The data this week comes from the Atlas of Living Australia.
This numbat page talks about these endangered species in greater detail.
A csv file of numbat sightings is provided. The code to refresh the data is here.
Questions that would be interesting to answer are:
- Where do you find numbats in Australia?
- Was the distribution more widespread historically? (You may need to exclude zoo reported observations.)
- What time of day do numbat sightings occur?
- Are they more frequent in the summer or winter?
- Are numbats seen more on sunny and warm days than cloudy, wet, cold days?
- Do sightings happen more on week days than weekends?
