No. The numbat is not like an armadillo. It does not roll into any spherical shape when threatened. Its only defence is to hide in hollow logs and crevices in trees or rocks.

Why are numbats threatened?

Numbats are in a worse position than being threatened - they are officially endangered. The primary cause of numbats being endangered is the introduction of non-native species to Australia. Introduced species such as foxes, and feral cats and dogs, pose a considerable threat to the numbat. It is a small, quite defenceless creature, only able to protect itself by hiding in hollow logs. Another reason is habitat loss. Their habitat has been cleared for industry, agriculture and expanding human habitation. Bushfires and changed fire regimes have also contributed to the numbats' endangerment. Bushfires destroy the numbats' habitat, including the logs in which it shelters. Numbats are not fast-moving creatures, and they cannot escape bushfires, which can move very quickly.
