How does the bilby survive in the desert?
The bilby lives in the desert and semi-arid areas of Australia, digging burrows to escape from the heat of the day. It also obtains most of its moisture needs from the food it eats, which consists of insects and their larvae, seeds, bulbs, fruit, fungi and even, on occasion, other small mammals. It is nocturnal, only emerging at night to hunt for food, so this also helps it survive in harsh environments.
