Western Australia, Queensland, Northern Territory. bilbies can live in sandstone ridges, gibber plains, rocky soils with little ground cover, a variety of grasslands, and acacia scrub.ilbies, also known as rabbit-eared bandicoots, are critically endangered.
As the bilby is an Endangered Species, what is being done to help the bilbies? In order to try and save the bilby from extinction, there have been a number of efforts to create predator-free reserves in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and even New South Wales, with varying degrees of success. Bilbies (small marsupials sometimes known as rabbit-eared bandicoots) are critically endangered, and can only be found in isolated areas of far western Queensland and the Northern Territory, and areas of the Great Sandy Desert, Pilbara and Kimberley areas of Western Australia.

Feral dogs, foxes and cats are introduced predators of the bilby. Whilst not predators, introduced rabbits pose a threat to the bilby. Not only do they eat the bilbies' food, but their burrowing often causes the bilbies' burrows to cave in, trapping and suffocating the bilbies.

Greater bilbies live alone or in pairs. In the wild, greater bilbies live to about seven years old. The greater bilby is a prodigious breeder. They begin to breed when they are six months old and can produce up to eight young a year. Greater bilbies can live in a range of habitats that include Mitchell grass plains, sandstone ridges, gibber plains, rocky soils with little ground cover, hummock and tussock grasslands, and Acacia shrublands. In captivity, bilbies typically live for at least five years with some specimens reaching ten years of age. However, wild caught bilbies tend to be less than 12 months old. Females become reproductively active at six months of age and can breed all year round if conditions are favourable. Greater bilbies have the characteristics of long bandicoot muzzle and very long ears. They are about 29–55 centimetres (11–22 in) in length. Compared to bandicoots, they have a longer tail, bigger ears, and softer, silky fur. The size of their ears allows them to have better hearing as well. The pouch usually accommodates 2 young. As the gestation period is 14 days, female bilbies can give birth up to 4 times a year, producing up to 8 young. The young are attached to one of eight teats in the pouch, detaching from the teats around 11 to 12 weeks and become weaned by 13 to 15 weeks.  Bilbies live in the sand country; they prefer open country with a mixture of bare soil and grass clumps. Traditional patch burning by Aboriginal people helped the Bilby because it reduced the amount of shrub cover and stimulated the growth of its food supplies. Until the turn of the century the Bilby was one of Australia’s most widespread marsupials, inhabiting 70% of the Australian mainland. It lived in a variety of habitats, such as along rivers, in mulga shrubland and spinifex sand plains. • In the Northern Territory Bilbies live in mulga shrublands and spinifex grasslands in the Tanami Desert. In Western Australia they are found in the Gibson and Great Sandy Deserts and the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. In Queensland they inhabit the Mitchell grasslands of the far south-west.
