Picture taken from an old family-video ( hence the quality - or the lack of it ;) ! ).
At that time Rotterdam was the only zoo outside Australia keeping the species. The original animals came 1977 for the "Notogaea"- exhibition direct from Australia. At the time of this photo ( 1990 ) there were still 4 animals kept but the last one left the zoo ( died ? ) 1992.
 
I'm not sure about quolls being part of the Notogaea Exhibition. I believe they came later on, in the 1980's together with bandicoots, northern sugar gliders and hairy-nosed wombats among others.
 
I checked the Notogaea species list: Spotted Quoll were part of the exhibition and Eastern Quoll came later on to the Henri Martinhuis.
