Are there numbats in the Pilbara?

Answer 1

No. there are more koalas than numbats. Koalas are found over a wider ranging area than numbats. Estimates of the koala population in Australia range between 80,000 and 100,000. Estimates of the numbat population, by contrast, are between 900 and 1500.

Answer 2

No. The numbat was once widespread across parts of Australia, but now they are restricted to just a few pockets in southwestern Australia. They are not found as far north as the Pilbara.
