Bronze Quoll
Dasyurus spartacus
The bronze quoll (Dasyurus spartacus) is a species of quoll found only in the Trans Fly savanna and grasslands of New Guinea and West Papua. It was discovered in the early 1970s when five specimens were collected, but only described in 1987 when Dr. Stephen Van Dyck of the Queensland Museum examined them and recognised their distinctness. As of February 2013 there are twelve public museum specimens, 8 from traps and 4 from local hunters.
