I. Love. Bilbys. I love Bilbys with their babies, I love a smiling Bilby, and I love Bilbys in hats. You really just can’t go wrong with a Bilby. Don’t you agree?

A bilby is a master digger & tunnel creator. Typically a bilby will have up to a dozen tunnels built within its home range that it uses for shelter and as a refuge from predators. Since it is a marsupial, the female bilby has a backward facing pouch which prevents dirt from getting inside when she is digging.

Did I mention that I loooove bilbyssss? XD
