The Northern Brown Bandicoot

We spotted this little Bandicoot while we were walking along the bushland at Libra Lakes, this little brown Aussie battler is clinging on its battle for survival in Perth's ever-expanding suburban sprawl.
The Quenda, also known as the northern brown bandicoot are maintaining numbers in some Perth suburbs
Quendas are a rabbit-sized native Australian digging marsupial that plays an important role in the health of bushland by improving soil aeration, aiding water penetration, dispersing beneficial fungi and even helping to reduce fire fuel loads.
But urbanisation has seen numbers decline in some areas in recent years.
