A numbat is the size of a cat.
Numbats live in forests in Western Australia.
They have reddish fur.
They have white stripes on their back.
They have a fluffy tail.
Numbats eat white ants called termites.
The termites stick
to the numbat's long sticky tongue.
Numbats sleep in hollow logs at night.
Baby numbats stay in a nest.
When they are bigger they ride on their mother's back .
So many numbats have been killed by foxes that there are not many left.
