Here's why:
* Habitat: Bilbies prefer open, sandy areas with spinifex grass and low-lying vegetation. These areas are typically found in deserts and grasslands, not in the dense, humid environments of rainforests.
* Diet: Bilbies are primarily insectivores and feed on insects, worms, and small vertebrates. Rainforests generally have a different ecosystem and food sources that wouldn't be suitable for a bilby's diet.
* Climate: Bilbies are well adapted to dry, hot conditions with minimal rainfall. They are vulnerable to excessive moisture and humidity.
So, while bilbies are fascinating marsupials, they wouldn't thrive in a rainforest setting.
