I can see the resemblance with thylacine

[@AnimalFactFiles]

I totally see what you mean!

[@vickibrown8490]

I have a tattoo of a numbat on my arm. Numbats are only found in a few small pockets in Western Australia. There are about 900 left. It was even less, until Perth zoo started a breed & release program. Their biggest threats are feral cats & foxes. What’s cuter than a numbat? A baby numbat.💕

[@amaranthasmr5052]

If someone were to tell me that this was one of the prehistoric first mammals, I would have believed you.

[@aetherslugstar1889]

Oh my God it looks like a little ant eating squirl!

[@ericjay6021]

I thought so too

[@Col28]

Adorable! I'd never heard of numbats prior to this video. Thanks!

[@milhouse7794]

Australia has the most unique animal species. The platypus is the strangest.

[@Alexinytown]

Saw this animal on a kid's menu at Outback. Looked it up and have not regretted it.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

On the menu like... for eating?! 😲

[@Alexinytown]

@@AnimalFactFiles Haha I think it was to color but I like where you went with that

[@gregorymurphy3234]

I love your videos, have you done a video on Okapis or Hippos

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Thank you! We haven't done those, so we'll get them on our list! =)

[@georgesmith1127]

[@AnimalFactFiles]

We're glad you like the content! And, hey, you found us so something's going right. ;)

[@aetherslugstar1889]

I have an interesting animal for you, think you could do an episode of sea pens?

[@AnimalFactFiles]

You always have the most interesting suggestions! We'll definitely look into them. =)

[@HassanMohamed-jy4kk]

Why don’t you get to make suggestion and think about creating another KZbin Videos all about the extinct Tasmanian Tigers, also known as Thylacines, or Tasmanian Wolves on the Animal Fact Files for the few couple of days or for the next few couple of weeks coming up next?!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍

[@sherylosullivan9619]

joannas? it's goannas, with a hard 'g'. Surely Australia is not the only country with goannas.

[@AnimalFactFiles]

Yes this was our bad. We pronounced it incorrectly 😅
