    We have just opened a new spot-tailed quoll exhibit, containing 1.1 animals. Features include a 3m x 2m glass viewing window, and a sliding divider which can be used to easily cut the enclosure in half for animal management reasons.

    The male is usually out during the day, often climbing a tree adjacent to the window. He actually seems to play, swinging 360 deg around a branch at times. Pictures in the gallery.

    You have to tag your zoo MRJ, otherwise people won't know where it is!

    I saw this exhibit under construction, it looked like it would be a great enclosure, and reminded me of some of the smaller aviaries for native birds at Melbourne Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary.
