Why are rabbit bandicoots endangered?

Answer 1

There are no animals called the rabbit bandicoot. The bilby is sometimes known as a rabbit-eared bandicoot (by non-Australians) because of its long ears.

Bilbies are endangered because of loss and change to their habitat as well as the competition with other animals. The introduction of large animals for livestock, and rabbits, has greatly reduced the bilby's habitat and food source. In the past, attempts to trap and poison rabbits had an adverse effect on the bilby population as well.
