The proper name for the rabbit-eared bandicoot is bilby.
Bilbies can only be found in isolated areas of the Simpson Desert in far western Queensland and the Northern Territory, and areas of the Great Sandy Desert, Pilbara and Kimberley areas of Western Australia. In Queensland, they may be seen in a protected area near Charleville, in the west.
