By teaching children about the Wildlife and Animals that live around us, we can help them develop respect for all forms of life. Understanding that we share this planet with other living creatures can also help children develop empathy and compassion for others #wildlife #nature #children #bluesky 🦔

Numbat. This small marsupial is known for its reddish coat, white stripes, and bushy tail. Unlike most marsupials, numbats are active by day, using their long sticky tongues to feast on thousands of termites daily🐜 Found in eucalyptus woodlands, they shelter in hollow logs and burrows for safety 🇦🇺
