Generally speaking, Australians have the same as all the other Commonwealth countries, a bunny rabbit with easter eggs. In recent years, however, the Bilby has been put forward as a new Easter symbol in Australia. The Bilby is a native Australian animal that has become endangered. It is a small nocturnal omnivorous marsupial with a long nose and tail and rabbit-like ears. The Easter Bilby is becoming more common on our supermarket shelves alongside the traditional rabbit and most manufacturers donate some of the proceeds from Bilby sales to saving the Bilby.
The bilby has adapted to its arid Australian environment through several key features: it has large ears that help dissipate heat and enhance its sense of hearing, allowing it to detect predators and find food. Its long, pointed snout is well-suited for foraging insects and plant roots in the sandy soil. Additionally, the bilby's nocturnal behavior helps it avoid daytime heat and reduces competition for food. These adaptations enable the bilby to thrive in harsh conditions where water and food sources are scarce.
The bilby and the bandicoot are two burrowing animals that begin with the letter 'b'.
The bilby is critically endangered.
