The northern brown bandicoot lives only on the northern and eastern coasts of Australia and nearby island like Papua w Guinea. They show a strong preference for homes in areas of low ground cover.
These solitary, nocturnal animals feed on insects, earthworms, berries and grass seeds. They use a keen sense of smell to find food lying in the open or buried underground.
Females give birth to a litter of one to seven young after a short gestation of 12 days. Sometimes when food is scarce, the mother will eat her young. Mothers have a reverse pouch that prevents being filled with soil while they are digging.
They have thick fur that is not shiny. The back fur is light brown with speckled black patterns throughout. The belly fur is solid white. Their ears are round, and their nose is short as well. They have several pairs of lower front teeth and their toes fuse together.
They build individual, waterproof nests on the ground out of hay adn twigs. The inside is hollow is large enough for just one bandicoot. Some also use hollowed-out tree trunks or abandoned rabbit dens for shelter.
