\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had some great news when I woke up this morning, the snow had pretty much vanished due to the overnight rain.\u00a0 I am not going to lie, I was quite happy to have winter postponed for a little bit.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Mother Nature is cruel and decided only to postpone winter for a few hours.\u00a0 The snow was back by lunch and it has been snowing since.\u00a0 This is my way of saying that we are heading to Australia today to learn about the Bandicoot.\u00a0 It is unfortunate that Wild Facts is my only reprieve from the nasty winter weather. I am going to go and pack up my shorts and then we are headed to the sunny south.<\/p>\n

The Bandicoot is a small marsupial found throughout Australia.\u00a0 I am starting to think that every animal in Australia is a marsupial.\u00a0 For the new readers, a marsupial, is an animal that puts their young into a pouch with the most famous example being the kangaroo.\u00a0 Anyway, back to this tiny critter of the south.\u00a0 Some of you may not find the Bandicoot that cute (or should I say “Coot”) since it has a sort-of rat-like appearance.\u00a0\u00a0 Don’t let this rodent appearance fool you though since this little marsupial is more closely related to rabbits than rats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bandicoot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pregnant women everywhere are going to be envious of this next little fact.\u00a0 The Bandicoot has one of the shortest gestation periods of all mammals, giving birth only 12 days after conception.\u00a0 Just imagine only being pregnant for two weeks.\u00a0 Heck, that isn’t even long enough to finish your Lamaze Classes.\u00a0 Once the babies are born though the Bandicoot will keep them in her pouch until they are strong enough to survive the harsh world on their own.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, 7 of the 11 Bandicoot species are facing some tough times right now and are classed as either critically endangered or extinct.\u00a0 Not exactly the lists I would want to be on.\u00a0 The usual culprits are causing this rapid decline in Bandicoot populations including habitat destruction and introduction of exotic animals.\u00a0 Originally these little critters only had to be on the look out for owls, quolls and dingos.\u00a0 Since the European settlers arrived they also have to worry about foxes, dogs and house cats.<\/p>\n

Well that is the “Crash” course on Bandicoots so I hope you enjoyed our little trip to the beautiful island of Australia.\u00a0 I assume not everyone will understand the “Crash” pun but if you have kids than you most likely know who Crash Bandicoot is.\u00a0 Have a great day!!<\/p>\n
