The bilby is a small, endangered marsupial of Australia. It is endangered due to the introducton of foxes and feral cats. Rabbits also cause a problem, as they dig burrows in the same area where bilbies dig their burrows, and this causes the bilbies' burrows to cave in. Once common in many areas, it has been reduced to living in semi-arid areas of Australia due to habitat loss. It is insectivorous, and has a long snout which it uses to sniff out insects and larvae.
