What is the lifespan of the rabbit bandicoot?

Answer:

The correct name for a rabbit bandicoot, or rabbit-eared bandicoot, is the bilby. The lifespan of a wild bilby is up to 6 years, but often less, due to predation and habitat destruction. A bilby in captivity can live between 6-7 years, and the oldest recorded bilby lived for nine years and seven months.
