Biiliby's Endangered Animals

The rabbit bandicoot also known as the Biliby is endangered, and has been for eight years. It has been vulnerable to the environment for three years. They are endangered because feral cats and other larger animals hunt them. Also, there is competition between other animals for food. Another reason why they are endangered is because of land clearing and livestock grazing habits the grasslands are disappearing, which is where the Bilibies live. It is important to save these animals because they used to be a very important source of food for native people before they became endangered around the year 1950. Now the Biliby has become a symbol of Australia’s efforts to save its native species. Biliby’s are small they are about 9 to 10 inches long.
