A bilby adapts to its habitat through its burrowing behavior, which provides protection from predators and extreme temperatures. Its long ears help regulate body temperature and enhance hearing, while its strong forelimbs are specialized for digging. Additionally, the bilby's nocturnal lifestyle allows it to avoid the heat of the day and forage for food, such as insects and roots, when conditions are more favorable. This combination of physical adaptations and behavioral strategies enables the bilby to thrive in arid environments.

Is a rabbit a predator to a bilby?
A rabbit is not a predator to a bilby, but it is certainly a threat.The introduction of the rabbit, which voraciously eats much of the vegetation the bilby eats, has resulted in reduced food sources. Rabbits also dig burrows which cause problems for the bilby's habitat, as they tend to cause the bilbies to be caved in. The bilby's habitat has also suffered from being trampled on by herds of stock animals.
When did the threats begin to the bilby?
Serious threats to the bilby began to occur during the mid-1800s, with the expansion of European settlement into their habitat. This s the time when large agricultural and cattle runs began to be established in the outback, resulting in clearing of the bilby's habitat, changed fire regimes, and trampling and disturbance of the bilby's environment. This is also when rabbits were first introduced, forcing the bilby to withdraw to more arid areas.
