Macrotis Lagotis is a scientific name given to a specific species of rabbit called the bilby. This animal is a small marsupial that is native to Australia. The name 'Macrotis Lagotis' refers to the animal's unique physical features, which include long rabbit-like ears and a distinctive snout. Some synonyms for Macrotis Lagotis include the greater bilby, rabbit-eared bandicoot, and dalgyte. These synonyms are commonly used in scientific literature and among wildlife experts to refer to the bilby. The bilby is an important keystone species in the Australian ecosystem, and efforts are being made to protect this endangered animal from habitat loss and predation by feral cats and foxes.
