Best Answer

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.
