Head—body 17.3-22.6 cm, tail 8.1-10.6 cm; weight 165-300 g. Females, unusually for peramelids,slightly larger (9-3% heavier) than males. Measurements are for populations on Bernier and Dorre islands; mainland animals (now extinct) were larger. Dorsal fur is gray to fawn-gray, with alternating dark and pale bars running down flanks, while ventralfur, like feet, is white. Ears are long and held erect, and base of tail is sometimes thickened by fat storage. Although similar in appearance to recently extinct Desert Bandicoot, present species has more gray tones in the pelage, a shortertail, and less hairy feet than its desert-dwelling relative.

, and dense forest vegetation in riparian areas. Nest constructed from grass or other locally sourced materials within deep depression that is dug under cover of dense shrubs; only one opening may be present, but flimsy construction of nest allows animals to burst through at any point if disturbed.

Insects, other invertebrates, seeds, fruits, and occasionally small vertebrates are eaten, shifts between seasons probably reflecting changes in food availability. Like other peramelids,this species obtainsits food on orjust below the ground surface, digging conical holes to 20-25 cm to obtain buried prey.

|
||
Females on Bernier and Dorre carry young in wetter winter months between March and October, with breeding apparently initiated by first substantial rains in autumn. Litter size is 1-3 (average 1-8), larger females carrying largest litters. Females produce at least two litters per breeding season, the newly born young attaching to nipples that have not been recently used; eight nipples are present, arranged in a circular pattern. Females achieve sexual maturity at 3-5 months, with maturity in males delayed by a further month. Recruitment after pouch life into adult population is low (0-16-7%), suggesting that post-weaning mortality rates are high. Reproductive events were probably similar in mainland populations of this bandicoot, although some accounts describelitters of 1-4 young being produced between May and August.

Recaptures of animals made during live-trapping studies on Bernier and Dorre islands show that movements over eleven days averaged 185 m for females and 226 m for males. Overnight movements of more than 1 km also have been recorded, but are exceptional. Home range areas appear to vary with population density: at low density home ranges average 14-2 ha for males and 6-2 ha for females, whereas at high density the respective averages are 2-5 ha and 1-4 ha. There is some evidence that home ranges of males overlap more than do those of females. It is not certain how animals maintain their home ranges but, as with most peramelids, individuals nest and forage separately, and fight vigorously if placed in confinement with each other. Longevity of more than four years has been recorded in island populations.

is restricted to a small fraction ofits former range, which included Dirk Hartog and Faure islands, and extended widely through southern, central, and north-western arid areas of Western Australia. Current population probably fewer than 10,000 mature individuals: combined total of perhaps c.5000 on Bernier and Dorre islands, where considered abundant and numbers appear to be stable; reintroduced populations include minimum of 200 individuals in Heirisson Prong, more than 20 on Faure, and c.40 in Arid Recovery. Declines were probably driven by several interacting processes, including loss and conversion of habitat for agricultural or pastoral usage, changed fire regimes, disease, competition with feral herbivores and, perhaps most importantly, predation by feral cats (Felis catus) and Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Despite its gloomy status, the very few sites that now support this bandicoot are protected from predators (three sites in Western Australia are offshore islands; the site in South Australia is a predator-free reserve). All sites are regularly monitored and managed and, in consequence, numbers have increased. Plans are being made to remove the feral cat from several islands off the coast of Western Australia, and this would allow further translocations to take place. Present island populations are not necessarily problemfree. On Bernier, for example, an unknown virus has emerged that causes sometimes fatal carcinomas and papillomas, and genetic diversity is likely to be low. Nonetheless, increases in population size and recognition that this peramelid is not subject to extreme fluctuations in population size have led to recent proposals that the species be more correctly listed as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List.
