Say Hi to Nini the Bilby!
A bilby is considered to be a rabbit eared bandicoot, and you can find this little Bilby in Western Australia. Nini is part of the WA breeding program to increase the Bilby population as they remain an endangered species. Nini loves to venture out at night time, and you will never see her without her trusty cardigan on. Considered to be one the most stylish Bilbys in the community, Nini often volunteers her time to create clothes for her fellow Bilbians and one day aspires to be a top fashion designer. She’s also a strong advocate for the Bilby population and seeing to it that their numbers grow in the future.
