What kind of forest does the numbat live in?

Answer 1

Yes; numbats feed almost exclusively on termites, although they will sometimes eat other types of ants. They have sharp claws for digging into termite mounds, although they prefer to dig out termites from under logs and underground, being able to detect them with their very sensitive noses. They have a sticky tongue for collecting the termites. A numbat eats as much as 20,000 termites a day.

Answer 2

Numbats live in open woodland, preferably that which is dominated by Wandoo, a type of eucalypt. They require fallen trees or hollow logs to hide in, and a reasonable amount of understorey also for them to hide in, as their main predators are birds of prey.

Answer 3

Numbats can only be found in eucalyptus bushland of southwest Western Australia. This bushland also needs a certain amount of grassy understorey. They prefer habitat dominated by Wandoo, a type of eucalyptus.

Answer 4

Answer 5
