	Bandicoot: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Bandicoot
		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.
		Classification within the Peramelemorphia used to be simple: there were thought to be two families in the order—the short-legged and mostly herbivorous bandicoots, and the longer-legged, more nearly carnivorous bilbies.
		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[?].

	Bandicoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		The embryos of bandicoots, unlike other marsupials, form a placenta-like organ that connects it to the uterine wall.
		The function of this organ is probably to transfer nutrients from the mother; however the structure is small compared to those of the placentalia.

		Bandicoots sleep so soundly in their nests that, in the days before they were protected, hunters could pin them down with their feet and pick them up.

		The bandicoot are nocturnal animals, meaning that during the day they rest in their nest whilst during the night they emerge and begin to look for food.
		The main killers of the eastern barred bandicoot are its predators such as foxes and feral cats, land clearing as humans are clearing land damaging their homes to build.

	Threatened Species - Eastern Barred Bandicoot
		There were 11 species of bandicoots found in Australia, but three are now extinct, and another three, including the Eastern Barred Bandicoot, are highly endangered.
		The bandicoot does not require free water, but proximity to creeks and wetlands is advantageous, especially in times of drought.
		Almost all of the native grasslands and grassy woodlands that were once the home of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot has gone, but they may survive in habitat such as tree shelter belts and bush blocks on farms providing there is sufficient ground cover.

	Peramelemorphia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		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.

		This method has been successfully employed overseas and in Australia and is being trialed for Eastern Barred Bandicoots.

		Initially about 200 native mammals were released into the feral-proof area, including 50 southern brown bandicoots from Warrawong, which ESL estimates will grow to a population of as much as 3,000.84 Other species in the sanctuary include the longnosed potoroo, rufous bettong, and red-bellied pademelon (rufous wallaby).
		As native trees, grasses, and shrubs are planted and the habitat regenerates further, other species to be released include the Eastern barred bandicoot, Eastern quoll, Eastern brushtailed bettong, brush-tailed rock wallaby, and platypus.
		Species planned for reintroduction include pademelons, bettongs, bandicoots, potoroos, and the yellow-footed rock wallaby.
