With their long ears, silky fur, and clever burrowing skills, Greater Bilbies are one of Australia’s most unique marsupials. Once found across 70% of the country, today fewer than 10,000 remain in the wild due to habitat loss and predators such as feral cats and foxes. At Monarto Safari Park, Zoos SA has been working to change that story for more than 25 years. Our dedicated breeding program has produced over 200 bilbies, with more than 90 released back into the wild at places like Thistle Islan

AWC is helping to restore Australia's endangered Greater Bilby. So far, we have reintoruced Bilbies to 5 feral predator-free areas, which now protect 10-15% of the estimated global Bilby population. This translocation program is set to increase the global Bilby population by up to 40% - or around 5,000 Bilbies.

“In Australia… this animal replaced the Easter Bunny.” Meet the Greater Bilby — a desert marsupial known for its long ears and powerful digging ability. Bilbies once lived across most of Australia, but today they survive in only a small part of their former range in central desert regions. Bilbies are ecosystem engineers. Their deep burrows help aerate soil and support desert biodiversity. Major threats include: • Introduced predators like foxes and feral cats • Habitat damage from livestock gra

20 Years of National Bilby Day! This year marks a milestone for one of Australia’s most beloved marsupials — the Greater Bilby. Since 2005, National Bilby Day has shone a spotlight on this shy, long-eared digger and the fight to save it from extinction. Thanks to the vision of conservationist Frank Manthey OAM, it remains the only official national day dedicated to an Australian native species. And in 2025, we’re celebrating 20 years of bilby pride!

Australia's answer to the Easter bunny, the greater bilby, will be further protected. At risk of extinction from habitat loss and introduced predators, the federal government will spend $5 million on new programs to bring the bilby back from the brink. The plan is to boost bilby numbers from just a few thousand, to millions. More: https://7news.link/3ZFLkrK 7NEWS at 6pm. #Bilby #7NEWS | 7NEWS Sydney

A new 'genetic map' breaking down the entire greater bilby, Macrotis lagotis genome will help stave off extinction for remaining wild populations susceptible to inbreeding. Bilbies were once so abundant in Australia that when colonists arrived their presence in the landscape was compared to the prevalence of rabbits in Europe. Today, it is listed as vulnerable at a national level and is extinct in the wild in some areas. | ABC News
