Eastern barred bandicoots’ numbers are decreasing today, and currently these animals are classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List. The mainland subspecies of Eastern Barred Bandicoot faced near-extinction in the late 1980s due to predation by foxes and feral cats, habitat loss, and impacts from livestock grazing. Eastern Barred Bandicoots were once widespread across the grasslands and grassy woodlands of western Victoria, extending into the south-east corner of South Australia. The eastern barred bandicoot is the second bandicoot included in this priority list. They live a nocturnal, solitary life in grasslands that have dense tussocks and low scrub for shelter. Once common across Victoriaâs volcanic plains and grasslands, the Eastern Barred Bandicoot (Perameles gunnii) mainland species is now one of Australiaâs most endangered species and is considered extinct in the wild.
The mainland subspecies of the Eastern barred bandicoot is quite rare in Victoria; its range is limited to the basalt plains, stretching from near the South Australian border to the Melbourne area. The animal is so called because of its amazing similarity with large Indian ‘pig rat’ rodents. A new population will shortly be established on French Island.
The bandicoot is able to move quite fast, galloping as well as making long leaps of up to one meter. And when it finally finds food, it emits a loud, grunting sound, similar to that of a piglet. 1997).

A female eastern barred bandicoot. Eastern Barred Bandicoot (Parameles gunnii)About the Species Eastern barred bandicoots are small marsupials native to Australia and Tasmania. Gestation period in this species is one of the shortest among mammals – only 12 days. The Eastern Barred Bandicoot is restricted to south-eastern Australia. As the names suggests, it has 3-4 pale bars across its hindquarters. The Eastern Barred Bandicoot dig a davit in the ground and use native grasses to create a roof over the top. The Eastern Barred Bandicoot Perameles gunnii (mainland form, un-named subspecies) is a Critical Weight Range species (Johnson and Isaac 2009) weighing <1 kg.

Bandicoots habitat includes tall dense grass and shrub cover; most are found near a water supply. The biggest threat to the population of this Near Threatened species is loss of habitat: nearly 99% of the original habitat of mainland subspecies has been destroyed and modified.
Linked to the bandicootâs decline is the use for farming and consequent loss of over 99% of its native grassland habitat. However, during the first week after leaving the pouch, juveniles can live in the nest with their mother. Animals are omnivorous, consuming a wide variety of invertebrates, some plant matter and, occasionally, small vertebrates. The decline of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot is primarily due to loss of habitat and threat from foxes. Like so many of Australiaâs small mammals, key threats include predation by red foxes and fer⦠Their diet consists of corbies, cockchafers and many other insects, which are considered pests by farmers because of eating lawns and destroying crops to feed on the roots: eating these insects, Eastern barred bandicoots help control populations of these species and thus benefit farmers. 2048x2048px 5.76 MB.

Eastern Barred Bandicoots were once widespread across the grasslands and woodlands of western Victoria and South Australia. The project also receives substantial support from the National Landcare Program, Zoos Victoria, and private philanthropy. To combat low genetic diversity within this population, gene pool mixing with Tasmanian animals has been trialled at Mount Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre.
It was discovered on a captive bred western barred bandicoot in 1999. The Eastern barred bandicoots first breed at about 4 months old. The eastern barred bandicoot (Perameles gunnii ) is a small, rabbit-sized marsupial native to Tasmania and Victoria, southeastern Australia.

Once the Eastern barred bandicoot was widespread and abundant throughout Victoria’s volcanic plains and grasslands. The mainland subspecies of Eastern Barred Bandicoot, Perameles gunnii, is listed as extinct in the wild. This funding is going towards supporting the management of four reintroduction sites including predator fences, control of feral animals and weed control. Eastern Barred Bandicoots are compact marsupials with long snouts and ears.

Eastern Barred Bandicoots rest in a shallow, grass lined nest during the day and come out to forage at night on a variety of invertebrates, such as worms, grubs and beetles. Phone: 03 5761 1611
The eastern barred bandicoot is most closely related to the other species of bandicoot in its genus, of which only two species are still extant today. Though the Tasmanian subspecies is faring well, the Australian populations of bandicoots have dwindled due to predatory red foxes and habitat loss. Open: 8.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, Address: 609 Burwood Hwy, Knoxfield 3180
They also feed upon grubs, earthworms, insect larvae and slugs.

The species is native to southeastern Australia, namely, Tasmania and Victoria, where these animals form two distinct populations, which can be considered as separate subspecies. It has large, prominent ears.

Key Findings . They live a solitary, secretive life foraging in open grasslands at night and resting in a shallow, cryptic nest during the day, usually in areas containing trees or shrubs. Conserving Victoria's threatened species takes a collaborative approach.
There has been a strong volunteer effort to carry out work on these properties, run by Conservation Volunteers Australia and Mount Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre. A fourth almost 1000 ha site near Mortlake is currently being prepared. Colour varies from yellowish-brown above to grey underneath and a light colour on upper side of tail. At night, Eastern Barred Bandicoots emerge from nests built in dense tussock grasses and scrub to forage for insects by ⦠Established in 1964, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has evolved to become the worldâs most comprehensive information source on the global conservation status of animal, fungi and plant species.
The western barred bandicoot is now listed nationally as endangered, with less than 3000 left in the wild. Open: 8.30am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday, Address: 89 Sydney Rd, Benalla 3672
Another threat to is a Papilloma wart virus. The animal is so called due to the faint stripes, running across its hindquarters. We are committed to genuinely partner, and meaningfully
The Eastern Barred Bandicoot originally occurred in native grasslands and grassy woodlands in Tasmaniaâs Midlands. Endemic only to Australia, this insectivorous marsupial is now among the most endangered species of the continent, believed to be extinct in the wild. A successful captive breeding program has allowed new, reintroduced populations to be established and secured in three fenced, feral predator free sites (Mt Rothwell, Woodlands and Hamilton) within their original range, totalling about 805 ha. During the daytime hours, they rest in their nests, which are simply shallow recesses in the ground, covered with domes of grass. These surviving relatives are the western barred bandicoot (P. bougainville) and the Long-nosed Bandicoot (P. nastua).
