Both these enigmatic creatures have stripes, but that’s not where the similarity ends—as much as 95% of their DNA may be identical.. Decoding the full numbat genome therefore raises the tantalizing ...

To make the New Numbat Artificial Diet, mix together powdered cat chow, hen's eggs and water. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes and cool. Add calcium carbonate, a vitamin-mineral supplement ...

The numbat is one of the Tasmanian tiger’s closest surviving relatives. And its newly sequenced genome raises the possibility of piecing together the genetic code of its extinct fellow marsupial.

Numbats also happen to be Western Australia’s animal emblem. “The mapping of the numbat genome is a wonderful scientific achievement which will play a crucial role in our conservation efforts ...

A UWA PhD student has developed a survey technique indicating the state’s endangered numbat population is twice as big as previously thought. But remaining habitats do not have the same ...

13 Numbats will be released into 'the wild' at Dryandra Woodlands after living in Perth Zoo since birth. The endangered species are part of the world's only Numbat Recovery Program.

Numbats are built to handle the heat. The stripy marsupial, Myrmecobius fasciatus, regulates body temperature through raising or flattening its fur, to save energy managing thermoregulation, since ...

MOST Australians have heard of wombats, but few could place the numbat. Both marsupials are among 315 mammal species that roamed Australia at the time of the first European settlement in the late ...
