Bilbies (Macrotis lagotis) are found in:
* Western Australia: Particularly in the arid and semi-arid regions, including the Gibson Desert, the Little Sandy Desert, and the Tanami Desert.
* South Australia: Some populations exist in the northern part of the state, in areas like the Simpson Desert and the Strzelecki Desert.
* Northern Territory: They are found in the central and western regions of the Northern Territory, including the Tanami Desert, the Gibson Desert, and the western part of the Simpson Desert.
Important Notes:
* Bilbies are critically endangered. Their populations have declined significantly due to habitat loss, introduced predators (like foxes and feral cats), and other threats.
* Their distribution is patchy and fragmented. Their populations are not continuous across these areas, but are found in isolated pockets.
* Conservation efforts are ongoing. To protect bilbies, several conservation programs focus on habitat restoration, predator control, and captive breeding.
