A story for you about the Australian Easter Bilby.
My avatar is an Easter Bilby and not an Easter Bunny! The Easter Bunny has been an important part of Easter celebrations all over the world, but Australians have often questioned its suitability for our nation. In Australia feral rabbits are a major environmental problem and in most states it is illegal to own a (pet) rabbit. What is an Australian Bilby? It is a small rodent with a long nose and tail, however it shares one feature with the rabbit, and that is her ears! The Easter Bilby is becoming more common on our supermarket shelves alongside the traditional rabbit and most manufacturers donate some of the proceeds from Bilby sales to saving the Bilby. What does a Bilby look like? See the following website for more information: http://www.modnet.com.au/~firefrog/easterbilby.htm

Thanks for sharing this with us. I have never heard of a Bilby.
It's just great when we share news with each other about our life history. Especially when it is about other countries. The part about that it has a very sharp spur on its tail was weird. Thanks again. Do share some more news with us. Jappy |

Sorry Koala, for announcing this on your lovely Bilby thread, but the Easter Bunny has met with a little accident and won't be delivering eggs, this year..
What can I say....The nature of the beast...
