We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which bilbies have been, and are still, found and pay respects to their elders past and present. The lesser bilby samples were provided by the Natural History Museum, London (NHMUK), South Australian Museum (SAMA) and Museum Victoria (NMV).
