Where do bilbies live?
Quick Answer
Bilbies live in arid and semi-arid regions of Australia. Their remaining wild populations are mostly in parts of western Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia.
The Full Story
Bilbies are nocturnal marsupials adapted to Australia’s dry inland regions. Today, the greater bilby survives in fragmented populations in parts of western Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia, with conservation areas helping protect them. They prefer sandy soils where they can burrow and forage at night. The species is often used as a flagship for Australian desert conservation. Habitat loss and introduced predators have reduced its former range.
