As Chordates (or members of the chordata group), bilbies share the following characteristics:
dorsal nerve cord which is a bundle of nerve fibres which runs down the back. It connects the brain with the lateral muscles and other organs.
notochord which is a cartilaginous rod running underneath, and supporting, the nerve cord - in the case of the bilby, a spine.
post-anal tail - an extension of the body past the anal opening.
