Bilbies, like many native Australian marsupials, are relatively defenceless creatures.
They are nocturnal, meaning they do most of their hunting for food at night, thereby staying hidden in the shadows of low-growing shrubs.
In addition, the bilby has sharp claws, although these are not for defence. These claws allow for burrowing deep into the arid earth which pawed animals and predators would have difficulty penetrating. There are five front digits on each foot, with the central three being longer than the outside ones.
Bilbies have a body covering of fur, as they are mammals (mammals are covered with fur, hair or skin). The fur acts as insulation and helps protect them against extremes of temperature in their environment.

Scorpions protect themselves by having a hard exoskeleton that serves as a physical barrier against predators. They also have venomous stingers that they use for defense when threatened. Additionally, scorpions are nocturnal animals, which helps them avoid many predators that are active during the day.
