Bilby
The bilby split from the bandicoot family 20 million years ago, resulting in a marsupial that looks like a cross between a piglet, a rabbit, and a bandicoot. The bilby is now known throughout Australia as Australia’s version of the Easter Bunny. Chocolate bilbies appear on store shelves in Australia every April to raise awareness for the native animal, which has lost 80% of its population in the last 200 years.

Alligator Gar
This terrifying fish is a relic of the dinosaur era, dating back 100 million years and reaching lengths of over eight feet. Their snouts resemble those of reptiles and contain rows of sharp teeth, as well as an adaptation that allows this fish to breathe air. Alligator gar are docile creatures that can be found peacefully swimming in freshwater rivers and lakes from the Rio Grande to the Missouri River, despite their intimidating size and weaponry.
