Tiger Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus) - Australia

Issued in 1976 as part of the Endangered Animals series, this stamp commemorates the Tiger Quoll (Dasyurus maculatus), also known as the Spotted-tailed Quoll, a carnivorous marsupial native to Australia. Recognizable by its reddish-brown coat marked with distinctive white spots, the species is one of Australia's largest surviving marsupial predators. Habitat loss, hunting, and competition from introduced species contributed to declines in its population, making it a subject of conservation concern.

By featuring the Tiger Quoll, the Federal and Islamic Republic of the Comoros highlighted the importance of protecting endangered wildlife and preserving biodiversity. The issue raised awareness of the threats faced by vulnerable species and emphasized the need for conservation efforts to safeguard unique animals and their habitats for future generations.
