#HappyEaster to all celebrating! #dyk in 🇦🇺, we have Easter Bilby? #Bilbies are native endangered Australian marsupials in NT and WA, so to raise money and increase awareness of conservation efforts, bilby-shaped chocolates are sold in many stores in addition to #EasterBunny.

#Bilby breeding programs are looking after the genetic diversity of #Bilbies. I have been involved with #SaveTheBilbyFund for 23 yrs; they do good work, the #marsupial #mammal Bilby is back from the brink of #extinction due to cats, foxes.

A tiny step to #decolonise the database: though we don't know their names, it's now recorded that it was First Nations Australians who collected our important desert #marsupials, including extinct pig-footed #bandicoots & lesser #bilbies. #DecoloniseZoology #MuseumDocumentation
Wishing you all a Happy Easter! Bilbies are sometimes depicted as Australia’s Easter bunny. They are an endangered species, nocturnal and a marsupial belonging to the bandicoot family. They dig spiral burrows and live on seeds and insects. #bilbies #Easter2023

Challenges in testing a novel control tool for feral mesopredators
Ned caught 20 #feralcats (#respect) & tracked #bilbies to test ability for implants to protect vulnerable species.
Can’t show you his results yet but they’re very interesting!

And here is an Indian bandicoot-rat.
The word #bandicoot is derived from the Indian Telugu language, and means "pig-rat" .
So those English settlers were ultimately calling #bilbies "rabbit pig-rat-rats" 🐇 🐷 🐀 🐀

This Asian rodent - the bandicoot rat - is the animal that Australian bandicoots were named after.
#rodents #marsupials #taxidermy
English settlers called #bilbies "rabbit bandicoots".
"Rabbit" is derived from Old French & Dutch; & "bandicoot" is borrowed from unrelated Indian bandicoot-rats.
Happily, one of their many Indigenous names - bilby - is now the most used, from Yuwaalaraay & Wiradjuri languages.
Not many animals have ears that are about the same length as their heads.
Meet the bilby.

Bilbies have evolved feet & legs that look a lot like a mini #kangaroo's (despite not being very closely related), however unlike a kangaroo, #bilbies can switch between hopping both legs together, or walking one at a time.
