One known extinct species of bandicoot, the Pig footed bandicoot , was so different than the other species that it was recently moved into its own family. There are four described fossil Peramelids. They are found throughout Australia and New Guinea , with at least some species living in every available habitat, from rain forest to desert. Characteristics Peramelids are small marsupials, ranging in size from the Mouse Bandicoot , which is 15 17.5 cm long, to the Giant Bandicoot , which at 39 56 cm in length and up 4.7 kilograms in weight, is about the size of a rabbit .
