what is a bilby
The greater bilby is a bandicoot with long ears and a pointed snout. The male’s head and body can be up to 55 cm long and weigh up to 3.5 kg, but the female is about a third to half this size. Both sexes are covered with silky blue-grey fur, fading on the underbelly, although the tail, which can measure almost 30 cm, is black and white with a crest running along its length.
