Wait for it! 😯 Numbats aren’t your typical marsupial mums! Unlike most marsupials, they don’t have a pouch. Their tiny joeys cling to their belly as she scurries around, munching through up to 20,000 termites a day. 🐜 We are the ONLY zoo in the world to breed endangered Numbats. Since 1993, we have released 321 numbats through our breed-for-release program. With fewer than 1,500 left in the wild, every joey truly matters. #NationalScienceWeek #ScienceWeek | Perth Zoo
