Very Overloaded Bandicoot
A very overloaded Bandicoot feeding in our garden, Albany, Western Australia !
Sigma 150 500mm. This fellow feeds outside the office window.
The short-nosed bandicoots (genus Isoodon) are members of the order Peramelemorphia. They can be found in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and in Albany, Western Australia
BREEDING
Though breeding can take place throughout the year, winter is not a favoured time.
A mature female (5 months +) has 8 teats in a backward facing pouch,but usually only rears two or three young.
In ideal weather and habitat (e.g. supply of food) the female can have babies every seven weeks.
The young bandicoots suckle for eight weeks and then a couple of weeks later become independent
