Best Answer

Numbats' weight ranges between about 280 grams and 550 grams - just over half a kilogram. In imperial measurement, this is the equivalent of between 9.8 ounces and 19.4 ounces. Some larger specimens may weigh up to 715 grams.

A numbat is about the size of a squirrel - around 25cm in length (not counting the tail). Nose to tail length averages between 35-45cm (13-18 inches).

Some websites incorrectly list their height as 60cm. They are much smaller than this. When sitting on their haunches, their height is about 25 cm.
