Finally met my predator match. Need help.

My twin daughters lost their rabbit to an experienced cat I guess. 2 in one go. Didn't eat a morsel. Just killed them for fun. Sad

I imagine the Tassie devils would like chicken

Tassie devils CAN attack chickens but there is so much road kill here, they rarely if ever do. They are primarily scavengers over hunters unlike cats and other animals.

Quolls are hunters though.

I was wondering what they were. Nasty looking predator.
Probably as bad or worse than mink and weasels.

Yes
any niche will be filled by something similar.

We don't have any of those animals apart from related predatory birds. In addition to our own predator birds we have quolls and foxes but foxes are far more prevalent on the mainland of Australia. Tassie devils eat fox (introduced species)pups. That keeps their numbers very very low. Most have never seen a fox in Tasmania.

Not sure where you are from...but here's how to add your location:

Added my location for you. Tasmania is one of 7 states of Australia. It's an island state thus our wildlife is a bit diff to mainland Australia AND Australia being an island continent is different to most other places anyway.

We have just moved here from mainland Australia recently.

Seven states ... when did they add another one, I must have missed that announcement, doh.
