I don’t think I’ve ever heard any of these used to mean “dumb”, apart from “numbat”.
I was so sure some of these names were made up.

If only for a little extra oomph in your scrabble game.
Careful - some of these are Australian and will try to kill you.
Whats that middle one?
I was shocked an Aussie to learn that my American boyfriend had never heard of bilbies…
Wut dat noolbenger do doh?
The numbat looks so noble 😍
Fuzzy slinky
Australia used to have the “Easter bilby” in addition to the more common overseas Easter bunny. Sadly I think stores stopped selling chocolate Easter bilbies; I don’t recall seeing any this year.
I think the Easter Billy thing may have been a fund raiser for the Save the Bilby Fund, though I’m not sure. Did some work with them in Charleville some time back, as part of a student field trip looking at design concepts for what eventually became the Bilby Experience. Great people.
From what I can remember they’ve had good success in rebuilding the bilby population.
I are a choccie Bilby this Easter so definitely still around.
No Pika? My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

as an aussie, it’s pretty safe to assume marsupial… basically everything here is a marsupial
Where’s Muad’Dib?
No Phascogale? 🤔😁
