About


This is the special little animal that the man in the previous image has dedicated his life too.

THE BILBY!!!!!

They have enclosures at the National Park where they breed the Bilby to increase the numbers. They also run night tours for the public as these animals are nocturnal. People are able to photograph these animals from outside the enclosure.

I was fortunate enough though to be taken into their sleeping quarters during the day. It was lit only with red lights. They woke the animals up for me to photograph which was difficult as I couldn't see anything through the viewfinder except a red hue.

They are beautiful and soft and you can see by the size of the mans hand that they really aren't that big.

I have included another photograph below to show the size of their ears.

Judi,
You have a lot of strange little critters down there in Australia.
Looks like a cross between a rabbit and an opossum.

Look on the bright side, if they do go extinct, They only came out at night in the wilds, so no body would miss them. Right?
Only kidding... Only kidding. I'm ducking for cover now :)

Hahahaha....I was waiting for an Aussie to say that. Yes, some of the funds from those chocolate Bilby's goes to help this center out.

Wow Judi how very unusal! What are they being raised for do you know? Is there a purpose as such?? Must be but I didn't get it from your description?? What big ears!!

My family raised mink for many years for the fur. My Mother actually raised her own full length mink coat.

That is a crazy looking animal my friend. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor. Well done Judi if not for you and the fellow doing this most of us would never know what a Bilby is.
