Given the peculiar references made in the article like referring to bilbys as a rabbit-eared bandicoot chipmunk species, this is clearly a spam news site that pushes articles from legitimate sites through ChatGPT.

I had the same question. According to Britannica, Australian bandicoots are marsupials, not rodents.
This seems kind of like something can and will go wrong here that really fucked up the oceans even more...
