How tall is a numbat?
Numbats, being mammals, reproduce sexually. Breeding occurs during Australia's summer months, and the gestation period is about 14 days. As they are marsupials, they give birth to live young which are undeveloped, hairless and about the size of a jellybean. At birth, numbats joeys, of which there are usually 2-4, crawl by instinct to the mother's teats which then swell in their mouth. The numbat is unusual because, unlike other marsupials, it does not have a closed pouch. the joeys cling to the mother's underbelly until they are three to four months old. After this time, the joeys are left in a burrow during the day while the mother finds food. They may be transported on her back to new shelters. Young joeys are ready to leave the mother at nine to ten months old, whereupon they move away from the mother's territory to establish their own territory. Numbats are ready to reproduce at about one year old. Their lifespan is 3-4 years in the wild, and up to 6 years in captivity.
