	Ladywildlifes Bandicoot Page
		Bandicoots are native to forests, plains, and deserts throughout Australia and New Guinea.
		Though bandicoots pick some of their food from the ground, they are best known for digging conical holes in the soil with their strong forefeet.
		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.

	Peramelemorphia
		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.

		The closest living relative of the Giant Short-faced Kangaroo is probably the Banded Hare-wallaby (Lagostrophus fasciatus).
		Fossils of the Giant Short-faced Kangaroo have been found at the Naracoorte World Heritage fossil deposits in South Australia, Lake Menindee in New South Wales, Darling Downs in Queensland, and at many other sites.

	Bandicoot at Animal Gifts Galore
		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.

	! Northern Brown Bandicoot ! Tropical Rainforest Queensland Australia
		This bandicoot lives in the generally higher rainfall zones from the east coast of Australia north of the Hawkesbury River to the tip of Cape York in Queensland, and across to the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia.
		The Northern Brown Bandicoot is omnivorous, and as well as eating insects, spiders and earthworms, it enjoys berries, grass seeds and plant fibres such as sugar cane too.
		It is the more commonly encountered bandicoot in the rainforest because it occurs on the edge of the forest, along roads, and in more open habitats, than the long-nosed bandicoot.

		In his latest adventure, Crash Bandicoot jumps, spins, and belly flops around five levels, collecting fruit, and destroying bad guys in an effort to save the world.
		There are different features in most levels: driving a giant hamster ball around a track (my favorite), flying a plane and sinking ships, driving a racecar, controlling a sub.
		Crash Bandicoot is a game that isn't annoying to be around while someone else plays it (something I wish were true of more console games).

	[No title]
		From these basically omnivorous ancestors arose the three main groups of Australian marsupials: the carnivores, the bandicoots (which are still omnivorous) and the largely herbivorous possums, from which would emerge the line leading, eventually, to the kangaroos and wallabies.
		The ground floor belongs to the bandicoots, and like their cousins, the possums in the treetops, many millennia of selection have separated the various species, each in its own niche.
		The echidna, the bandicoots, the dasyurids and the possums, together with the forests in which they live, preserve a part of Australia as it was 15 million years ago.

		He's orange, he walks on his hind legs with his feet encased in a huge pair of trainers, he spins around a lot, he has a wonderfully insane glint in his eyes, he loves apples, and he smashes crates.
		Crash Bandicoot had a slightly strange conception: before he was even born, Naughty Dog had sold him (or at least the copyright) to giant entertainment company Universal Interactive Entertainment, now part of Vivendi Universal Games.

		Crash Bandicoot, the one time unofficial mascot of the Sony PlayStation, has turned out to be one fickle marsupial.
		Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath Of Cortex, is the fourth Crash game in the series (excluding the forays into kart racing and party games), and is continuing to battle against the evil Dr. Neo Cortex who has managed to hatch another wacky plan to help with his bid for world domination.
		Most of the vehicles are controlled in a similar way, but the one refreshing exception is the levels where Crash is contained within a giant hamster ball and has to roll around - welcome additions - and the game could benefit from more of this kind of innovation.

	Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (PSX)
		When you see Crash Bandicoot 2 in action, you may or may not agree with me that there is not a better looking console game on the market -- at least one that is modeled entirely from polygons.
		An orange Bandicoot takes center stage traveling through rich, colorful cartoon settings of jungles, icy caves, and highly mechanized factories, avoiding the indigenous inhabitants which come in many playful shapes and sizes.
		Crash runs directly at you, fleeing the pounding steps of a giant polar bear, jumping over holes and avoiding assorted traps, only to leave the poor white bear rammed into the mouth of a cave as only a typical cartoon chase can end.

	Talk:Mautam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Mass flowering attracts the most attention, such as that of Bashania fangiana in the 1980s that affected the Giant panda, and the regular, once-every-48-year, flowering of Melocanna baccifera in Northeast India that brings famine and environmental degradation." [1].
		Looks like a bandicoot rat to my untrained eyes.
		The article states "...the Melocanna baccifera species of bamboo in the state flowers, which is inexplicably and invariably followed by a subsequent plague of giant bandicoot rats...", and then goes on to explain the increase in rat population.
