Meet Joey Bilby – Skye

Spring has definitely sprung

It’s an extra special Easter this year, as we recently welcomed our newest arrival to the family – Greater Bilby, Skye Nicolson! She’s only four months old, but already showing a curious personality and some very impressive digging skills. Besides being adorable, Skye is an important ambassador for her fellow Greater Bilbies, one of Australia’s most threatened native species.

Don’t miss her on your visit! Say hello to Skye, see if you can keep up with her lightning-fast digging and learn more about Greater Bilbies at the Repturnal Den (map ref. B14).
