Easter Show (8)


This is a bilby, a highly endangered and very cute, species of bandicoot. At Easter, instead of chocolate eggs and bunnies, try a chocolate bilby and help to save the species. This one is a large male.

ooo ooo ooo ... I love his fluted snout.

Where were these little critters housed?

In a tent on the main "road" quite near the entrance/exit. I stumbled across it on the way out, it was Featherdale Wildlife or whatever they are called. I was just lucky that they had the bilby out when I wandered in.

Had not realised how big they actually are.

What a nose!
That first picture is a winner.

I would happily eat a chocolate bilby or six to help these little creatures Ann, so sad that many of our unique Australian animals are going down this track.
