Numbats typically live up to 5-6 years in the wild, although they can live up to 10 years in captivity with proper care.
Numbats, also known as banded anteaters, are small marsupials native to Western Australia. They feed almost exclusively on termites and are considered endangered due to habitat loss and predation by introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats. Conservation efforts, including captive breeding and reintroduction programs, are underway to help protect and conserve this unique and charismatic species.
