Australian Endangered animals

Australia, one of the homes of hundreds of endangered animals, my favorite animal that is in endangered is the Numbat. It's pretty lines against it's back well he is not the only one here is a list of those who might go extincted like the pore Tasmanian Tiger it looked the same as Numbats with the strips on it's back. I was shocked when I first found out about them I was happy to have a Tiger in Australia.
