Numbat

The Numbat, or known as the banded anteater (due to its appearance), is a small endangered marsupial animal native to Australia. Numbats are special because they have long sticky tongues that allows them pick up termites, which make up their exclusive diet. Unfortunately Numbats are endangered due to many factors, of which the most concerning is Habitat destruction. As a result there are fewer than 1,000 Numbats left in the wild.
