  Wikipedia: Numbat
The numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is an endangered small marsupial native to western and southern Australia with a number of unique features.
The Numbat is the sole member of the family Myrmecobiidae, one of the three families that make up the order Dasyuromorphia, the generalised marsupial carnivores.
The old common name for the Numbat, Banded Anteater has fallen into disuse, but was unusually appropriate: the Numbat does have a series of 5 to 7 white bands crossing its lower back and rump, and it does eat ants, although only accidentally: its primary, almost exclusive, diet is termites.

 Nature Feature - Numbat
The Numat is the only living member of the Myrmecobiidae family and it appears to be seriously endangered.
Given the prevalence of ants and termites in Australia, it is surprising that only one marsupial utilises this food resource and that it is a rather small animal with unspecialised forelimbs.
The Numbat is the only member of the family Myrmecobiidae and the only marsupial adapted to feeding exclusively on colonial insects.

This order contains three recent families, Dasyuridae (dasyurids, including an amazing array of mouse- to dog-sized insectivorous or carnivorous species, Myrmecobiidae (containing just the numbat or marsupial anteater), and Thylacinidae (restricted the the probably-extinct thylacine or Tasmanian wolf).
Dasyuromorphs are said to be modern representatives of a sort of basal stock of australodelphian marsupials, from which other Australian families arose.
