  Rainforest bandicoot   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The rainforest bandicoots or Peroryctidae are small to medium sized marsupial omnivores native to New Guinea and nearby areas, including far-northern Australia, Seram, and Kiriwina.
Where the true bandicoots originated in Australia and on the whole are well adapted for that relatively arid continent, the rainforest bandicoots evolved in New Guinea and although they occupy a wide range of habitats, are primarily creatures of the dense, wet tropical forests.
Just as there is a single species of true bandicoot which has crossed Torres Strait to colonise New Guinea (the Northern Brown Bandicoot), there is a single species of rainforest bandicoot which has crossed in the opposite direction, and occupies the most northerly part of Australia (the Rufous Spiny Bandicoot).

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Bandicoot
First, the bandicoots of the New Guinean and far-northern Australian rainforests were deemed distinct from all other bandicoots, and these were grouped together in the separate family Peroryctidae.
The bandicoot has features which characterise the carnivorous marsupials and the herbivorous marsupials; firstly, the presence of many incisor teeth, as in the flesh and insect-eating marsupials, and secondly, the second and third toes have grown together, as in the herb-eating marsupial, the kangaroo.
Bandicoots are one of the few native mammals to have remained abundant close to the major cities of Australia.

Kde opravdový bandicoots vznikal v Austrálii a v celku být dobře přizpůsobený k tomu relativně vyprahlému kontinentu, bandicoots deštného lesa se vyvinuly v nové guineji a ačkoli oni zabírají široký rozsah lokalit, být primárně zvířata hustých, mokrých tropických lesů.
Jen jak tam je jediný druh opravdového bandicoot, který procházel přes Torres úžinu kolonizovat novou guineu (Northern osmahne Bandicoot), tam je jediný druh bandicoot deštného lesa, který se křížil v opačném směru, a zabírá nejvíce severní část Austrálie (Rufous ostnatý Bandicoot).

''Echymipera'' The rainforest bandicoots (family Peroryctidae) are small to medium sized marsupial omnivores native to New Guinea and nearby areas, including far-northern Australia, Seram, and Kiriwina.
There are 13 species in 4 genera, the smallest weighing less than 100 grams (roughly half the size of a rat) and the largest reaching over 5 kilograms (the size of a large domestic cat).

 Peramelemorphia (peramelemorphia info)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Order (biology) Peramelemorphia includes the bandicoot s and bilby : it equates approximately to the mainstream of marsupial omnivores.
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.
