Bandicoot


This is a juvenile brown bandicoot who was grabbed by a dog. He has a couple of wounds but should heal ok. Bandicoots are one the many species of animals much rarer now that cane toads have moved into the area. He will be released back into the wild in about 2 weeks. He is about half grown so is big enough to survive without his mum now.
