Yes, the love child of the Easter Bunny and an anteater.

CellarDweller:
I got 6 out of 7, missing the last one.

Front-Ranger:
I scored three out of seven, a pretty poor showing! This question made me laugh: "For many children, Easter's religious associations are overshadowed by its more modern, cultural ones." and then it goes on about the Easter Bunny. These "more modern" associations are actually the more ancient ones that were adopted by the early Christians to make Christianity more palatable to the general masses.

brianr:
I got 6 out of 7. I had no idea about the kite flying.
I did have an advantage with the Bilby. For many years our family have given each other Easter chocolate bilbies not bunnies. Remember that in Australia and New Zealand, rabbits are a menace with many methods including diseases being introduced to wipe them out but you only need to leave 2 and they rapidly multiply. All because some silly Englishmen wanted to introduce sport back in the 19th Century. The same goes for foxes.
Money from  the sale of cholcolate bilbies goes to conservation. I think they are cute although I have ony seen them in cages.
