"This is a stickup!” speaker (9)

I believe the answer is:

bandicoot

(Other definitions for bandicoot that I've seen before include "Aussie native" , "Australian marsupial with long pointed muzzle and tail" , "rat is seen" , "Little animal" , "Australian native" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
