The bilby is such a cute yet endangered Australian marsupial! The Greater Bilby remains a keystone species for environmental protection of national parks. The scientific name for the bilby is Macrotis lagotis.
Teaching ideas for the bilby replica
- Learn about Australian marsupials and their distribution across Australia.
- Discuss the importance of keystone species in the protection of habitats.
- Students could create a report on how biologists are working to increase the numbers of bilbies in conservation areas.
- Create a school mural of bilbies on your classroom wall.
- The chocolate ‘Easter Bilby’ is used to promote conservation. Find case studies on how this has promoted awareness of the wilderness.
- List nocturnal animals found in semi-arid areas.
- Have students create a science poster on the biology of bilbies.
