Eggy and the Numbat

Eggy meets a numbat, or banded anteater, a cute but endangered Australian marsupial, which I photographed in Perth zoo earlier this year. Eggy was unmoved and said what he really wanted was some of those nice biscuits with the catchy name ("Urinary S/O"). There was a time when he would hunt and eat rabbit and vole and mouse, but now he says he's old and biscuits will do fine.
