Strangely, the mouse has giant ears

Bilby is the name of a small, exotic rat with a hybrid appearance between rabbit and kangaroo, an endemic species of Australia.

In addition, these rats are also called dalgite in Western Australia, and in South Australia they are also known as 'pinky'. Characteristic of bilby rats are long, big, rabbit-like ears that help bilby hear all the activities around them. The ears are also a means to reduce body heat because bilby mice do not have sweat glands.

The bilby rat's back hair is dark gray and the belly is white. With a long, pointed muzzle, it always glows pink, plus a long and sharp front limb claw, bilby is the champion species in nesting.

"House" of bilby is often located deep underground from 2 - 3m. The depth of the cave helps them avoid enemies and avoid the heat of the sun.

As omnivores, they eat all species such as flowers, tubers, fruits, larvae, insects, until the flesh of other species. Bilby often works at night and does not need to drink water. Unlike the kangaroo, the bilby mouse has a bag "designed" behind it to keep the bag clean while burrowing and nesting.

Pregnancy is quite short. Each pregnancy is usually about 12-14 days. Each litter of bilby mother mice usually produces 1-2 young offspring, but sometimes it is 3-4 cows.

As a child, bilby mice will lie in their mother's pocket for about 80 days before separating themselves from the outside. During that time the pups will survive and grow thanks to their mother's milk.

After this time, the mother mouse will release the baby mouse out, but they still cover their children for about 15 days before letting them live separately. The funny long tail, which is always a weapon to help them scare the enemy.

Previously, they lived mostly on Australian territory, but now the number of these species is severely reduced and only lives in some areas. In a funny, lovely form, bilby mice have become pet pets for those who love them, so they are massively hunted.

In addition to the threat of many other species and the change of habitat, bilby mice are at risk of extinction. Currently Australia has a plan to nurture and preserve this exotic animal in wildlife parks and reserves.
