The numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is a small marsupial that was once found across most of southern Australia. It is now restricted to a few isolated pockets in southwest Western Australia as well as two small re-introduced populations in New South Wales and South Australia.With an estimated wild population of less than 1000, the species faces the threat of extinction. Numbat Day is a day to celebrate Western Australia’s unique mammal emblem and to encourage action to conserve the species. You can help numbats by encouraging responsible pet ownership, spreading the word about the marsupial’s plight and never removing hollow logs from the bush. The Numbat is under threat from habitat loss and introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats. With an estimated population of fewer than 1000 individuals, help is needed to protect the future of this unique marsupial. Perhaps that's what @Terrordales has been doing. I'm sure I've seen him use the word 'Numbat' on a number of occasions.
We have the British equivalent, they will never become extinct, you see them everywhere breed like mad and quite frankly are more of a pest than attraction. What are they?? Yes sorry Overhere We call them Numbskulls!
