The Long-noosed Bandicoot is grayish brown in colour and has got a really long pointy nose. It is a nocturnal marsupial .

It busily sniffs the ground and squeaks a lot while looking of its food.

It digs little holes in the ground and sticks its snout down these holes in search of insects, grubs and worms./P>

It makes its nest in a shallow hole lined with grass and leaves. It hides the entrance to the hole with leaves and stuff.
