The Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is a marsupial that lives in areas of eucalypt forests in Western Australia; the species has been recently reintroduced to South Australia. The Numbat has a finely pointed muzzle and a prominent, bushy tail. They vary considerably in color from soft gray to red-brown, and there is often an area of brick red on the upper back. A black stripe runs from the tip of the muzzle through the eyes, to the bases of the small, round-tipped ears. There are between four and eleven white stripes across the animal’s hindquarters. As insectivores, the Numbat mostly eats termites.
