How many babies do numbats have?
There are more numbats in the wild than there are in captivity. The captive population is constantly changing. There are not many numbats in zoos, and the only zoo that has them is Perth Zoo in Western Australia. Two animals sanctuaries have numbats: Yookamurra in South Australia and Scotia in New South Wales, the latter allowing no public access to its sanctuary. The aim of keeping a few breeding numbats in captivity is so that new individuals can be released into the wild, rather than for display.
