	Northern Brown Bandicoot -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Northern Brown Bandicoot make individual nests or homes on the ground consisting of simple mounds of hay and twigs that are well camouflaged and waterproof.
		Bandicoots are not social animals and do not live in groups, with the exception of mother and her young.
		Bandicoot populations further suffered after the introduction of the fox and cat, both predators of small animals (Grzimek 1990).

	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[?].

		Bandicoots are native to forests, plains, and deserts throughout Australia and New Guinea.
		The northern brown bandicoot, the long nosed bandicoot, and the eastern barred bandicoot live in humid habitats including grassy plains, scrub, and woodlands, and even in town gardens.
		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: 2007-10-08)
		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.

		Bandicoots are native marsupials that shelter during the day in bushland, along creek beds and in other thickly grassed areas, emerging at night to search for food.
		Bandicoots play host to ticks and are often blamed for the presence of ticks and tick plagues.
		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.

	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.

	Bandicoot facts
		long, the tiny bandicoots make their way to the pouch whilst still attached to he umbilical cord untill such time as they are securely attached to one of 8 teats.
		Normally only 3-4 young are raised, this is due to the fact that mum may breed again as soon as the young leave the pouch, the teats that the young used are now too large for the newly born to attach to, thus 2 successive litters will use alternate teats.
		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.

		Although bandicoots are nocturnal and shy, this one had dragged his body out of his daytime sleeping spot to a path near a fence, where some people saw him and alerted the rescue service.
		As the bandicoot was unable to clean or groom himself, we had to perorm all of the intimate little tasks that would keep him clean and comfortable.
		Bandicoots are widely disliked by fastidious gardeners as they dig holes in gardens in their search for grubs and yummy roots.

		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.

		Two foregut-fermenting marsupials (the Northern Bettong Bettongia tropica and Rufous Bettong Aepyprymnus rufescens) and a hindgut fermenter (the Northern Brown Bandicoot Isoodon macrourus) were studied.
		The Northern Bettong and Northern Brown Bandicoot are of similar body size (around 1 kg); the Rufous Bettong is significantly larger at 3 kg.
		Analysis of N-15/N-14 ratios suggested that the Northern Bettong derived almost all its N from fungus, the Northern Brown Bandicoot derived practically no N from fungus, and the Rufous Bettong was intermediate.5.

	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 effect of tick infestations on body weight and various blood parameters was monitored in juvenile northern brown bandicoots (Isoodon macrourus) after release into tick-infested or tick-free enclosures.
		Bandicoots released into tick-infested enclosures showed a reduced growth rate (1.8 versus 2.5 g/day increase in body weight), a reduced haematocrit value (27.4 versus 40.0%) and an increased number of white blood cells when compared with bandicoots released into tick-free enclosures.
