Bilbies keep cool in the desert via a number of special features.

They have large ears for thermo regulation. Blood flows quickly into the thin tissue around the Bilby's ears, preventing them from getting too hot during the day and from losing body heat quickly at night.

Bilbies also dig burrows enabling them to keep cool during the heat of the day, but warm on cold nights.

Where do bilbies shelter?

Bilbies shelter in burrows they dig underground. Their spiral-shaped burrows can be up to three metres long and almost two metres deep. This depth is required to keep the greater bilby safe from predators and to keep the burrow at a constant temperature of 23 degrees Celsius. This helps to keep them cool during hot desert days, and warm during cool desert nights.
