Numbats are native to Australia and are found only in the southwestern corner of the country. Specifically, numbats are found in eucalyptus forests and woodland habitats of Western Australia, primarily in the area between Perth and Albany. They are diurnal and solitary animals that spend most of their time on the ground, although they are also capable of climbing trees. Numbats are considered endangered due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species such as foxes and feral cats.
