The greater bilby is also known as the rabbit-eared bandicoot, once occupied over 80 percent of Australia, but due to decades and decades of decline, they've become nearly extinct and only a handful of them exist in remote regions of Australia. Australian conservation groups are encouraging public awareness of the greater bilby by promoting the Easter bilby as an alternative to the Easter bunny.

Did you know that almost 80% of bunnies that are up for adoption at shelters were purchased as Easter gifts? Kate, An imgur user, is sick and tired of these cute fur balls ending up in the wrong hands, so she used her pet rabbit Maurie as an example to show the things one has to think about before getting one. 

Happy Easter! 

These pups and kitties are getting into the holiday spirit with bunny ears, colorful eggs, and baskets!
