The Seram bandicoot is a rare marsupial mammal with a very long snout. This animal lives only in the forests of Seram Island in Indonesia and has rarely been encountered by scientists since the beginning of the last century.
The Seram bandicoot is distinguished by its particularly long snout and the fact that it lives only on one island. It is important for the forest because it eats insects and helps spread plant seeds.
