They are primarily <a href="/wiki/Nocturnal" class="mw-redirect" title="Nocturnal">nocturnal</a> and spend most of the day in a den.

Another two species are known from fossil remains in <a href="/wiki/Pliocene" title="Pliocene">Pliocene</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pleistocene" title="Pleistocene">Pleistocene</a> deposits in Queensland. Genetic evidence indicates that quolls evolved around 15 million years ago in the <a href="/wiki/Miocene" title="Miocene">Miocene</a>, and that the ancestors of the six species had all diverged by around four million years ago. The six species vary in weight and size, from 300 g (11 oz) to 7 kg (15 lb). They have brown or black fur and pink noses. They are largely solitary, but come together for a few social interactions such as mating which occurs during <a href="/wiki/Winter" title="Winter">the winter season</a>. A female gives birth to up to 30 pups, but the number that can be raised to adulthood is limited by the number of teats (6–7). They have a life span of 1–5 years (species dependent). </p><p>Quolls eat smaller mammals, small birds, lizards, and insects. All species have drastically declined in numbers since Australasia was colonised by Europeans, with one species, the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_quoll" title="Eastern quoll">eastern quoll</a>, becoming extinct on the Australian mainland in the 1960s.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Major threats to their survival include the toxic <a href="/wiki/Cane_toad" title="Cane toad">cane toad</a>, predators such as feral cats and foxes, urban development, and poison baiting.
