	Australian marsupial, Bandicoot, Bilby - Aussie-Info.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		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.
		The bandicoot is quadrupedal and its large hind legs are longer than the forelegs, and are used for hopping.
		Bandicoots are one of the few native mammals to have remained abundant close to the major cities of Australia.

	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 Bandicoot - Werner Schmidlin
		The front feet have three toes with long curving claws, so the holes they dig are narrow and pointed at the bottom, and the narrow snout fits neatly into the hole to get the worm or grub at the bottom of the hole.
		Of course, for many bandicoots and rats that escaped the inferno into the fallow field, it was not the culmination of a lucky break.
		The bandicoot digs holes with their shorter front legs in search of food, and if the pouch opened the other way, it would fill up with soil and smother the young.

	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.

	Northern Brown Bandicoot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Northern Brown Bandicoot (Isoodon macrourus) is a common bandicoot in the suburban gardens along the east coast of Australia, being a regular visitor to many people's gardens and lawns during the winter months.
		The Bandicoot's day is spent in a well concealed nest consisting of a heap of ground litter over a shallow depression, providing an internal chamber with loose regions at each end for entry and exit.
		A layer of soil may be kicked over the top of the nest in rainy weather for waterproofing; bandicoots being regarded as having an instinct for detecting bad weather, as they go into a feverish activity of adding material to their nest, before the rainy event.

	MANLY ENVIRONMENT CENTRE
		While bandicoots could still be found on private land owned by the Catholic Church on St Patrick's Estate and in adjoining home gardens, the residents felt there had been a significant decrease.
		There were a number of interesting cases reported of domestic animals being treained to avoid contact with the bandicoots in their own gardens, or happily accepting a curfew between dusk and dawn.
		This statement is surprising to say the least, particularly considering that the development she approved coincided with the existing bandicoot habitat mapped out by the church's consultant.

	Bandicoots
		The northern brown bandicoot is common to the north of the Hawkesbury River in coastal areas and on the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range.
		Bandicoots eat insects, earthworms, insect larvae and spiders, and also feed on plant tubers, roots and truffle-like fungi to supplement their diet.
		Although some people associate bandicoots with ticks, this may be because humans tend to pick up ticks most easily in long grass or thick scrub – which also happens to be the type of habitat favoured by bandicoots.

	Living Harbour - Long-nosed Bandicoot, Perameles nasuta
		One fascinating species, which until the early 1960s was widespread and common around the harbour, is the Long-nosed Bandicoot.
		Museum records of this species span nearly 120 years from 1878 to as recently as 1998 when one was hit by a car near Manly.
		Although Long-nosed Bandicoots are regarded as common in the eastern parts of their range, this small colony in a city with almost four million people is remarkable, and has been classed as an 'endangered population'.

	! Rainforest Carniverous Marsupials ! Tropical Rainforest Queensland Australia
		In Australia's prehistoric times, bandicoots were much more varied, but they seem to have suffered from climate change, the invasion of the rodents from Asia over millions of years, and finally, the arrival of European man (Archer et al 2000).
		Bandicoots have a fast reproductive cycle, and if conditions are good, they may breed and raise offspring every seven weeks (Egerton et al 1997).
		Their fur is brown, their noses long and their tails short – or often missing, bitten off during aggressive encounters between the rather territorial and solitary adults.

		All bandicoots are nocturnal, and of the seven existing in Australia, these two are at present the most secure, although their habitat is most definitely dwindling.
		In theory, it is possible that a female bandicoot can bear between 36-40 young in her short lifetime, but research has found that only 12 offspring over the 18 months are likely to survive to sexual maturity in the wild.
		Not only has the bandicoot got to contend with domestic predators, but they are also prey to owls, quolls, foxes, and cane fires, and it is not uncommon to find dead or injured coots who have been run over by slashers.

		Long-nosed bandicoots, along with the Northern brown bandicoot, share the shortest gestation period recorded in mammals - 12.5 days from conception to birth.
		But it's the long-nosed bandicoots of the greater Sydney area that are the ones having the most difficult time of late.
		Given that only about 200 bandicoots live in the entire greater Sydney area and that they are listed as a threatened species in the Manly area of Sydney, this disruption/relocation represents putting five per cent of the entire population at risk.

		The long-nosed bandicoot was sighted in Willoughby for the first time in twenty years in November 2002 and of the fifteen sightings recorded in Castle Cove since then, a juvenile was recently discovered.
		With a long nose and hind feet like a kangaroo, the bandicoot is grey or brown in colour with a white fury belly.
		Active at night, the bandicoot spends the day in a nest of leaves and soil built complete with a closing door or in hollow logs, rock crevices and abandoned rabbit burrows.

		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.
