06.01.2022 Endangered bilby numbers bouncing back It wasn't just regional Queenslanders getting busy during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

MORE: https://ab.co/3yKugEG The Save the Bilby Fund has estimated bilby numbers to be about 150 inside the 25 square kilometre predator exclusion fencing in the Currawinya National Park. That was five times what the population was two years ago. "It's almost like a bilby hydroponic project we've got down here at the moment," CEO of Save the Bilby Fund Kevin Bradley said. "There are fourth generation wild-born bilbies in there now, it means they've had two or three litters each," Mr Bradley said. It seemed the native marsupials, with their huge ears and pointy snouts, were living up to their reputations as rapid breeders. "They've got one of the shortest pregnancies of any mammal on earth at 14 days," Mr Bradley said. "They exit the pouch at three months and are sexually mature around six to eight months of age." : Save the Bilby Fund via ABC Brisbane
