Bilbies, also known as rabbit-eared bandicoots, are uniquely adapetd to Australia's conditions. They obtain almost all their moisture needs from the food they eat - seeds, fungi and insects - and do not need to drink water. They dig burrows in the ground of the semi-desert areas where they live, in which they can shelter during the heat of the day. They are nocturnal, thereby preserving body moisture by not needing to go out during the day. They also have long snouts for digging up the food they require.

Do bandicoots live in dry areas?

Some bandicoots live in dry areas. The Western barred bandicoot is found in outback New South Wales, but not in dry desert areas. The Golden bandicoot used to be found in a wide range across the dry northwest of Australia, but its range has now contracted to just the far northwest coast. The bilby belongs to the bandicoot family, and it is commonly found in semi-arid regions. The bilby does not need to drink water, as it is able to obtain all the moisture it needs from its food.
