Sherbet the numbat



Numbats are adorable animals, but did you know there’s a reason why they’re so cute? The dark and light stripes on their back, and earthy colouring on the rest of their body, helps them camouflage themselves on the woodland floor among branches and twigs. And their pointy nose helps them reach termites in logs or holes!

Enter to win ‘Sherbet’ – this plush toy numbat – from www.bocchettaplushtoys.com! To be in the running, send us your ideas for how we could help this endangered Australian animal.
