Two Eastern barred bandicoot young have emerged from their burrow at Werribee Open Range Zoo. The Eastern barred bandicoot, which are now listed as extinct in the wild, begin to separate from their mothers at 75-80 days old, when they establish separate nests to their mothers’. Once they have separated and weigh above 240g, keepers will transfer them into their own habitats – either into reintroduction sites or into regional breeding programs. www.7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS | 7NEWS Melbourne

We’ve been working with our conservation partners to create a plan for the recovery of the Critically Endangered Eastern Barred Bandicoot. Once widespread across the grassy woodlands of western Victoria and South Australia, by 1988 only 200 were thought to be left in the wild, making this little bandicoot one of Australia’s most endangered species. Since 1991 Zoos Victoria has bred more than 650 bandicoots, with two successful releases on protected sites including Churchill Island and Phillip Is

Who doesn’t love a cuddle puddle? These cuties are Eastern barred bandicoots. They’re a threatened Tasmanian native species and are at major risk from roaming cats and dogs off leads. These guys came in a couple of days ago after their mum was scared off by a dog. When the mum didn’t come back the dog owners scooped them up and bought them to us. They’re very lively and are all eating like champions! Bandicoots are extremely precocial and it won’t be long before they’re be back in the wild where

Just two years ago, Eastern Barred Bandicoot were released at the regenerative sheep farm of Tiverton in Victoria’s West. The suitable predator-free habitat at Tiverton enabled the bandicoot to breed and thrive. This led to the species being downlisted from critically endangered to endangered for the first time in Australian history. This is the incredible story of how a sheep farm become a threatened species sanctuary with the help of @Odonata_Foundation and how this regenerative partnership wi

From Extinct in the Wild to thriving - ten years on. In 2015, Eastern barred bandicoots were released on Churchill Island in a bold move to save the species. A decade later, they’re not only surviving, they’re spreading across Churchill, French Island and Milawul (Phillip Island), with sightings in places like Ventnor, Smiths Beach and Rhyll. 'Moving the Eastern barred bandicoots to island safe havens without foxes... has effectively given them a lifeline.' - Dr Duncan Sutherland, Senior Scienti

Not all Eastern Barred Bandicoots face the same threats. 🦡 While the Victorian Eastern Barred Bandicoot was once extinct in the wild on mainland Australia, their Tasmanian cousins tell a different story. The Tasmanian subspecies, while experiencing declining numbers, isn't facing the same immediate extinction risk as its Victorian neighbours. This highlights an important reality in conservation: the same species can face vastly different challenges depending on location, habitat conditions, and
