Chaeropus ecaudatus the Southern Pig–footed Bandicoot

Pig–footed bandicoots (genus Chaeropus) were so called because of their hooflike forefeet. They had relatively slender legs compared to other bandicoots, allowing them to move quickly through the landscape.

Although initially designated as a single species, Chaeropus yirratji was split from C. ecaudatus in 2019 on the basis of morphological differences. Both species became extinct by the 1950s due to habitat loss from land clearing for agriculture and predation from cats and foxes.

†Pig-footed Bandicoots (Chaeropus)

Pig-footed bandicoots were recently considered separate to all other bandicoots. Two similar species are recognized, varying in historical ranges and morphology of dentition and feet. Their fur ranged from uniform grey-brown to russet and fawn tones, helping them camouflage into arid sandy desert and grassland. From 32 to 40cms long, they measured up similarly to a small rabbit.

Chaeropus, uniquely, had feet like tiny hooves. They walked on only two functional toes of the forefeet, and one toe of the hind-foot, the rest being vestigial. They were known to run very fast, with a quick bounding gait. Though reported to eat insects, it’s thought they were largely herbivorous.

The Southern pig-footed bandicoot, C. ecaudatus, occurred through desert shrub-lands in the lower part of South Australia extending into Western Australia. C. yirratji, the Northern pig-footed bandicoot, inhabited grassland and sandy desert in central Australia and WA.

Both species were never prolific according to Indigenous oral tradition. However, they were in serious decline by the 19th century and were extinct less than 150 years after European description. Foxes were not yet established in their ranges, and though some cats were, the cessation of thousands of years traditional burning practices is thought to have been the major contributor to their extinction. Burning provided a patchwork of new growth on which to feed alongside recovered zones of shelter. Introduction of sheep and cattle also changed the landscape dramatically, further decimating crucial food sources of native animals.

SSS 40 (Peramelemorphia)

So I felt like experimenting with reverse gradients (unlike what I did for the New Years piece) and figured "Why not draw something nocturnal so the correction layer would like something taken from a night-vision camera?" And that is how I decided to draw a Greater Bilby (left) and Long-Nosed Bandicoot (right), so yeah...

Photos from the Healesville Sanctuary in Victoria. I loved this bushland refuge and was glad to escape the city for a day to see the Victorian countryside. They have an amazing program showcasing the parrots and birds of prey of Australia, including the wedge-tailed eagle!

1. One of my favorite mammals ever, the echidna (Tachyglossus).

2. A pic of the elusive platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus). This monotreme is in a constant state of motion, swimming and hunting. Capturing pictures was hard! 

3. A denizen of the nocturnal exhibit, the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula). 

4. Another very special marsupial, the greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis). 

5. The skull of Thylacoleo, a rather derpy Pleistocene mammal known as the marsupial lion. 

6. An Aboriginal rendition of the platypus. Fun fact: my dad was unfamiliar with the didgeridoo and thus made the comment “I don’t get why they’re playing this goofy music”...

7. All aboard this adorable echidna train! (I love echidnas ok don’t judge.)

8. I got more quality hangout time with my favorite marsupial, the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisi). This one was named Joey! I also got to meet a little bab Tassie devil. 

9. Joey’s keeper was near the enclosure so he was very hopeful for more food. Healesville Sanctuary and Zoos Victoria are doing important work building an insurance population in Australia as the Tasmanian wild population is being ravaged by a tumor disease that spreads like a virus, and it is always fatal. The official program of the Australian government can be found here.

The greater bilby, often referred to simply as the bilby since the lesser bilby became extinct in the 1950s, is an Australian species of nocturnal omnivorous animal in the order Peramelemorphia. Other vernacular names include dalgyte, pinkie, or rabbit-eared bandicoot. Greater bilbies live in arid parts of northwestern and central Australia.

I want to pet them

In which Opal is turned into a mutant bilby due to a freak experiment gone wrong. She initially appears to take the drastic change well, far better than her time wielding spouses. However, it suddenly hits that their disdain for bandicoots/the order Peramelemorphia is... immense, to say the least. A moment of panic ensues.

Bilbies are the only extant member of Thylacomyidae in the order Peramelemorphia, though their taxonomy has changed over the years. #FaunaFocus #Bilby #Bilbies

Bilbies are the only extant member of Thylacomyidae in the order Peramelemorphia, though their taxonomy has changed over the years. Bilbies are the only extant member of Thylacomyidae in the order Peramelemorphia after yallaras, or lesser bilbies (Macrotis leucura) became extinct. The placement of bilbies within the Peramelemorphia order has changed in recent years. Vaughan (1978) and Groves and…

Anthro-Animal Universe: Large Anthros

This post focuses on how many varieties of the large anthros there might be in Anthro-Animal Universe. The mole-mice are already covered in another post, so they won’t be covered here.

I grouped similar animals together. The possums and opossums are grouped together. The bilbies and bandicoots are grouped with the rabbits, hares, and pikas. The quolls, Tasmanian devils, numbats, and thylacines are grouped with the Carnivora - since they’re all dog-like and/or cat-like in design. The hyraxes and wombats are grouped with Rodentia, due to similarity in design.

All are generous estimations, since all are rounded up.

Carnivora Group (including quolls, Tasmanian devils, numbats, thylacines; excluding bears, red pandas, coatis, raccoons, kinkajous, olingos, wolverines, skunks, seals, walruses): about 400 dog breeds, about 100 cat breeds, about 250 other species [about 750 varieties overall]

Rodentia Group (including hyraxes, wombats; excluding mice, voles, rats, gerbils, hamsters, lemmings, dormice, porcupines, birch mice, jumping mice, jerboas, spiny rats, naked mole rats, blesmols, kangaroo rats, porcupines, flying squirrels, beavers): about 100 hyrax subspecies, about 10 wombat species, about 700 species/subspecies [about 810 varieties overall]

Lagomorpha/Peramelemorphia Group (excluding New Guinean spiny bandicoots): about twenty Peramelemorphia species, about 100 Lagomorpha species [about 120 varieties overall]

Didelphimorphia/Diprotodontia Group (excluding fat-tailed mouse opossums, water opossums, woolly opossums, mouse opossums, gracile opossums, Chacoan pygmy opossums, Patagonian opossums, slender opossums, short-tailed opossums, gliders, bettongs, potoroos, rat-kangaroos, brushtail possums, kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, pygmy possums, honey possums, feather-tailed possums, wombats, koalas): about 30 Phalangeridae species, about 20 Petauridae species, about 25 Pseudocheiridae species, about 25 Didelphimorphia species [about 100 varieties overall]

That’s about 1800 large anthro varieties overall. While reproduction between the four groups is impossible, all reproduction is possible within the group. As such, there are plenty of dog-cat hybrids. Fur colours also range from shades of brown, shades of grey, or vibrant colours. So the possibilities are endless.

Overpopulation isn’t as big of an issue in that universe, as the anthro-animals have great regard for the environment. Even what we might think of as “big cities” are still surround by plenty of flora, and green energy (along with crystal energy) is used in place of fossil fuels.

There are about twenty times as much mole-mice as there are large anthros. Sapient birds and bats are each about a hundred times as populous as the large anthros. Horses are about 75% as populous as large anthros. Monkeys are about 80% as populous as large anthros. Non-monkey primates are about five times as populous as large anthros. Large bears are about twice as populous as large anthros, while raccoon-bears are about four times as populous as large anthros. Kangaroos, wallabies, and wallaroos are about half as populous as large anthros.

The Bandicoot

Scientific name:

Perameles

Taxonomic Classification:

Kingdom:    Animalia

Phylum:    Chordata

Class:    Mammalia

Order:    Peramelemorphia

Family:    Peramelidae

Nutritional Requirement:

The Bandicoot will eat both plant and animal matter and will primarily feed on insects that Bandicoot will hunt by digging up the ground. Bandicoot has also been known to eat fruits, berries, nuts, seeds, eggs and even small rodents when they are a desperate need for food.

Growth and development:

Bandicoot is marsupials, this means that young Bandicoot will spend most of its early life in its mother's nursing pouch. The Bandicoot will nurse from its mother until it reaches full strength and a full size of 28cm - 81cm with a weight 0.2kg - 1.6kg. The Bandicoot will live 3-7 years

Behavior:

The Bandicoot is primarily solitary and nocturnal. This means the Bandicoot will spend it’s daylight hours hiding in bushlands and creek beds and then it will spend its nighttime hours hunting for food. Due to Bandicoot’s small size, it has a large number of predators including large birds, foxes, snakes, wildcats, and humans. This large selections of predators for the Bandicoot have played a part in the Bandicoot endangered status.

Reproduction:

Bandicoots are mainly solitary creature but they will meet up with other Bandicoots in order to mate. Bandicoot’s don’t have any specific mating season and they have the shortest gestation period of any mammal with the young being born just 12 days after conception. A female with normally give birth to a litter of 3-6 young and she will nurse them in her pouch until they are strong.

Evolutionary Origins:

Bandicoots are closely related to rats.

Habitat:

Found in the Australian wilderness

Fun Fact:

The name bandicoot is taken from the term ‘pandi-kokku’ which means ‘pig-rat’ in Telugu, an Indian language
