This is not a quoll but it is a dasyuromorph. It is a numbat. I declare this to be Numbat Week. There will be photographs of numbats all week.

Numbats are the faunal symbol of Western Australia. They eat a diet of nothing but termites, and since termites are more inclined to be active when it’s warm, so numbats adapted to be one of only two marsupials active during the day. Marsupials tend to be either crepuscular or fully nocturnal.

This numbat has a face full of leaves it’s using to line a den with.
