Bilbies are generally not aggressive and do not bite people unless they feel threatened. They are small marsupials native to Australia and are more likely to flee than confront humans. However, like many wild animals, they may bite if they are cornered or handled. It's best to observe them from a distance to avoid any potential stress or aggression.
