Save the Bilby
Bilby – Australia’s Easter Bunny
Common name: Greater bilby
Scientific name: Macrotis lagotis
Family: Thylacomyidae
Among the hot, dry grasslands of western Queensland, the Greater Bilby lives far from the public interest surrounding its conservation. As one of Queensland’s 15 endangered mammals, the Greater Bilby is the subject of intense conservation efforts. This includes attempts to replace the Easter Bunny with the Easter Bilby in Australia, in an effort to make the public aware of this important animal’s endangered plight. Find out more:
