Welcome to Numbat Facts.

Numbats are the only member of the family Myrmecobiidae. This saves them a great deal of money not buying presents this time of year.

All I know is that family name has some reference to ants.

Yes! And eating them. Same base Greek word for soldiers at Troy being called myrmidons.

Specifically Achilles’ soldiers - presumably wore armour that resembled ant thoraxes. Bit of a change from the standard boar’s tusk helmet popular on the day.

Very pretty. I could only see a sliver of it from my window. That is the only downside of having a day off work, the building I work in has awesome views of the sunrise over the Dandenongs.
