The Tokunoshima spiny rat

Today, someone created an article about this rat, called Tokudaia tokunoshimensis. It's an endangered rat, too. But I didn't find it listed on the Missing Mammals page. Just wanted the project members to know the article now exists. Thanks. --Seduisant (talk) 01:52, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Eastern or Western Quoll

Re: File:Dasyurus geoffroii -Billabong Koala and Wildlife Park-8a.jpg. This image description has recently been changed from Western Quoll to Eastern Quoll on Commons. Image for identification please. Snowman (talk) 13:16, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry this is my mistake that I just realised I meant to identify the image as a tiger quoll not an eastern quoll (its very early in the morning in Australia), No zoo or wildlife park houses Western Quolls in Australia and billabong koala park only houses eastern quolls and tiger qoulls. I will fix this. ZooPro 13:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Re: File:Dasyurus geoffroii -Billabong Koala and Wildlife Park-8b.jpg. From the white spots in its fur, I think that this is the same individual animal. Snowman (talk) 23:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

That is correct, I would move it myself but I dont have file move rights on commons. Thanks for the logo size fix on Billabong article I did intend on fixing it and expanding the article just got caught up in real life stuff. ZooPro 00:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
