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.
