Southern Pig-footed Bandicoot

The southern pig-footed bandicoot (Chaeropus ecaudatus) was a small species of herbivorous marsupial in the genus Chaeropus, the pig-footed bandicoots. Taxonomy The type specimen was procured by Thomas Mitchell on the southern (Victorian) bank of the Murray River near where it is joined by the Murrumbidgee River – probably in late May 1836, a few days before the Mount Dispersion massacre. The tail had accidentially been broken off in the study skin, but this only was understood after some time.
