bilby
Long-eared marsupial
A bilby is a small burrowing marsupial native to Australia, with long rabbit-like ears, a pointed snout, and silky blue-gray fur.
Bilbies are nocturnal and endangered, now found only in arid regions.
In Australia, the Easter Bilby has been promoted as a native alternative to the Easter Bunny: chocolate bilbies for the kids.
