The Southern Brown Bandicoot

Показать описание
Of all the unusual marsupials that have suffered since they arrive of Europeans in Australia, the bandicoots have been some of the hardest hit.
Thanks to the arrived of feral predators such as foxes and cats, combined with the loss of the dense undergrowth they need to avoid such predators all bandicoot species suffered a massive reduction in their range, with the western and eastern barred bandicoot both becoming almost extinct on the mainland. The northern brown bandicoot and the southern brown bandicoot both managed to hold on but are now limited to areas with appropriate habitat.
Thankfully as people become more aware of the environment, many people are planting natives on their properties and keeping their cats contained and today bandicoots have made somewhat of a comeback in many parts of Australia.
Thanks to their rapid reproductive rate, female bandicoots can have as many as four litters a year, most species of bandicoots are very capable of repopulating when we can regulate their threats

I love Bandicoots, at least I love them via videos and books since I can't see them in N. America. I appreciate the challenges of Australian conservationists struggling to preserve endemic species, animal and plants. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world! 💜

Another awesome marsupial species that isn’t getting the recognition it deserves. Bandicoots are such unique little mammals, thank you for shedding some light on their biology and inspiring so many people to protect the amazing biodiversity of Australia. Keep up the amazing work Nick!

Got a few of these little guys running & digging around the yard here in the lower Blue Mountains. Never noticed them until recently, feb/mar this year 2021, just over a year after the 2019/20 Black Summer fires. They’re pretty cool little critters, very quick & active at night, & they make the cutest little noises. Very happy to have them around :)

You know what's amazing is that they eat funnel web spiders.

How cute! There are some strange holes in my lawn in the backyard, so I suspect there were these beautiful creatures who did them. I hope so, I`d love to support our wildlife as much as I can. I`ll keep my cats at home to keep bandicoots safe. Thank you so much for such a beautiful video. And thank you for a short video, I`d be very sad seeing this poor guy waiting in your arms for long while you`re recording the video.

All excellent advice. Adorable animals. Reminds me of a very large Shrew. Thanks for the introduction.

Some years ago we found a bandicoot literally on our doorstep. It seemed incredibly calm and docile, but on closer inspection we came to the conclusion that it was either very old or sick, and quite possibly blind. It sauntered away after a little while, but I still find myself wondering if we could, or should, have done something to help it.

I thought bandicoot was a made up creature for the game, I recently found out that they are in fact, very real animals. And absolutely adorable ❤
