"Spotted Survivor" - Spotted-tailed Quoll Print

This captivating illustration showcases the spotted-tailed quoll, one of Australia's most distinctive and endangered native carnivores. Robyn Clarke's detailed rendering brings to life this remarkable marsupial with its characteristic features—the rich brown coat adorned with distinctive white spots, alert expression, and long spotted tail that serves as both balance aid and communication tool. The artwork captures the quoll perched on a curved branch, demonstrating its natural agility and arboreal abilities. Notice the precise rendering of its small rounded ears, bright eyes, and delicate pink paws that make these nocturnal hunters so well-adapted to their forest environment. The subtle colour variations in the fur and the detailed spotting pattern, including the distinctive spots on the tail, showcase the artist's exceptional skill in portraying this unique Australian species. Spotted-tailed quolls are Australia's largest surviving carnivorous marsupial and are now found in fragmented populations along the eastern coast from Queensland to Tasmania. These cat-sized marsupials are skilled hunters that feed on insects, small mammals, birds, and reptiles, playing a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. Their spotted coats provide excellent camouflage in the dappled forest light, while their semi-arboreal lifestyle allows them to escape ground-dwelling predators. The perfect addition to any nature lover's collection or an ideal gift for those who appreciate Australian wildlife art.
