EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and endangered numbat on high alert, showcasing the beauty and vulnerability of this remarkable creature. The numbat, also known as the Banded Anteater, is an insectivorous marsupial native to Australia. With its distinctive striped coat and slender body, it stands out against the backdrop of its natural habitat. The numbat's diet primarily consists of termites, making it a crucial player in maintaining ecological balance. However, with less than 1000 numbats remaining in the wild, their existence hangs precariously in the balance. This image serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect these unique species from further decline. Photographer Lea Scaddan has masterfully captured this moment of heightened awareness in the numbat's eyes. Every detail is brought to life through her lens - from the intricate patterns on its fur to the delicate positioning of its paws. The composition draws us into this intimate encounter with one of nature's most extraordinary creatures. As we gaze upon this stunning photograph, let us be reminded that each individual effort counts towards conserving our planet's biodiversity. It is up to us to ensure that future generations can continue to marvel at such awe-inspiring sights like this vigilant numbat amidst its diminishing population.
