An endangered Greater bilby (Macrotis lagotis) runs happy and free in the feral predator-proof fenced area in Pilliga National Park, northern New South Wales, Australia. (Larger 1, 2).
I've enlisted the help of Caine (and Jax) to help spread the word that on March 20th starting at 9am AEST the Save the Bilby Fund, is having all donations made that day matched!
Please donate if you can! Every little bit helps, in fact USD is worth more in AUD so even a small amount in USD is giving more than you think! And that's not even counting the matched donations for that day.
I'll be doing some more bilby related art as the day approaches to help remind everyone and spread the word. Today we're starting with bilbifying Jax again.
A little Easter bilby by Haigh's, found secondhand by my Australian friend. I have another Easter bilby from this chocolate company, but not one with a cute little dungaree outfit!
The platypus Yowie figure (in its capsule) was stashed in the pocket on arrival, so that just stays there now.
A bilby! A nocturnal marsupial from Australia. They build burrows throughout their territory, which provides shelter them and for other species, and which may help them stay safe through bush fires. As marsupials, they keep their young in pouches through their development, but their pouches are reversed! The entry to the pouch is at the bottom, rather than the top. This helps keep dirt from getting into their pouch while burrowing! I just think they’re neat. :-)

Jellycat bashful bunny to custom bashful bilby
Found the bunny at a charity store for $2 and then customised them to be a bilby by lengthening the snoot, shortening and perking up the ears, moving the eyes and making a new tail.
Inspired by @thylacines-toybox's lovely bashful thylacine customs!
