A bandicoot is a common name for any of about 20 species of small to medium-sized, terrestrial marsupial omnivores in the order Peramelemorphia. The word bandicoot is an anglicised form of the Telugu word pandi-kokku, (loosely, pig - rat ) which originally referred to the unrelated Indian Bandicoot Rat. The other two species of peramelemorphs are the bilbies .~Retrieved From Wikipedia!~
