"The deliberate release of the European Red Fox in the 19th century, however, wiped out the entire Numbat populations in Victoria, NSW, South Australia, and the Northern Territory, and..."
So do these foxes directly hunt and eat Numbats ? Or do Numbats starve when these foxes grab all the resources first ?
Answer: The red fox eats the numbats. It is believed that numbats are most vulnerable to foxes in habitats where there aren't many logs for them to hide in (ie deserts). The foxes are able to dig them out of burrows but it's harder for them to get to numbats that can shelter in logs.
This species is apparently going to be trial released in the Arid Recovery reserve in Roxby Downs, sometime this year (2005). -- SydBoy 11:14, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In normal English usage, mammal names such as dog, cat, elephant, tiger and panda are not capitalized. When part of the name comes from a proper noun, that part is capitalized, like Asian elephant, Siberian tiger, English terrier. Does anyone have an objection to decapitalizing "numbat"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wakablogger2 ( talk • contribs) 06:10, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Having seen this kicked in and out of the header recently... I would actually favour including the "Not to be confused with Wombat" note. I personally had a hard time distinguising the buggers by name in my callow youth. Can't hurt, might help and seems uncontroversial. -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 08:54, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
I can be reverted with edit summaries, but expected to raise it on the talk if I want to change the article, eh? … I am reverted without edit summaries, then tendentiously noted as having added information without a citation. The citation is in the article … are you guys new here? Well, no, just lazy and privileged it seems, take a step back and discuss this. And can I have a specific line in WP:AT, "Although official, scientific, birth, original, or trademarked names are often used for article titles, the term or name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred.", that can mean something to a gut feeling interpretation, "use English [as I see it]" or it can be applied with the RS. cygnis insignis 14:01, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
