	Animal Info - Western Barred Bandicoot
		The Western barred bandicoot formerly occurred in Australia from near Onslow in Western Australia south to near Perth and east through southern South Australia to western New South Wales and northwest Victoria, as well as Bernier and Dorre Islands in Shark Bay, Western Australia.
		The Western barred bandicoot is omnivorous, eating insects, seeds, roots, herbs and small animals.
		The Western barred bandicoot is usually nocturnal, spending the daytime in a nest beneath a low shrub or tussock, although it has occasionally been seen in the daytime.

	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.
		The endangered southern brown bandicoot is patchily distributed, and seems to occur south from the Hawkesbury River to the Victorian border and east of the Great Dividing Range.
		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.

	Threatened Species - Eastern Barred Bandicoot
		It was formerly widespread throughout western Victoria, but is now virtually extinct in the wild, with only a handful of bandicoots surviving in and around the City of Hamilton.
		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.

		The gestation period of the Western Barred Bandicoot is a mere 12.5 days (one of the shortest gestation periods recorded in mammals).
		Other reintroductions of this species are planned and if these populations prove successful, then perhaps the status of the Western Barred Bandicoot may become sufficiently secure for it to be removed from the list of endangered species.

		In recent years, however, it has become clear that the rainforest bandicoot rainforest bandicoots of New Guinea New Guinea and far-northern Australia Australia are distinct from all other bandicoots, and these remain within the order but are now grouped together in the separate family Peroryctidae Peroryctidae.

		One of the world's rarest mammals, the western barred bandicoot, is poised for a return to the Australian mainland, where it is thought to have been extinct for more than half a century.
		The return of the bandicoot marks a new phase in the battle to turn the tide of extinctions which has seen 18 Australian native animals disappear in the last 200 years.
		The bandicoots are shy, delicate animals about the size of a squirrel, with grizzled fur, bulgy eyes and a long, pointed snout which they use to snuffle for insects and seeds in leaf litter and soil.

		Population structure, reproduction, condition, movements and habitat preference were assessed for western barred bandicoots (Perameles bougainville) on Dorre and Bernier Islands over seven trapping sessions between 1988 and 1995.
		The smallest western barred bandicoot with pouch young weighed 175 g.
		Bandicoots appeared to suffer a substantial reduction in numbers on Dorre Island in a prolonged drought extending from October 1986 to April 1989, reducing overall trap success to less than 6% in the 1988 survey.

		Fortunately, two wild populations of the Western Barred Bandicoot clung to survival on Bernier and Dorre Islands in Shark Bay (where there are no feral predators!) These remnant island populations have provided a source of animals for two attempts to reintroduce the species to the mainland and for captive breeding colonies.
		The Western Barred Bandicoot is the fourth threatened mammal that AWC has translocated to Faure Island since the eradication of cats in 2001, following the Burrowing Bettong and Shark Bay Mouse in 2002 and the Banded Hare- Wallaby in 2004 (see map).
		Six of the bandicoots were fitted with radio collars to monitor their survival in the first two weeks after release, and all were trapped to check on their condition and location.

		A bandicoot can be any of 10 species of small to medium-sized, terrestrial marsupial omnivores in the family Peramelidae or, in a broader sense, any of the 21 species in the order Peramelemorphia which includes both the true bandicoots and the related rainforest bandicoots of New Guinea.
		The bilbies, on the other hand, despite their distinct appearance and habits, are more closely related to the true bandicoots than they look, and they are now regarded as at most a subfamily within the Peramelidae.
		The extinct Pig-footed Bandicoot differs significantly from the other bandicoots, and if there were still live animals to study, may well have been reclassified into a separate subfamily or even its own family by now.
