will be monitored by wildlife carers. And he didn't get away without leaving his carers with a little memento. "Gave me a nice little love bite," said centre manager Annette Rypalski. Almost took my finger off, I will definitely remember him.
