How much does a Eastern quoll weight?

It is hard to guess what a Eastern quoll weights. But we have the answer:

An adult Eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus) on average weights 1.12 kg (2.46 lbs).

The Eastern quoll is from the family Dasyuridae (genus: Dasyurus). They can live for up to 6.75 years. When reaching adult age, they grow up to 33.3 cm (1′ 2″). On average, Eastern quolls can have babies 1 times per year with a litter size of 5.

As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.

The eastern quoll (Dasyurus viverrinus), formerly known as the eastern native cat, is a medium-sized carnivorous dasyurid marsupial native to Australia. They are widespread and even locally common in Tasmania. They have been considered extinct on the mainland since the 1960s, however have been reintroduced back into fenced sanctuaries in 2016, and more recently into the wild in March 2018. It is one of six extant species of quolls.
