Off to the creek! Numbats are neat little animals
Numbat. This marsupial is known for its reddish coat, white stripes and bushy tail. Unlike most marsupials, numbats are active by day, using their long sticky tongues to feast on thousands of termites daily🐜 Numbats are now endangered, remaining one of Australia’s most unique and charming creatures.

Bonita tarde, amigos. 🤗
Numbats, animales raros de Australia y del mundo, que aunque lo parezcan, no tienen que ver con las ardillas. Se separaron de los marsupiales hace 40,000000 de años y son fósiles vivientes.
Comen exclusivamente termitas, unas 20,000 al día que atrapan
