In Dalhousie springs, there is a large amount of living animals. This includes; reptiles, birds, mammals and plants. Many animals that live in this area would have adapted so they could survive. One of these animals would be the Spotted Grass Frog. The Spotted Grass Frog has adapted to the desert. These desert adapted frogs usually emerge during warm wet nights to feed. The Bilby has adapted too. With their big ears and sharp claws. The large ears have several purposes. The main reason for having large ears is for something called “thermo regulation” (to cool the bilby). Blood flows quickly into the thin tissue around the Bilby 's ears, preventing them from getting too hot during the day and from losing body heat quickly at night.
