      People who dump their pets will make their pets not only go into the forest but eat and kill numbats for food. This makes the population of numbats go down.

      Nice question, Kanin. I think you should have a go at answering this yourself – it’s Google-able! Try using the word CLIMATE in your search and look for the name of the largest town near the Dryandra Forest. Good luck!
