Numbats, small marsupials native to Australia, are not particularly fast runners. They can reach speeds of up to 30 km/h (about 18.6 mph) in short bursts when needed. However, they primarily rely on their agility and climbing ability rather than sustained speed to evade predators and navigate their environment.
Numbats are most prone to being killed by non-native predators such as foxes and feral cats. As more of their habitat is cleared due to agriculture, there are fewer hiding places for numbats. Numbats are also vulnerable to bushfires. Bushfires are more likely to occur due to changed fire regimes resulting from European settlement. 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.
Numbats have soft fur.
No. Numbats walk on four legs, and even though they are not fast-moving animals, they do not waddle.

Numbats are native to Australia.

its not how fast the rottweiler can run its how fast you can run !
The greatest threat to numbats would be the fox, an introduced species. It is closely followed by feral cats in the threat it poses to numbats.
During breeding season, numbats make a soft clicking sound. This soft clicking is also heard from young numbats calling to their mothers, but it is different to the adult sound. Numbats have also been known to make soft growling or hissing noises to warn off other numbats.
Numbats drink water. Baby numbats drink mothers' milk.
