Four juvenile numbats have been spotted at Secret Rocks on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula for the first time, sparking new hope for the region's reintroduction program.

"We reintroduced some numbats last November-December, and this is the first time they've bred since then," Ecological Horizons ecologist Katherine Moseby said.

"We've got four juveniles we've spotted on camera outside one of our female's burrows so it's really exciting."

They can be really sort of cryptic when they have pouch young, they deposit them in the nest and then they kind of hide the entrance of the nest so they're quite hard to find."
