How good is this!? Ranger Ryan recently captured this video of a greater bilby doing its thing in Currawinya National Park’s bilby enclosure.

This species once ranged over most of mainland Australia, but the arrival of exotic predators has eliminated greater bilbies from most of their former range. Its closest relative, the lesser bilby, is extinct. In
