The striped bandicoot is a small marsupial mammal with dark stripes on its back. It lives in the mountain forests of New Guinea and leads a nocturnal lifestyle.
The striped bandicoot differs from other bandicoots by its noticeable dark stripes on the back. It is important for nature because it eats insects and helps maintain balance in the forest ecosystems of New Guinea.
