Stripy, pointy-nosed and one of Australia's rarest and most beautiful small mammals - our printable numbat mask is a real hidden gem! The numbat is a tiny marsupial that feeds exclusively on termites and is found only in small areas of Western Australia. With those gorgeous white stripes and russet coat, this mask is as striking as it is unusual. Perfect for Australian animals school plays, conservation projects, World Book Day, and birthday parties.

The numbat is critically endangered with fewer than 1,000 remaining in the wild - making this mask a powerful conversation starter for conservation topics and one of the most meaningful choices in the Australian animals collection. Every mask comes with a full colour version AND a black and white line art version for colouring in.

5 Interesting Facts About Numbats!

Numbats are one of only two marsupials that are active exclusively during the day - all other Australian marsupials are nocturnal or crepuscular, making the numbat quite unusual.
They eat nothing but termites - up to 20,000 per day - using a long, sticky tongue that can extend almost half the length of their body to reach deep into termite galleries.
Unlike most marsupials, numbats have no pouch - the joeys cling to their mother's fur and are dragged along the ground until they're large enough to be left in a burrow.
There are fewer than 1,000 numbats left in the wild, all in Western Australia - they were once found across southern Australia but introduced foxes and cats reduced the population to near extinction.
The numbat is the faunal emblem of Western Australia - it appears on state government logos and has become a symbol of Australia's broader wildlife conservation challenges.
