Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), family Myrmecobiidae, order Dasyuromorphia, Western Australia
ENDANGERED.
Sometimes referred to as the "Marsupial Anteater", and like "true anteaters", they actually eat mainly termites.
Once wide spread across Australia, they are now only found in small colonies in Western Australia and NSW.
