Bilby....

Australia is a land of strange flora and fauna, yan ang unang napansin ko pagka-apak pa lang na pagka-apak ng mga paa ko dito.... Madami stuff toys nakasabit sa Duty Free he he.... And some of those are endangered like this cute and cuddly looking Bilby for example....

Hindi po bilbil iba naman yun hindi cute yun.... Bill-bee.... yun tamang pagbigkas nun....

Lam mo halatang nanood ka na naman ng documentary programs kanina Peng....

Para syang cross between Rabbit, Rat, and a Kangaroo ano nakakatuwa.... The bilby is a marsupial mammal which belongs to the bandicoot family and is about the size of a rabbit.

They have large ears, a silky light bluish-grey and white coat, and a long, black and white crested tail. Bilbies have a long pointed snout and a well-developed sense of smell to help them find food like makdo halimbawa....

Like all marsupials, the female bilbies have a pouch in which they carry their babies. Like the Australian koala, bilbies get most of their water from the food they eat.

The bilby populations are now isolated and scattered which means they are susceptible to ecological changes and are vulnerable to natural disasters such as disease and fire.

The bilbies in Queensland are now the most threatened and genetically distinct population in Australia, with only 600-700 specimens left in the wild.

Luckily salamat sa human interventions ang cute na Bilby po ay makikita pa ng mga future generations natin.... Example lang na civilized na tayo nung time ng mga Dinosaurs with all the moral and intellectual advancements etc., ano kayang klaseng mga interventions naman pwede nating gawin just to save them from extinction, hindi kaya tayo ang na-extinct at ginawang tsibog ng mga yun....?

Ano naman kaya kung sakali ang naging roles nila dito sa present time natin ngayon....? Hmmmm.... esep esep.... Alam mo Peng ala ka imagination talaga! Hindi ka ba nakapanood ng Flintstone....? Yan lang po.... =D
