Wikipedia
bilby
Macrotis is a genus of desert-dwelling marsupial omnivores known as bilbies or rabbit-bandicoots; they are members of the order Peramelemorphia. At the time of European colonisation of Australia, there were two species. The lesser bilby became extinct in the 1950s; the greater bilby survives but remains endangered. It is currently listed as a vulnerable species. The greater bilby is on average 55 cm (22 in) long, excluding the tail, which is usually around 29 cm (11 in) long. Its fur is usually grey or white; it has a long, pointy nose and very long ears, hence the reference of its nickname to rabbits.

bilby
A bilby is a small nocturnal, omnivorous mammal native to Australia. It is known for its long, pointed ears, silky fur, elongated snout, and strong back legs. The bilby is also known as the rabbit-bandicoot and is particularly notable for being one of the last extant species of the once diverse and distinctive marsupial order Peramelemorphia. They are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and competition with invasive species.
