	Desert Bandicoot
		The Desert Bandicoot lived in sand plain and sand ridge desert in central Australia until about 30 years ago.
		Spinifex grasslands and tussock grass flats were the habitat of the Desert Bandicoot.
		The decline of populations of Desert Bandicoots can be attributed partly to predation by foxes and cats and partly to a change in the fire regime from frequent low intensity fires to occasional devastating wildfires.

	Desert Bandicoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Desert Bandicoot (Parameles eremiana) was a small bandicoot of the arid country in the centre of Australia.
		Unconfirmed reports suggest that its range may have extended to the Tanami Desert and the arid Western Australian coast between Broome and Port Hedland.
		Favoured habitat was sandy desert with spinifex and other tussock grasses.

	Bandicoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bandicoot is any of about 8 species of small to medium-sized, terrestrial marsupial omnivores in the subfamily Peramelinae (the true bandicoots) of the family Peramelidae; or in a broader sense, any of about 21 species of fairly similar animals in the order Peramelemorphia.
		The word bandicoot is the anglicised version of "pandhikoku" (piglike) in Telugu language, the species that was originally called bandicoot is the Bandicoot Rat also known as Indian bandicoot.
		In recent years, however, it has become clear that the rainforest bandicoots of New Guinea and far-northern Australia are distinct from all other bandicoots, and these remain within the order but are now grouped together in the separate family Peroryctidae.

		The desert bandicoot, Perameles eremiana, has a head-and-body length of 8-12 inches; the tail is about half the length of the body.
		The desert bandicoot feeds on insects--including termites, ants, and beetle larvae--vegetables, seeds, and roots for which it forages at night by digging or hunting.
		The introduction of foxes into the bandicoots' range would have contributed to the decline of some populations, but the most likely cause of decline is associated with the changes in habitat.

	Encyclopedia: Peramelemorphia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		All members of the order are endemic to the twin land masses of Australia-New Guinea and most have the characteristic bandicoot shape: a plump, arch-backed body with a long, delicately tapering snout, very large upright ears, relatively long, thin legs, and a thin tail.
		A third view suggests that the bandicoot group evolved from a primitive carnivore, developed the syndactylous hind foot as a specialisation for climbing, and the diprotodonts then split off and evolved the two-tooth jaw that gives them their name.
		Recent molecular level investigations do not so far appear to have resolved the puzzle, but do strongly suggest that whatever the relationship of the bandicoot group to the other marsupial orders may be, it is a distant one.

	Saving Endangered Species Privately: Endangered Species in Australia
		Many of these extinctions occurred recently enough that etchings and even photographs exist for some animals, including the Tasmanian tiger, the desert bandicoot, and the crescent nail-tailed wallaby, which was last seen as recently as the 1960s.
		Feral cats, foxes, and rabbits16 have long been blamed for the extinction of numerous species in Australia, although recent work has also emphasized the importance of habitat alteration and of the special susceptibility of small, desert marsupials and rodents to extinction pressures.
		For example, Tim Flannery points out that the brunt of extinctions has been borne by small species (50g to 5kg) inhabiting drier regions, while similarly sized reptiles, birds, and rainforest dwellers have not suffered the same fate.17
