Best Answer

The last white footed rabbit rat was recorded at about 1845, but some were reported in 1856â??57 and maybe in the 1930s. Rats may have spread diseases or competed for food with the white footed rabbit rat.

The white footed rabbit rat was native to the woodlands of south-eastern Australia. It is said that Aboriginal fire stick farming, which was the method of farming used to maintain the woodland areas, may have been the cause of extinction for these little rodents.
