Is the numbat a vertebrate or invertebrate?

Answer 1

Yes. A numbat is a striped marsupial of Australia. It is one of the few marsupials which does not have a fully developed pouch. The young are still born undeveloped, and cling to the mother's underbelly, whilst still firmly attached to her teats for their first few months of life.

Answer 2

No. Numbats are entirely insectivores, feeding only on termites and ants.

Answer 3

Strictly speaking, a numbat is an insectivore, rather than a carnivore, feeding almost exclusively on termites.

Answer 4

Yes, a numbat is a marsupial, but unlike other marsupials, it does not have a pouch.

Answer 5

Yes, the numbat is a small native mammal found in Western Australia. Specifically, it is a marsupial, but unlike other marsupials, it does not have a pouch.

Answer 6

Numbats are vertebrates, like all mammals.
