Shy Young Quoll Takes Feather Into Burrow

An eastern quoll pup emerged briefly from its burrow where a number of the rare species were living at a Canberra nature reserve on Monday, January 15.

The pups gave hope for the species when they were born at Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary in October 2017.

This footage, filmed by Australian National University researcher Belinda Wilson, shows one pup finding a feather and bringing it back to the burrow. Credit: Facebook/Belinda Wilson via Storyful
