0 a type of marsupial (= an animal that lives in a bag on its mother's body after birth) that lives in Australia --
Other species found in the park include bandicoots, bats, koalas, wombats and numerous small ground mammals.
If a bandicoot is startled in its nesting site, it will flee.
In general, however, the northern brown bandicoot shows a strong preference for homes in areas of low ground cover.
It was short-snouted unlike modern bandicoots suggesting that it was more carnivorous than its omnivorous modern relatives.
These local communities consume fish, sago, sweet potato, deer, bandicoot and wallaby.
Basicranial similarities to bandicoots most likely represent shared plesiomorphic characters, and hence are not indicative of a close relationship.
Unlike bandicoots, they are excellent burrowers and build extensive tunnel systems with their strong forelimbs and well-developed claws.
Repeated infestation with the larva, as occurs in rural and wooded suburban areas where bandicoots are common, rapidly leads to the development of hypersensitivity.
