Numbats are small marsupials, easily-able by the wide black and white bands across their rumps. Once widespread, they are now only found in a small pocket of south-west Western Australia. The clearing of land and introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats are responsible for their demise. The shelter in burrows and hollow logs, eating termites and some ants.
