Is Crash Bandicoot a fox or a pear?

Have you ever wondered what kind of animal Crash Bandicoot is? It is a question that generations of gamers have asked themselves over the years, ever since the character first appeared in the video game of the same name developed by Naughty Dog in 1996 for the first PlayStation.

From the shape and from the color of the orange fur, the first thought that jumps to the head is that the cute fruit devourer Wumpa is a fox. A little too obvious, don't you think? And in fact the truth is another: Crash Bandicoot belongs to the breed of peramele, rare mammals that live in Australia.

Also known as the "eastern bandicoot", the peramele is a marsupial similar in size to that of a rabbit and feeds mainly on small insects that it hunts at night. This funny little animal unfortunately lives for two, maximum three years, and is now considered a race in danger of extinction due to the activity of deforestation by the human being and the arrival of new predators that threaten its existence. . Today it can be found in the territories of Tasmania, in the Basalt Plains and in southern Australia.

Crash Bandicoot and his sister Coco have given greater prominence to this mammal becoming its greatest exponents of fantasy. After years of silence, the series is back in great shape first with the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and then with the fourth main chapter, of which you can discover all the secrets thanks to our review of Crash Bandicoot 4 It's About Time available.
