The Long-nosed Bandicoot (Perameles nasuta), a unique mammal from the Peramelidae family, thrives across Australia and New Guinea. These fascinating nocturnal marsupials inhabit diverse environments including forests, grasslands, and even urban edges. They are adept at digging shallow burrows and foraging in moist, well-vegetated areas. A distinctive feature is their backward-facing pouch, which prevents soil from entering while digging. Their constant digging for insects significantly contributes to soil health, naturally aerating and mixing it.
