Southern Brown Bandicoot

Isoodon obesulus

Description:

Bandicoots were in danger of becoming extinct in Western Australia in many areas, because foxes and feral cats hunted them. Since the Department of Environment and Conservation has started programs to get rid of these predators, the bandicoot populations have increased. Bandicoots now live in many suburbs. Their natural enemies are owls, hawks, snakes and large lizards like monitors.
