There are many differences between a bilby and a rabbit.

  • Bilbies are marsupials, i.e. pouched mammals, but rabbits are placental mammals. Bilbies are a type of bandicoot, and the young stay in the pouch for 75-80 days.
  • Bilbies have a gestation period of about 14 days. Rabbits have a gestation period of 28-31 days.
  • Bilbies are native to the continent of Australia. Rabbits are found everywhere else and were introduced to Australia. Thus, rabbits cause extensive damage to the environment whereas bilbies do not.
