- There are even plans to reintroduce indigenous wildlife to the valley, notably rock wallabies, the distinctively spotted tiger quoll, and the potoroo.
- Cane toads are highly toxic when eaten and have driven the northern quoll, a cat-sized marsupial, to extinction in many parts of northern Australia.
- There is, at this stage, no evidence that the recently reported decline in eastern quolls has anything to do with foxes.
- There are wallabies and quoll on the island as well as feral foxes, possums and a great deal of bird life.
