The Family Peramelidae is a group of marsupials found primarily in Australia and Papua New Guinea. Some common synonyms used for Peramelidae include bandicoots, bilbies, and rabbit-bandicoots. These small to medium-sized mammals are noted for their long, pointed snouts, which help them sniff out food, and their powerful hind legs, which enable them to bound quickly through the brush. Bandicoots and bilbies are insectivorous, while rabbit-bandicoots feed primarily on roots and tubers. Despite the similarities between these animals, each species within the Family Peramelidae has its own unique range of characteristics and behaviors.
