Best Answer

No. Wombats and numbats are both marsupials, but they do not belong to the same marsupial order or family.

The wombat's order is Diprotodontia and its family is Vombatidae.

The numbat is classified in its own family, and has no close relatives. Its order is Dasyuomorphia and its family is Myrmecobiidae.
