Record numbers of eastern quoll joeys born at Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary

There's been a baby boom of eastern quolls at a New South Wales wildlife sanctuary, with a record number of joeys born this season. Key points: A breeding program manager says the births feel like a "modern Jurassic Park" The joeys are being carefully monitored There has also been successful breeding among quolls previously released into a larger part of the sanctuary The breeding program is run by Aussie Ark in a bid to safeguard the endangered quoll species. The Aussie Ark breeding program started in 2017 when nine eastern quolls from Tasmania were delivered to the organisation's Barrington Wildlife Sanctuary on the NSW Mid North Coast. "Our goal at Aussie Ark is rewilding the mainland, to have the landscape look as it did hundreds of years ago, and eastern quolls were certainly part of that landscape," he said.
