Description I was inspired by Aboriginal art, I love the dots, swirls, and colors. The numbats at Perth zoo have a diet of termites and egg custard. I discovered these cute critters while researching for my next girl and animal ACEO set, I am obsessed, they are adorable!

Numbats are an endangered Australian marsupial, estimated wild population is about 1,000 individuals. Groups dedicated to numbat recovery include Perth Zoo
and Project Numbat .

Aw, he looks so happy I agree with Kat, I didn't know anything about this cute creature until you mentioned about them.

*heehee* Thanks Mayumi! My husband made me egg custard after I read the zoo was feeding the numbats that. I dunno how well I would like to eat termites though...

Do those cute guys eat egg custard with termites? Ew... Hope your egg custard didn't have crunchy bits in it
