The numbat is a small, squirrel-sized marsupial of Australia. It is not related to squirrels at all, as Australia does not have squirrels. It feeds exclusively on termites. A strikingly attractive animal, it does have a bushy tail, though not as bushy as a squirrel's. It is unique in the way it holds its tail straight up when it is moving.
