Before Australia was settled by Europeans, Bilbies could be found in about 70% of the Australian mainland. The Greater Bilby is on the endangered list in some states and extinct in other states. The Lesser Bilby has not been seen since the 1950s and believed to be extinct. The female Bilby's pouch opens backwards to avoid filling with dirt while digging her burrow. At only 14 days, the Bilby has one of the shortest gestation periods of all mammals. Baby Bilbies are carried for the first 75 days in their mother's pouch. The non-native foxes and feral cats prey on Bilbies and are one of the causes for the Bilby decline. |
