It provides refuge for a variety of fauna including numbats, goannas, echidnas and Tammar wallabies. Numbats are insectivores and subsist on a diet of termites. Perth Zoo has been breeding numbats for release into the wild since 1986. Numbats also possess a sternal scent gland, which may be used for marking their territories. Numbats breed in February and March (late austral summer), normally producing one litter a year.
