Numbat

The Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is a small marsupial endemic to Western
Australia. The Numbat is the sole member of the genus Myrmecobius and the
family Myrmecobiidae, one of the three families that make up the order
Dasyuromorphia, the generalised marsupial carnivores. Another common name for
the Numbat was Banded Anteater, though this has now fallen into disuse. Though
it will in fact consume ants, its diet otherwise consists almost exclusively
of termites. The Numbat is a small, colourful creature between 20 and a little
under 30 cm long, with a finely pointed muzzle and a prominent, bushy tail
about the same length as its body. Colour varies considerably, from soft grey
to reddish-brown, often with an area of brick red on the upper back, and
always with a conspicuous black stripe running from the tip of the muzzle
through the eyes to the bases of the small, round-tipped ears. The underside
is cream or light grey; weight varies between 280 and 550 grams.
