A South Australian farmer trying to protect his chickens has caught a spotted quoll – a species not recorded in the state for over 130 years.
Pao Ling Tsai lost one of his chickens to a predator earlier this week but managed to take some photographs of the animal before it escaped. Unsure of what he had seen, he contacted South Australia’s national parks and wildlife service and they set up a trap.
