\"What<\/p>\n

There is now hope for a species that was on the brink of extinction.<\/p>\n

A group of researchers in Australia is thrilled after their efforts to propagate the species seem to have succeeded.<\/p>\n

Recently, ecologists at the Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary in Australia made a stunning discovery.<\/p>\n

In the sanctuary, they found a litter of newborn and spiky little creatures.<\/p>\n

But these are not just any creatures. They belong to the species \u201cwestern quolls,\u201d which are a specific type of marsupial carnivore.<\/p>\n

Previously, the species was scattered throughout Australia, but since the first Europeans began populating Australia, the population of the species has dramatically declined.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, the western quolls, also known as chuditchs, are only found in the southwestern corner of Australia, and only in small clusters.<\/p>\n

This species of marsupial grows to about the size of a cat and plays a significant role in the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

They help control populations of smaller invertebrates, as well as certain reptiles and birds.<\/p>\n

Over the past few months, researchers have been working to reintroduce the marsupials to the Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, an area where they had previously been extinct.<\/p>\n

Now, with the recent discovery of baby marsupials, it\u2019s clear that the researchers have succeeded.<\/p>\n

It seems that the animals are thriving there and have no issues reproducing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough regular monitoring, we can see the quolls are doing well at the sanctuary and encountering the first pouch young is a positive sign that they have adjusted to the new environment,\u201d said Georgina Anderson, AWC Senior Field Ecologist.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne quoll that we\u2019ve named Aang is a regular at camera traps we set up at the release sites. He is one of our largest and most striking quolls with a personality to match \u2013<\/p>\n

often making rounds of multiple sites to collect the chicken we use as lures and disrupting our bait canisters,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

What joy to see hope for the species! Hopefully, it can soon thrive throughout Australia again!<\/p>\n
