The Greater Bilby is a nocturnal marsupial native to Australia, known for its long ears and pointed snout. It has a distinctive sandy-colored fur with a white underbelly and a long, tufted tail. Once widespread across the continent, its population has significantly declined due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species like cats and foxes. Greater Bilbies are primarily insectivorous, feeding on insects, seeds, and bulbs. They play a crucial role in their ecosystem by aerating the soil through their burrowing activities. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this species and its habitat, including breeding programs and predator control measures.
