Best Answer

Bilbies move on land on their four legs. Their hind legs are longer, so they have a "hopping" motion when they walk or run. They are entirely terrestrial, so they do not move in water (except during floods).

Does a bilby migrate?

Although bilbies have hind legs slightly similar in structure to kangaroos' hind legs, they do not hop. Instead they move with a running gait, or canter, with their forelegs moving alternately and their hind legs moving in unison.

What are hurting the bilbies to make them endangered?

Foxes and cats, which have been introduced to Australia, are one of the main things hurting the bilbies. They successfully hunt bilbies, and their introduction resulted in the extinction of the Lesser bilby. Only the species known as the Greater bilby remains.Rabbits also hurt the bilbies indirectly. Their biggest competition for food has come from the introduced rabbit, Which completely decimate vast areas of native vegetation. Rabbits also burrow where the bandicoots burrow, but their burrows tend to cause the collapse of the bilbies' burrows, resulting in the bilbies being trapped, and suffocating.Man hurts the bilbies by impacting on their habitat. Bilbies used to be found throughout southern Australia, but as European settlement spread further out in search of good agricultural land, bilbies were pushed back into the desert.
