#bilby

[critter-creature-or-beast]

I hope nobody minded today's bilbyposting, I just think they're really cute, and it's very cool that Australia sometimes uses them as an Easter bunny alternative to raise awareness of their own native wildlife and the need to protect them. 🫵 You are now aware of the bilby

There’s more good news for the Easter Bilby at Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary on Badimia Country in Western Australia.

The latest Annual Bilby Census estimates around 799 bilbies thriving within the sanctuary’s feral predator-free fenced area - one of the most important strongholds for the species anywhere in the country. Protected from feral predators, this population continues to play a vital role in securing the future of the Greater Bilby, showing just how powerful safe havens can be for Australia’s threatened wildlife. photographs by Z Wessels, A Dodson/AWC

It's dig deep for the bilbies time again! All donations made on March 27th AEST will be doubled! And remember the US dollar is worth more in Australia (so example if you donate 20usd it converts to about 31aud. 40usd converts to around 60aud!)

Jax makes a cute bilby I think! No longer an invasive bunny he can help out the little guys in the meantime.
