Once found throughout Australia, the Greater Bilby is now threatened, inhabiting only 10% of its former range and restricted to two distinct pockets in the northwest and central regions of the outback desert, as a result of habitat destruction, disease and introduced species.

Multiple levels of black proof finish make the bilbies and full moon really stand out! , often referred to simply as the bilby, is a long-eared, rabbit-like mammal native to Australia. It lives in burrows and is active at night, feeding on insects, fruit, roots, and fungi. The bilby is a marsupial and carries its young in a pouch. The Greater Bilby is commonly now simply called the bilby (or bilbies for plural), after its smaller cousin, the lesser bilby. , was driven to extinction in the 1950s. Threats include habitat loss, disease, and introduced predators such as foxes. Formerly widespread, greater bilbies are now restricted to arid parts of northwestern and central Australia. It is now classified as a threatened species. Save the Bilby Fund CEO Kevin Bradley estimated in December 2021 that the species had been reduced to just 10% of its original range, which once covered 70% of the Australian continent. Haigh’s Chocolates in Adelaide made 950,000 chocolate bilbies between 1993 and Easter 2020, with proceeds donated to the Foundation for Rabbit-Free Australia, which does environmental work to protect the indigenous biodiversity of Australia. Greater bilbies have the characteristics of long bandicoot muzzle and very long ears. They are about 29-55 centimeters (11-22 in) in length. Compared to bandicoots, they have a longer tail, bigger ears, and softer, silky fur. The size of their ears allows them to have better hearing as well. At 1 to 2.4 kilograms (2.2 to 5.3 lb), the male is about the same size as a rabbit; although male animals in good condition have been known to grow up to 3.7 kilograms (8.2 lb) in captivity. The female is smaller, and weighs around 0.8 to 1.1 kilograms (1.8 to 2.4 lb). Bilbies have an excellent sense of smell and sharp hearing. Their fur is blue-gray with patches of tan and is very soft. The tail is black and white with a distinct crest. The bilby makes its home in a burrow that spirals down, making it hard for its predators to get in. Unlike bandicoots, they are excellent burrowers and can build extensive tunnel systems with their strong forelimbs and well-developed claws. An adult bilby typically makes several burrows within its home range, even up to a dozen. It moves between them, using them for shelter both from predators and the heat of the day, as they are nocturnal. The female bilby’s pouch faces backward, which prevents her pouch from getting filled with dirt while she is digging. The bilby prefers arid habitats because of the spinifex grass and acacia shrubs.
