Western Barred Bandicoots can live for at least four years in the wild.
Their main native predators are raptors owls goannas and snakes. The taxonomy of the Western Barred Bandicoots is unsettled. The Western Barred Bandicoot formerly occurred over much of southern Australia in arid and semi-arid areas.
It was once widespread across southern Australia from West Australia to central New South Wales but it is now only found on Bernier Dorre and Faure islands in Shark Bay Western Australia and in captive populations on the mainland including at Barna Mia in Dryandra Woodland. Mean longevity of western barred bandicoots at Heirisson Prong was similar to that for eastern barred bandicoots in Tasmania 79 months for males and 105 months for females. Mallick et al 2000.
The high fecundity of western barred bandicoots is likely to contribute to successful population re-establishment. The impact of introduced species. The western barred bandicoot was once found across much of the arid and semi-arid zones in southern Australia but became extinct on the Australian mainland 100 years ago.
Since then it has been confined to Bernier and Dorre Islands in WA. It has also been successfully reintroduced to a. Population structure reproduction condition movements and habitat preference were assessed for western barred bandicoots Perameles bougainville on Dorre and Bernier Islands over seven trapping sessions between 1988 and 1995.
Data comes from 372 captures of bandicoots in 2535 trap-nights an average of 147 captures per 100 trap-nights.

As Eastern barred bandicoots are solitary animals and mix with other bandicoots only when breeding they may have either polygynous mating system or polygynandrous promiscuous.
Females produce 3 - 4 litters each one containing 1 - 4 babies suggesting that one female may yield up to 16 young per year. Discover How Long Eastern barred bandicoot Lives. We use the most recent data from these primary sources.

The Bandicoot has the shortest gestation period at only 12 days. The female will give birth to between 2 and 7 litters weighing about 25 grams and 13 mm long. Being a marsupial the litters will fins there way to the pouch while still attached to the umbilical cord till they are safely secured to 1 of the 8 teats.
Can breed throughout the year but mostly between July to November. Pregnancy lasts just 12 days so they can produce up to five litters of young per year with an average litter size of two. Can breed after 4 months of age.
Average lifespan is 18 months to 2 years. Males need 13-20 hectares while females need 2-3 hectares. Western barred bandicoots breed about every 2 months.
Their breeding season lasts all year but they prefer the cooler months between April and October. These animals have the highest breeding rate for animals of their size and only have a 12 day gestation period. The species succumbed to the variety of threatening factors associated with the collapse of mammal populations in Western Australia 18751925.
A study that modelled its decline when attributed to an epizootic event an unknown disease that was reported at the time found that Perameles eremiana would have had no immunity to its impact. Can breed throughout the year but mostly between July to November. Pregnancy lasts just 12 days so they can produce up to five litters of young per year with an average litter size of two.
Can breed after 4 months of age. Average lifespan is 18 months to 2 years. Males need 13-20 hectares while females need 2-3 hectares.
The Animals Reproduction Babies and Lifespan The reproductive behavior of the bandicoot remains a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that they have a particularly long breeding season that may occur at different times of the year depending on the species.
