Information
has glosseng: The Lesser Bandicoot Rat (Bandicota bengalensis) is a giant rat of Southern Asia, not related to the true bandicoots. They can be up to 40 cm long (including the tail). It is considered a pest in the cereal crops and gardens of India and Sri Lanka, and emits piglike grunts when attacking. The name bandicoot is derived from the Telugu language word "Pandikokku" which translates loosely to "pig-rat". Like the better known rats in the genus Rattus, Bandicoot Rats are members of the family Muridae. The fur is dark or (rarely) pale brown dorsally, occasionally blackish, and light to dark grey ventrally. The head-body length is around 250 mm, and the uniformly dark tail is shorter than the head-body length.

Their fur is dark brown on the back (dorsally, as scientists say), and usually ligher or darker grey on the belly-side (ventrally). The length of their body is about 25cm, and the tail is shorter than the body.

has glossnld: De Indische pestrat (Bandicota bengalensis) is een knaagdier uit het geslacht Bandicota dat voorkomt van Pakistan en Sri Lanka tot West-Myanmar. Op het eiland Penang, bij het zuiden van Myanmar, in Atjeh (Noord-Sumatra), op Oost-Java en in Saoedi-Arabië is hij waarschijnlijk geïntroduceerd. Volgens bepaalde studies zijn er drie ondersoorten (B. b. bengalensis, B. b. varius en B. b. wardi), maar het is onduidelijk of dat echte ondersoorten zijn. De verschillen zijn mogelijk alleen maar ecologische verschillen, veroorzaakt door bijvoorbeeld klimaatverschillen. Bandicota maxima uit India zou ook een aparte soort zijn, maar dat wordt betwist.
