"Baby numbats have been spotted at two wildlife sanctuaries in Mallee Cliffs national park, New South Wales, Australia. Despite both looking and sounding like a CBeebies animated character, the numbat is in fact one of Australia's rarest marsupials.

Striking wildlife scenes capture diverse global conservation and animal behavior moments. A ladyfish snatches prey beneath an egret in a prize-winning Behaviour: Birds photograph taken at Yundang Lake in southeast China. Rio de Janeiro restored Rodrigo de Freitas lagoon by diverting a bike path to reduce flooding and revive the ecosystem, where a family of ten capybaras now thrives. Lira, a three-year-old lioness rescued from wartorn Ukraine, received surgery to remove a severely infected canine caused by earlier trauma. Observations also include playful numbats reintroduced to predator-free sanctuaries at Mallee Cliffs and a European tree frog housed at Celtic Rewilding, once native to the UK.
