Have you heard of a numbat? The small endangered marsupial is unique even by Australian standards - with only a thousand left in the world - but some predator-free sanctuaries are hoping to save them. https://bbc.in/3jGpHUW | BBC News

#FridayFeels: This numbat has a very good reason to be sleepy—it needs to eat up to 20,000 termites every day! The Numbat is the only Australian marsupial fully active by day, thanks to its unique diet. While it has powerful claws for its size, unlike other termite predators, it can’t tear apart tough termite mounds. Instead, it relies on its incredible sense of smell to find termite galleries, targeting them while termites are active—during the day! As climate extremes worsen, the numbat faces

How cute are numbats? A numbat's diet consists solely of termites. 🐜 They are special among Australian mammals as the only marsupials active exclusively during the day, which is when termites are active. A numbat needs to eat about 20,000 termites a day! What's the cutest Aussie marsupial you've spotted in the wild? #ausgeo #seeaustralia #marsupial #naturedocumentary | Australian Geographic

Can you spot a numbat? It's thought that there are less than 1,000 numbats alive today, but that's only an estimate. That's where Numbat Discovery comes in: it's a citizen science project designed to help us learn just how many numbats there are, so we can better protect them. Anyone can do it, from anywhere - so get spotting! https://wwfau.org/2Gapyo9 | WWF-Australia

Witness the special moment this Numbat rose with the sun to greet its new home for the first time. 🌞 It's World Numbat Day, and we have a lot to celebrate! Though this endangered species came close to extinction twice in the last century, it's making a comeback thanks to translocations to our feral predator-free sanctuaries and partnership properties. 📈 AWC protects around 40% of the entire Numbat population and the only Numbat populations that are not in decline. 🌱 Protected populations now
