Damn nice shot, of a damn nice species.

From Leipzig, I guess ? They are kept in Twilight World, correct ?

Ever better when you have wild ones eating your cooked chicken bones at night just a few feet from your campfire.... (Lucky Bastard Award?)

Damn straight

Though I suspect that it may not have been the Eastern Quoll in your case, going from what I recall of your travels in the past?

I was going by GL's Bristol label photo giving Tasmania as the distribution. Correct?

This was in Tasmania. I only wish a Thylacine had joined them too(as that species used to come to old settlers camps to scavenge sometimes too) but it wasn't to be...

Ah, they will have been Eastern then having checked the distribution

for some reason I'd been thinking the one restricted to Tasmania was Tiger but I was incorrect.

I don't know where they came from, but they are in the Twilight World (former douroucouli/sloth enclosure to be specific).

They must come from Leipzig, from where else?

Frankfurt had just one litter of 5 and this litter came from Leipzig inside their mothers pouch.

I presume they were born in summer last year, 1,3 of 19 born last year.
