Bilbies keep cool in the desert via a number of special features. They have large ears for thermo regulation.

Bilbies also dig burrows enabling them to keep cool during the heat of the day, but warm on cold nights.

In the winter temperatures may drop into the 30s or even 20s (degrees F) at night but usually warm into the 50s and 60s during the day. It is considered a hot subtropical desert.
Why do deserts heat up quickly during the day and cool off quickly during the night?
Deserts generally have low humidity and little cloud cover. The lack of these two factors allows the surface to warm quickly when the sun comes up. In the evening the lack of humidity and cloud cover allow the heat to quickly radiate back into space, cooling the desert.
