The Pig-footed Bandicoot (Chaeropus ecaudatus) was a small marsupial native to arid and semi-arid regions of Australia, distinguished by its uniquely pig-like forefeet that had only two functional toes bearing hoof-like nails. Unlike other bandicoots, it had relatively long, slender legs adapted for...
Native to New Guinea and parts of Indonesia, the rufous spiny bandicoot is a nocturnal marsupial recognized by its coarse, reddish-brown, spiky fur.
The common spiny bandicoot is a widespread terrestrial marsupial native to New Guinea, distinguished by the harsh, spiky texture of its dorsal fur.
A rabbit-sized marsupial (Perameles nasuta) of eastern Australian forests, noted for its elongated snout and one of the shortest gestations of any mammal, approximately 12.5 days.
A small marsupial (Perameles gunnii) extinct on mainland Australia but surviving in Tasmania and fenced reserves, subject to one of Australia's longest-running marsupial reintroduction programs.
A critically endangered marsupial once widespread across central Australia, now restricted to Barrow Island and parts of the Kimberley after mainland extinction by the 1950s.
One of Australia's largest bandicoots, found across northern and eastern Australia and New Guinea, with a gestation period of just 12.5 days—among the shortest of any mammal.
A critically endangered Australian marsupial extirpated from the mainland by introduced predators, now surviving only on Bernier and Dorre Islands off Western Australia.
An extinct Australian marsupial (Macrotis leucura), last reliably recorded in the 1930s and declared extinct by the 1950s, likely eliminated by introduced predators and habitat loss.
A common omnivorous marsupial found across New Guinea and its satellite islands, distinguished by coarse, bristly fur and among the most widespread bandicoot species in its range.
A small omnivorous marsupial endemic to southern Australia, listed as endangered in Victoria and South Australia primarily due to introduced fox and cat predation.
Found in New Guinea and Cape York Peninsula, Australia, this bandicoot is one of few marsupials with a natural range spanning both sides of the Torres Strait.
An extinct arid-zone marsupial of central Australia, last recorded in the 1940s near the Gibson Desert, lost primarily due to introduced predators and altered fire regimes.
One of the smallest bandicoots, endemic to New Guinea's mid-montane forests and rarely observed, with little known of its ecology or population size.
A small, poorly studied marsupial endemic to the montane forests of New Guinea, representing one of the least-known members of the family Peroryctidae.
