Bilby plushie

Bilbies are small nocturnal marsupials native to Australia, particularly in arid regions such as deserts and grasslands. They have long ears, a pointed snout, and soft grey and white fur.

Known for their burrowing habits, bilbies dig extensive tunnels and shelter in them during the day. Females give birth to underdeveloped young, which then continue to grow in the mother’s pouch for about 75 days. Bilbies play a crucial role in Australian desert ecosystems by aiding soil turnover and seed dispersal. Conservation efforts are vital for this species, which is endangered due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species.
