Chaeropus yirratji est une espèce disparue de marsupiaux australiens herbivores de la famille des Chaeropodidae. On pense qu’il est éteint depuis le milieu du XXe siècle ; la dernière observation confirmée était un spécimen recueilli près d’Alice Springs en 1901, mais des rapports d’Aborigènes locaux indiquent qu’il pourrait avoir survécu dans le désert de Gibson et le parc national Great Sandy jusque dans les années 1950. Description Chaeropus yirratji est un très petit bandicoot avec de longues pattes minces.
The northern pig-footed bandicoot (Chaeropus yirratji) was a small species of extinct herbivorous Australian marsupial in the genus Chaeropus, the pig-footed bandicoots. It has been believed to be extinct since the mid-20th century; the last confirmed observation was a specimen collected near Alice Springs in 1901, but reports from local Aborigines indicate that it may have survived in the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts as late as the 1950s. It very closely resembled and was formerly considered conspecific with the related southern pig-footed bandicoot, but unlike C.
