Predation of the northern quoll by the Pilbara olive python

Little is known about predator–prey interactions between many native predator species occupying the same habitats. Interaction between native predators is generally not well documented, given their often cryptic occurrence and infrequent overlapping ecological niches or activity periods they occupy. Here we report on an occurrence of predation of the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus) by another native predator in the Pilbara region, the Pilbara olive python (Liasis olivaceus barroni).
