‘It’s tricky to get photos of me, because I sleep all day and actually, sometimes I can fall over on my side when I’m sleeping (every so often, with my feet in the air) When I am on the alert this is my best photo angle” ~ Bilby Joey
GOING, GOING…
They need a rabbit proof fence; did you know?
for our future Bilby generation who may become extinct and sadly go.
Their past, present and future is looking really tense
needing protected areas in the outback, where the flora is luxurious and dense.
Many predators roam around the bush “out-back” here,
slowly invading their homes and making them live in terror, danger and fear.
‘Endangered species’ … well, yes, they are now on ‘that’ dreaded list
only 600 in Queensland Australia are ‘counted’ to exist.
So to Bilby yes, or to protect Bilby not …
what do you know?
Do you think you could help to ensure that we Bilbies will continue to grow?
they’re cute little critters with pointy ears and a long pink snout’
it would help them very much, if there were more of them about.
During the day they burrows and at nights they go out,
you may have seen their sandy mounds in remote regions … here, there and dotted around.
I hadn’t know enough before, about these charming little ones,
I only know ‘now’ about ‘what’ and ‘why’ and how their extinction would be so terrible and wrong.
