However, some have recently been discovered in Hamilton Victoria, sheltering under car wreckage in a tip.    Zoos Victoria coordinates a captive breeding program and works closely with the recovery team, to bring the species back from the brink.  <\/p>\n<p>The Eastern Barred Bandicoots, in this painting, are from Tasmania, where they are listed as \u2018requiring monitoring\u2019 on the Tasmanian Threatened Species List 1995.   Nationally, the Eastern Barred Bandicoot is classified as vulnerable.  So far it is believed that foxes have not reached Tasmania and they are working hard to keep it this way.   Another threat to the Bandicoot is loss of habitat, which is critical to any creature\u2019s survival and so it is important for me to include habitat in my work.   Also, I do love to paint it.<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"Blossom\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blossom.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blossom-357x450.jpg\" alt=\"Blossom\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>Blossom - Brushtailed Possum<\/p>\n<p>Graphite on Bamboo Paper Approximate size A3<br \/>\nSold<\/p>\n<p>Prints available<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"Southern Brown Bandicoot\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bandicoot-Painting-web-site.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bandicoot-Painting-web-site-450x370.jpg\" alt=\"Southern Brown Bandicoot\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>Southern Brown Bandicoot<\/p>\n<p>Victoria\/South Australia<br \/>\nOil on Canvas 40 x 33cm<br \/>\nSold<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"Badger Creek - Platypus\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/APlatypus.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/APlatypus-450x265.jpg\" alt=\"Badger Creek - Platypus\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>Badger Creek - Platypus<\/p>\n<p>Size 75 cm x 44 cm<br \/>\nSOLD<\/p>\n<p>Entered in the 2003 Wildlife Art Society of Australasia Annual Exhibition<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"Possum Paradise\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/APigmy-Possumjpg.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/APigmy-Possumjpg-450x308.jpg\" alt=\"Possum Paradise\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>Possum Paradise - Pigmy Possum <\/p>\n<p>Size: 30 x 24 cm or 11.75\" x 9.5\"<br \/>\nSOLD<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"Brushtail Phascogale\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ABrushTailed-Phascogale1.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ABrushTailed-Phascogale1-450x289.jpg\" alt=\"Brushtail Phascogale\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>Brushtail Phascogale<\/p>\n<p>41 x 26.5cm or 16\" x 10.5\"<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"Cherry\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cherry.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cherry-322x450.jpg\" alt=\"Cherry\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>Cherry (Koala) <\/p>\n<p>A4<br \/>\nSold<\/p>\n<p>Prints available<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"The Difficult Crossing\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DifficultCrossing2010.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DifficultCrossing2010-331x450.jpg\" alt=\"The Difficult Crossing\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>The Difficult Crossing - Squirrel Glider<\/p>\n<p>Sold<\/p>\n<p>Prints available<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div><div class=\"single-ug-image-item \">\n                        <a title=\"Erin's Home\" href=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greater-Glider-23.jpg\" class=\"single-image-item-trigger \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ozwildart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Greater-Glider-23-260x450.jpg\" alt=\"Erin's Home\"\/><\/a>\n                        <div class=\"wug-caption\">\n                            <p>Erin's Home - Greater Glider<\/p>\n<p>52 x 88 cm or 20.5\" x 34.5\"<br \/>\nSold <\/p>\n<p>The greater glider is a marsupial possum and is closely related to the lemuroid ringtail possum. The greater glider has a flap of skin along each side as does the lemuroid, but this skin has evolved into an expandable membrane that allows it to glide. It is the longest glider in the world with a head and body length of up to 45cm and a non prehensile tail length of about 60cm. It can glide for up to 100 meters and turn in mid-glide. Their fur may be gray, dark brown or white. It inhabits the canopy of the tall eucalypt forests of the east coast of Australia and feeds on eucalypt leaves and buds and rests in high tree hollows during the day.<\/p>\n<p>Erin was rescued by a wildlife carer. She had fallen onto a roof and broken her tail.
