The spotted-tailed quoll occurs in forests of eastern Australia and Tasmania. It uses various forest types, riverside woodland and sheltered retreats that allow it to rest between hunting trips.
It is a predator eating small and medium-sized mammals among other prey. It may hunt marsupials and introduced rabbits, supplementing its diet with birds, reptiles and insects. It travels on the ground but can also climb.
It generally lives alone. Males range over larger areas, while females maintain their own breeding sites. White spots also cover its tail, distinguishing this species from other quolls.
