Description
Bilby (Macrotis lagotis) diggings are important in the restoration of the soil and the regrowth of the vegetation of arid Australia. By creating deep holes in the sand, this enables plant material to fall in and decompose. Each Bilby essentially creates numerous compost pits every night.
The greater bilby once ranged over most of mainland Australia, but the arrival of exotic predators has eliminated greater bilbies from most of their former range. Its closest relative, the lesser bilby, is now extinct.
THis picture is from my collection of Wildlife Sydney Darling Harbour.
