"Rare Fanged Beast Rediscovered by Farmer After Centuries of Extinction"

A South Australian farmer discovered a fanged creature, believed to be extinct for over 100 years, while trying to protect his chickens. The captured photos of the animal led to its identification as the spotted-tailed quoll, also known as the tiger quoll. The species was considered extinct in South Australia, with no official records for over a century. The discovery highlights the importance of wildlife conservation efforts, as the quoll population has dwindled to an estimated 14,000 in the wild. The National Parks and Wildlife Service has set up traps and plans to use trail cameras to monitor any suspected quoll populations in the area.
