Why is the bilby important?

Answer 1

A bilby is heterotrophic. It moves. It is multicellular. Its cells lack cell walls, chloroplasts, and a central vacuole, but do have the complexities of an animal cell. It is therefore an animal.

Answer 2

The bilby is a marsupial for several reasons.

Marsupial young are born very undeveloped. Moving purely by instinct, the baby joey (the term for all marsupial young) makes its way to the mother's pouch, where the young joey latches onto a teat, remaining there to continue its growth and development. This happens with bilbies.

Bilbies, like all marsupials, do not have advanced placentas, and have epipubic bones. Epipubic bones are bones which project forwards from the pelvis. In the case of marsupials, these bones support the female's pouch, but there are other mammals which are not marsupials which also have epipubic bones. The excretory and reproductive systems of placental mammals and marsupials are also different.

Female bilbies, like other marsupials, have two vaginas, or what are called paired lateral vaginae. These are for the purpose of transporting the sperm to the womb, but there is a midline pseudovaginal canal for actually giving birth. As well as two vaginas and two uteruses, female marsupials have two fallopian tubes and two cervixes. The male bilby has a two-pronged penis to accommodate the females' two vaginas.

Answer 3

Species of animals adapt because they produce more young than can possibly survive, and only those that are best adapted to the environment survive until they are old enough to reproduce. Their traits are passed on, so the species adapts to the environment. This is the process of natural selection. The answer to your question, I guess, is that bilbies adapt to their environment because they produce more offspring than can survive.

If the question is asking how a bilby adapts to its environment, please see the related question below.

One of the main issues facing bilbies since the start of European settlement has been habitat destruction. Where bilbies once roamed over most of the continent, they have had to adapt to the desert and semi-arid areas, the only places where they are left relatively undisturbed (except for introduced predators).

Answer 4

Are you referring to a taxonomical kingdom? Any animal is in the taxonomical kingdom Animalia.

Answer 5

The bilby is of the class Mammalia and within that class, it is a marsupial.
