There are very few to no negative affects on humans.
The lifespan of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot is less than 3 years. Cats and dogs kill bandicoots, and may cause significant mortality in some populations. Cats carry the disease Toxoplasmosis, which can be transmitted to Eastern Barred Bandicoots and is often fatal. Molecular investigation indicates that the mainland and Tasmanian populations of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot are as distinct genetically as defined sub-species.
Perception Channels: tactile ; chemical
The wild population of Perameles gunnii remains critically endangered and is estimated at between 300 and 400 animals. The wild population of the Eastern Barred Bandicoot has declined due to grazing by Eastern Grey Kangaroos, introduction of predators, and extensive habitat alteration. This has occured over 99% of native grasslands in which the species formerly occured. The introduction of predators, particularly cats and foxes, is now a direct threat to all populations of bandicoots and bilbies. Use of pesticides has contributed to the decline in numbers. Accidents with motor vehicles also play a part. The current recovery team for the Eastern Barred Bandicoot comprises representatives from the Department of Natural Resources and Enviornment, Zoological Parks and Gardens Board of Victoria. This group oversees a field and a captive management group. This group has maintained up to 18 breeding pairs of bandicoots maintained in six sub-populations. The captive program has continued to be productive with positive growth rates and 95.6% of wild source gene diversity retained.
US Federal List: endangered
CITES: appendix i
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: near threatened
Perameles gunnii is in such danger of extiction now that the benefit to humans is slim to none. They do in fact eat beetles, grubs, and similar invertebrates that can potentially harm crops and fields
The Eastern Barred Bandicoot eats small vertebrates, a variety of invertebrates, and some vegetation. Their main diet, however, consists of invertebrates from the soil. They use their well developed sense of smell to locate food. They then use strong claws and their long slender nose to dig small conical holes in the ground from which their food is extracted. Food items include root-eating grubs, cockchafers, and corbies. They also feed on earthworms, beetles, and some plant material such as roots and berries. A study in Australia reported a high number of berries in the Eastern Barred Bandicoot's diet. Perameles gunnii is nocturnal. After dusk it emerges from its nest and immediately begins foraging for food.
Perameles gunnii, the Eastern Barred Bandicoot, is restricted to Australia and Tasmania. The species once lived between Melbourne and the South Australian border and in the north and east of Tasmania. Because of serious decline in their population, their number on the continent of Australia is now limited, but the survival rate in Tasmania is much higher.
Biogeographic Regions: australian (Native )
Average lifespan
Status: captivity: 3.0 years.
Perameles gunni has a head and body length of up to 340 mm. The skull is flattened and the rostrum is very long. The head is elongated and slender, and it tapers to a pink nose. The Eastern Barred Bandicoot has a whiskered muzzle and large, prominent ears, similar to those of a rabbit. Its fur is greyish brown and very soft, while the torso and hindquarters bear the characteristic pale bars or stripes that give the marsupial its name. The Eastern Barred Bandicoot is easily distinguishable from the Brown Bandicoot because the Brown Bandicoot lacks stripes.
The underside of the animal is creamy white. The tail is around 100 mm long and is also creamy white. It is not prehensile. Strong claws are attached to the animals hands and feet. The dental formula for the Eastern Barred Bandicoot is 4/3, 1/1, 3/3, 4/4.
Females have a pouch.
Average mass: 640 g.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Average mass: 766 g.
Average basal metabolic rate: 1.902 W.
The Eastern Barred Bandicoot is found in the grasslands and grassy woodland of Australia and Tasmania. Bandicoots habitat includes tall dense grass and shrub cover; most are found near a water supply. Many have adapted to living in tree shelter belts, bush blocks, and on farms where they can hide from predators. Many have found their way into gardens, cemetaries, and car dumps.
Terrestrial Biomes: savanna or grassland
The reproductive rate for Perameles gunnii is very high. But the mortality rate is also extremely high, particularly among juveniles. Bandicoots are solitary animals and only mix with other bandicoots when breeding. In Tasmania, young are born between late May and December. Females may begin breeding around the age of 3 months. A female may produce as many as 3-4 litters during a breeding season. The common litter size is 1-4 young. This means that a female barred bandicoot has the reproducitve capacity of producing up to nearly 16 young in one breeding season. Young remain in the mother's pouch for about 55 days. The young generally remain with the mother in the nest for a week or two after they leave the pouch. This is the only time that one will find an Eastern Barred Bandicoot sharing its nest. The home range for males is approximately 100 acres ( 40 hectares ), and 75 acres ( 30 hectares ) for females. These territories do overlap.
Key Reproductive Features: gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual

Der Tasmanische Langnasenbeutler (Perameles gunnii) ist ein Beuteltier aus der Familie Eigentliche Nasenbeutler, das auf Tasmanien und auf dem australischen Festland vorkommt.
Die Art besitzt spitze Ohren und eine lange Schnauze, der Unterleib wirkt kompakt. Das Fell ist auf der Oberseite sandbraun bis grau, am Bauch sowie an den Beinen heller bis weißlich gefärbt. Kennzeichnend für die Tiere sind mehrere helle Bänder auf dem Hinterleib.[1] Die Nasenspitze ist rosa und fast nackt. Der Tasmanische Nasenbeutler erreicht eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 27 bis 35 cm, eine Schwanzlänge von 7 bis 11 cm und ein Gewicht von 0,5 bis 1,5 kg.[1]
Der Tasmanische Nasenbeutler lebt heute vorwiegend im östlichen und nördlichen Tasmanien. Er hatte ursprünglich ein größeres Verbreitungsgebiet im Südosten Australiens. Aufgrund mehrerer ungünstiger Faktoren starb diese Population zeitweilig aus. In den letzten Jahren wurde die Art an verschiedenen Stellen im Bundesstaat Victoria wiedereingeführt.[2]
Als Habitat dienen Grasflächen und baumbestandene Gebiete mit Gras als Untervegetation.[2]
Die einzelnen Tiere leben außerhalb der Paarungszeit allein. Sie sind vorwiegend nachtaktiv und ruhen in selbstgebauten Nestern aus Gras, Blättern und Zweigen, die auf dem Boden im Schutz einer dichten Vegetation platziert werden. Manchmal werden verlassene Kaninchenbaue als Versteck genutzt.[1] Die durchschnittliche Reviergröße ist 40 Hektar für Männchen und 30 Hektar für Weibchen. Die Reviere können sich überlappen doch jedes Nest wird nur von einem erwachsenen Exemplar genutzt.[3][1] Der Tasmanische Nasenbeutler gräbt mit seinen Klauen und der spitzen Schnauze im Erdreich auf der Suche nach Regenwürmern, Käfern, Insektenlarven und anderen Wirbellosen. Er frisst auch Beeren, Wurzeln, Getreide und andere Pflanzenteile.[1]
Weibchen sind pro Jahr bis zu vier Mal paarungsbereit. Auf Tasmanien erfolgt die Fortpflanzung zwischen Ende Mai und Dezember. Nach etwa 12 Tagen Trächtigkeit werden meist zwei Jungtiere geboren, selten bis zu vier Junge.[3] Diese klettern in den Beutel der Mutter, wo sie 55 bis 60 Tage verbleiben. Nach dem Verlassen des Beutels werden sie noch etwa eine Woche gesäugt.[3] Bei Erreichen der Geschlechtsreife sind die Tiere etwa vier Monate alt.[1]
Der Tasmanische Nasenbeutler kann drei Jahre alt werden.[3]
Nach Ankunft der Europäer in Australien verschlechterte sich die Situation des Tasmanischen Nasenbeutlers rapide. Die ursprünglichen Grasflächen wurden nun als Weide für Schafe genutzt oder zu Ackerland umgestaltet. Dadurch verlor die Art fast 99 % ihres ursprünglichen Lebensraums.[1] Neben dem schon vorhandenen Dingo kamen neue Feinde in Form von Hauskatzen und Füchsen hinzu. Eingeführte Kaninchen stellten eine neue Konkurrenz dar.[2]
Zur Erhaltung der Art auf dem Festland wurden Zuchtprogramme gestartet und mehrere Exemplare in die Natur entlassen. Trotzdem besteht die Population in Victoria nur aus wenigen hundert Tieren. Auf Tasmanien kommt der Tasmanische Nasenbeutler noch recht häufig vor. Die IUCN listet den Gesamtbestand deshalb in der Vorwarnliste (Near Threatened).[2]

The eastern barred bandicoot (Perameles gunnii) is a nocturnal, rabbit-sized marsupial endemic to southeastern Australia, being native to the island of Tasmania and mainland Victoria. It is one of three surviving bandicoot species in the genus Perameles. It is distinguishable from its partially-sympatric congener – the long-nosed bandicoot – via three or four dark horizontal bars found on its rump.[2] In Tasmania, it is relatively abundant. The mainland population in Victoria is struggling and is subject to ongoing conservation endeavors.
The eastern barred bandicoot[3] weighs less than 2 kg (4.4 lb) and has a short tail and three to four whitish bars across the rump.[2] The eastern barred bandicoot has two separated populations, one on the mainland of Australia and one on the island of Tasmania. The Tasmanian form is somewhat larger than the mainland form as the average adult mass is 750 g in Victoria and 1,000 g in Tasmania.[4] It lives for just two to three years and is not gregarious.[2] Males occupy large home ranges compared to females and only consort with females for mating.
This species is nocturnal. It emerges from its nest at dusk to forage for a variety of invertebrates including crickets, beetles and earthworms. During the day it rests in a grass-lined nest. When foraging, it uses its long nose to probe deep into the soil and then digs eagerly when it locates food. Females have 8 nipples and can produce a maximum of 5 young in one litter with an average of 2 to 3 young. Gestation lasts just 12 days — this is one of the shortest gestation periods of any mammal. Young are weaned at 55 days and emerged juveniles remain dependent upon the mother and forage with her until day 86. Given ideal conditions, females can have up to five litters per year although reproduction becomes depressed in summer and ceases altogether in times of drought.[2]
The eastern barred bandicoot was once distributed across the basalt plains of southwest Victoria, and in Tasmania.[2] Due to predation by introduced foxes and cats, along with land-clearing for farming practices, the Victorian subspecies is critically endangered. Since 1989, eight reintroduction sites have been established across the bandicoot's former range. The conservation of eastern barred bandicoots in Victoria now depends upon the success of captive breeding and reintroduction programs. Keys to this conservation plan include maintaining an insurance population in captivity, conducting research to improve breeding and reintroduction success and increasing community awareness and support for this rare marsupial.[5]
A management plan, developed in 1987 and revised in 1989, recommended the first reintroduction of the eastern barred bandicoot in Victoria at Woodlands Historic Park, 20 km (12 mi) northwest of Melbourne. Animals were translocated from the last remaining free-ranging mainland population in Hamilton, western Victoria to captive breeding facilities at Woodlands to establish a population in 1988. The captive-bred offspring formed the basis for reintroductions into the Nature Reserve, known as the Back Paddock, a 400-ha section of the park with a predator-resistant fence to keep out feral predators.[6]
Populations at four sites are now extinct (Floating Islands Nature Reserve, Lanark, Cobra Killuc Wildlife Reserve and Lake Goldsmith Nature Reserve), functionally extinct at Woodlands Historic park, declining at Mooramong and increasing at Hamilton Community Parklands and Mount Rothwell. The last remaining wild population, which was once found along the Grange Burn (a creek) in Hamilton, has also been declared extinct. The estimated population size for the Victorian eastern barred bandicoot in 2008 was 150 individuals.[2]
Eastern barred bandicoots have been successfully released on Phillip Island, French Island and Churchill Island in Victoria's Westernport.[7][8]
On 15 September 2021, Victoria's Environment Minister Lily D'Ambrosio announced that the conservation status of the Victorian species has changed from "extinct in the wild" to "endangered", as its population had jumped from 150 to 1,500 over the course of thirteen years. This was the first time in Australia's history that such a change in conservation status had been made.[9]
The Tasmanian subspecies (P. g. gunni) is vulnerable to extinction.[10] This species is more widespread than its mainland cousin because Tasmania provides large areas of suitable habitat and because the island lacks the bandicoot's main predator, the red fox.[11]
In the state of Victoria, a recovery team oversees actions aimed at conserving the Victorian subspecies. Representatives of government agencies, NGOs and private conservation groups collaborate to develop and implement actions to improve the species' outlook. Groups include Conservation Volunteers, Zoos Victoria, Parks Victoria, Mount Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre, University of Melbourne, Conservation Enterprises Unlimited, and the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).
An effective recovery tactic currently in use is the exclusion of invasive predators from populations of threatened eastern barred bandicoots through the extensive use of conservation fences. Non-native predator species that are fenced out from endangered populations include feral cats and red foxes. Another important feature of conservation fences are that they restrict the spread of infectious diseases among the few remaining animals.[12]
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. These surviving relatives are the western barred bandicoot (Perameles bougainville) and the long-nosed bandicoot (Perameles nasuta). It is also closely related to the desert bandicoot of the same genus, but this species has become extinct. There are about 20 other bandicoots in the same family, Peramelidae. They share similar features of long pointed snouts, and small ears. The bandicoots are closely related to the bilbies, which share the same order, Peramelemorphia. These are all from the infraclass Marsupialia, shared of course with other species such as koalas and kangaroos, which means they diverged from placental mammals about 100 million years ago.
The species is the basis for the popular videogame character Crash Bandicoot,[13] and was selected from a number of Tasmanian mammals by creators Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin for its appeal and relative obscurity.[14]

Le Bandicoot rayé de l'Est ou Péramèle à long nez de l'est (Perameles gunnii ; d'après l'anglais : eastern barred bandicoot) vit en Tasmanie et en Australie.
Il mesure 25 à 40 cm de long avec une queue de 7.5 à 18 cm. Il pèse 640 g. Il a un museau fin, allongé, portant des moustaches et de grandes oreilles. Son pelage, gris brun, porte sur la moitié arrière des bandes pâles qui lui ont donné son nom. Le ventre, les pieds et la queue sont blancs.
Il a disparu d'Australie-Méridionale, il en reste à peu près deux cents dans l’État de Victoria ainsi qu'une population en Tasmanie.
Il se nourrit de vers de terre qu'il repère avec son odorat développé et déterre avec ses pattes puissantes, d'autres invertébrés, de champignons et de racines.
Il est très agressif et bagarreur et vit en solitaire. Les mâles occupent un vaste territoire et cohabitent avec les femelles seulement pendant la période de reproduction. L'espèce est essentiellement nocturne. Le bandicoot émerge de son nid au crépuscule pour rechercher sa nourriture. Il se sert de son long nez pour fouiller le sol en profondeur et creuse lorsqu'il trouve de la nourriture.
La femelle a huit mamelles, mais donne rarement naissance, au bout de 11 jours de gestation, à plus de 4 ou 5 jeunes (C'est une des périodes de gestation les plus courtes parmi les mammifères). Les jeunes restent dans la poche marsupiale pendant 8 semaines.

Il bandicoot fasciato orientale (Perameles gunnii Gray, 1838) un tempo era diffuso nelle Basalt Plains del Victoria sud-occidentale, in un piccolo angolo dell'Australia Meridionale e in Tasmania[3]. È un piccolo marsupiale delle dimensioni di un coniglio, dal peso inferiore a 1 kg, con una coda corta e tre o quattro fasce biancastre lungo il groppone[3]. Vive appena due o tre anni e non è gregario[3]. I maschi occupano territori più grandi di quelli delle femmine, con le quali si incontrano solamente per accoppiarsi. Questa specie è notturna. Emerge dal nido al crepuscolo per nutrirsi di una gran varietà di invertebrati, compresi grilli, coleotteri e lombrichi[3]. Durante il giorno resta nel suo nido foderato di erba. Quando va alla ricerca di cibo utilizza il lungo naso per sondare nel suolo e appena individua la preda la dissotterra premurosamente. Le femmine sono munite di 8 capezzoli e danno alla luce nidiate composte al massimo da 5 piccoli, ma più comunemente da 2 o 3. La gestazione dura appena 12 giorni - uno dei periodi di gestazione più brevi tra tutti i mammiferi. I piccoli sono svezzati a 55 giorni, ma rimangono dipendenti dalla madre per il cibo fino all'ottantaseiesimo giorno[3]. In condizioni ideali, una femmina può avere fino a cinque nidiate l'anno, sebbene la riproduzione divenga meno frequente durante l'estate e cessi totalmente nei periodi di siccità[3].
A causa della predazione da parte delle volpi e dei gatti introdotti, nonché della deforestazione a scopo agricolo, la sottospecie del Victoria si trova in pericolo critico di estinzione. A partire dal 1989, in alcune zone dell'antico areale del bandicoot sono stati costituiti otto siti di reintroduzione. Sfortunatamente, gli animali che vivevano in quattro siti (Riserva Naturale delle Floating Islands, Lanark, Riserva Naturale di Cobra Killuc e Riserva Naturale del Lago Goldsmith) sono ora scomparsi, quelli del Parco Storico di Woodlands lo sono quasi e quelli di Mooramong sono in netta diminuzione; l'unica popolazione in aumento è quella dei Parchi della Comunità di Hamilton e del Monte Rothwell[3]. Anche l'ultima popolazione rimasta in natura, un tempo diffusa lungo il Grange Burn, un torrente nei pressi di Hamilton, è stata dichiarata estinta. La popolazione dei bandicoot fasciati orientali del Victoria è stimata sui 150 esemplari[3].
La sottospecie della Tasmania (P. g. gunnii) è considerata vulnerabile[2].

De Tasmaanse buideldas (Perameles gunnii) is een buideldas uit het geslacht der spitsneusbuideldassen (Perameles).
De bovenkant van het lichaam is grijsbruin, de onderkant is wit. Over de achterste helft van de romp lopen drie of vier brede verticale witte strepen. De flanken zijn roodachtig. De zeer korte staart is wit. De oren lijken op die van een konijn. De kop-romplengte bedraagt 270 tot 350 mm, de staartlengte 70 tot 110 mm en het gewicht 500 tot 1100 g. Tasmaanse dieren zijn zwaarder dan hun soortgenoten uit Victoria.
Deze soort is 's nachts actief en solitair, leeft op de grond en eet onder andere ongewervelden, die hij uit de bodem opgraaft.
Na een draagtijd van dertien dagen worden een tot vijf (meestal twee of drie) jongen geboren, meestal tussen juli en november, die na drie tot vijf maanden gespeend worden.
Deze soort komt voor op Tasmanië en in Victoria. Op Tasmanië komt het dier algemeen voor, maar in Victoria zijn er slechts weinig Tasmaanse buideldassen over; deze populatie wordt beschouwd als met uitsterven bedreigd.

Jamraj pręgowany[3] (Perameles gunnii) – gatunek niewielkiego ssaka z rodziny jamrajowatych (Peramelidae)[4].
Gatunek po raz pierwszy opisał w 1838 roku angielski zoolog John Edward Gray[5]. Jako miejsce typowe odłowu holotypu Gray wskazał „Van Diemen’s Land” (tj. Tasmania) w Australii[5].
Długość ciała 27–35 cm, długość ogona 7–11 cm; masa ciała 0,5–1,1 kg w Wiktorii i 0,5–1,4 kg na Tasmanii[6]. Ssak podobny do szczura: pysk wydłużony, duże uszy, kończyny krótkie z długimi pazurami. Sierść szorstka, jasnobrunatna lub szara (pasiasta). Brzuch biały.
Występuje wzdłuż południowego wybrzeża Australii w stanie Wiktoria i na Tasmanii.
Żyje w lasach i na obszarach trawiastych, jest aktywny nocą. Przeważnie żywi się bezkręgowcami i dżdżownicami, ryjąc pyskiem w ziemi, zręcznie go wykopując. Ciąża trwa ok. 11 dni i jest jednym z najkrótszych okresów występowania u ssaków. W miocie rodzi się maksymalnie 4-5 młodych. Samica ma aż 8 sutków. Młode przez 8 tygodni po porodzie przebywają w torbie lęgowej matki.
Jamraje pręgowane są agresywne, wojownicze i prowadzą samotny tryb życia. Samce jamrajów zajmują ogromne terytoria, przyłączając się do samicy tylko podczas okresu godowego.

O Bandicoot-Listrado-Oriental (Perameles gunnii), é uma espécie de marsupial da família Peramelidae, endêmica da Austrália.
Atualmente, a espécie está confinada a Tasmânia e à uma população remanescente no oeste de Victoria, próximo a Hamilton. Está extinta na Austrália do Sul.
Robinson et al. (1993) investigaram a variação genética entre as populações da Tasmânia e de Victoria, e determinaram diferenças significativas entre as duas populações, ao menos a nível de subespécie. Entretanto, Groves (2005), indicou a espécie como monotípica. As duas populações estão separadas geograficamente por 200 km de extensão (estreito de Bass) e temporalmente por cerca de 10.000 anos.

Bandikut pásavý (Perameles gunnii) je druh vačkovca z čeľade bandikutovité.
Bandikut pásavý sa vyskytuje v juhozápadnej Viktórii a Tasmánii. Obýva prirodzené trávnaté biómy a pastviny, no iba tam, kde má možnosť postaviť si na trávnatých ostrovoch v mokrinách alebo na zemi chránené hniezdo.
Dĺžka bandikuta pásavého je 27 až 35 cm. Jeho hmotnosť je približne 450 až 900 g. Je ľahko rozpoznateľný podľa pozdĺžnych pruhov na zadnej časti chrbta. Vyhrabáva dážďovky a larvy hmyzu pomocou pohyblivého chobotu a predných nôh so silnými pazúrmi. Ako u všetkých vačkovcov nasleduje pôrod veľmi skoro po oplodnení. Maličké embryá zostávajú niekoľko mesiacov v matkinom vaku a sú samostatné až po 4 - 5 mesiacoch.

Gunnis punggrävling (Perameles gunnii) är ett litet pungdjur i familjen punggrävlingar som förekommer i sydöstra Australien och på Tasmanien.
Dess förekomst på det australienska fastlandet är begränsad till några få platser i de sydvästra delarna av delstaten Victoria. Att den här punggrävlingen finns på fastlandet idag beror på att den återintroducerats.[1] Orsaken till att den en gång försvann från fastlandet var troligen predation av införda rovdjur som rödräv och att dess habitat förstördes av införda betande djur som får och kaniner.[1] Av IUCN är den rödlistad som Sårbar (VU). Den större populationen finns på Tasmanien, på fastlandet finns endast några hundra djur.[1]
Gunnis punggrävling lever på gräsmarker och i öppna skogar och har ett liknande levnadssätt som andra punggrävlingar, det vill säga den är främst nattaktiv.[2] Dess föda är varierad, bland annat insekter och andra ryggradslösa djur men även olika växtdelar.[2] Honorna är dräktiga i 12 dagar och kan få upp till 5 ungar. Oftast föds dock bara 2 eller 3 ungar.[3] När ungarna är 60 dagar gamla har de blivit avvanda. Könsmognaden nås vid 3 månaders ålder hos honor och hanar blir efter cirka 5 månader könsmogna.[3]
En fullvuxen individ har en kroppslängd (huvud och bål) på 27–35 centimeter och vikten är 0,5-1,5 kilogram. Svansen är 7–11 centimeter lång.[2] Pälsen är brunaktig till gråaktig och på den bakre delen av kroppen har djuret 3 eller 4 vita streck.[2]
Gunnis punggrävling (Perameles gunnii) är ett litet pungdjur i familjen punggrävlingar som förekommer i sydöstra Australien och på Tasmanien.
Dess förekomst på det australienska fastlandet är begränsad till några få platser i de sydvästra delarna av delstaten Victoria. Att den här punggrävlingen finns på fastlandet idag beror på att den återintroducerats. Orsaken till att den en gång försvann från fastlandet var troligen predation av införda rovdjur som rödräv och att dess habitat förstördes av införda betande djur som får och kaniner. Av IUCN är den rödlistad som Sårbar (VU). Den större populationen finns på Tasmanien, på fastlandet finns endast några hundra djur.

Тасманийский бандикут[1], или полосатый сумчатый барсук Ганна[1] (Perameles gunnii) — вид из рода длинноносых бандикутов семейства бандикутовые. Видовое название дано в честь австралийского ботаника и политика Рональда Кэмпбелла Ганна (1808—1881)[2]. Эндемик Австралии.
Эндемик юго-восточной Австралии. Обитает на большей части острова Тасмания, а также в некоторых районах штата Виктория, куда вид был повторно интродуцирован после полного вымирания. В прошлом повсеместно встречался от Мельбурна до юго-восточной части штата Южная Австралия. В настоящее время вид не встречается в Южной Австралии. В Тасмании тасманийский бандикут обитает преимущественно в северной и восточной части острова на высоте до 950 м[3].
Естественная среда обитания — открытые луга, пастбища и лесистые местности, покрытые высокой густой травой и кустарниками[3]. Обитают преимущественно вблизи источников воды[4].
Средний вес взрослой особи — около 640 г. Длина тела с головой — около 340 мм, хвоста — около 100 мм. Морда удлинённая, заострённая с розовым носом. Уши большие, заострённые. Волосяной покров на спине серовато-коричневый, мягкий, на брюхе — кремово-белый. На крестце проходят тёмные поперечные полосы. Хвост белый, хватательный[4].
Ведут наземный, одиночный образ жизни. Гнёзда устраивают на земле под кустами. Активность приходится на ночь. Питаются насекомыми, ящерицами, мелкими позвоночными, иногда растениями[5][6].
Сумка развита хорошо. Открывается назад. Потомство, как правило, появляется в период с конца мая по декабрь[4]. В потомстве от одного до трёх детёнышей[3]. Детёныши остаются при матери в её сумке в течение около 55 дней. Половая зрелость у самок наступает на третий месяц жизни. Максимальная продолжительность жизни в неволе — 6,1 лет[7].

동부가로무늬반디쿠트(학명: Perameles gunnii)는 오스트레일리아 남동부의 태즈메이니아주와 빅토리아주에 서식하는 토끼 크기의 작은 유대류의 일종이다. 긴코반디쿠트속에 속하는 3종 중의 하나이다. 몸무게는 2kg 이하이며, 동속의 긴코반디쿠트와 형태적으로 아주 비슷하게 생겼지만 둔부에 짧은 꼬리와 3-4줄의 줄무늬가 나 있는 것으로 구분할 수 있다.[3]
반디쿠트 중에서 태즈메이니아섬에 서식하는 유일한 종류로, 태즈메이니아섬 내 개체 수는 비교적 풍부하다. 그러나 오스트레일리아 본대륙에서는 개체군 붕괴를 겪고 있는 중이며 개체군을 보존하려는 움직임이 활발하다. 유명 비디오 게임 프랜차이즈인 크래쉬 밴디쿳의 주인공 크래쉬의 모델이 된 동물이다.[4]
몸무게는 2kg 이하로 가볍고, 허벅지를 따라 3-4줄 정도 되는 희끄무레한 줄무늬가 그여 있다.[3] 태즈메이니아와 호주 본대륙에 분포하는데, 본대륙에 서식하는 동부가로무늬반디쿠트는 성체가 되어도 750g 언저리인 반면 태즈메이니아에 서식하는 개체들은 평균 1,000g 정도로 덩치가 더 크다.[5] 단독생활을 하는 동물로, 수명은 약 2-3년 정도밖에 되지 않는다.[3] 수컷은 암컷에 견주어 더 넓은 세력권을 지니며, 암컷과 접촉할 때는 오로지 교미할 때뿐이다.
어스름한 저녁에 활동을 시작하여 귀뚜라미·지렁이·딱정벌레 등을 잡아먹고 사는 야행성 동물이다.[3] 낮 동안에는 풀섶 사이로 지어 놓은 보금자리에서 휴식한다. 좋은 후각을 지닌 길다란 코로 지표면을 탐색하고, 먹이가 있을 만한 곳을 파헤쳐서 발견하는 즉시 끄집어내 먹는다. 암컷은 젖꼭지가 8개이며, 한 번에 5마리까지 새끼를 포유할 수 있으나, 보통은 한 번에 2-3마리 정도를 포유한다. 포유류 가운데 임신 기간이 가장 짧은 동물로, 교미하여 수정한 지 12일 만에 새끼가 태어난다. 태어난 새끼는 55일 동안 젖을 먹으며, 86일에 어미에게서 독립한다.[3]
동부가로무늬반디쿠트는 한때 태즈메이니아섬뿐 아니라 빅토리아주 남서부에 펼쳐진 현무암 초원지대에 널리 분포했다.[3] 그러나 유럽인이 본토에 여우와 고양이를 유입시키고 농경지를 만들려는 목적으로 토지 개간을 지속적으로 추진하면서, 빅토리아에 서식하는 아종은 매우 보기 드물어지고 멸종위기에 처하게 됐다. 1989년부터는 빅토리아주 쪽에 분포하는 동부가로무늬반디쿠트를 재도입하려는 움직임이 활발하며, 약 8곳에서 재도입이 이루어졌다.
