Numbats

Birds tweeting, bees buzzing,
The numbat hides away.
Creeping crawling, hunting for termites,
In Southern Australia there are only 1,000 numbats left, decreasing by the minute.
Struggling to hunt, to eat, to feed.
Long tongue, fuzzy body, white stripes,
Ears that hear everything.
Eyes looking in every direction,
Stepping, creeping, jumping, meeping,
Their fear is quiet like them.
Foxes, cats and eagles, we need to take action,
We have to save them.
Numbats are so important to Australia!
