What do numbat?

Answer 1

A numbat spends much of its time hiding from predators and seeking termites and ants in its habitat. It is a small, pouchless marsupial of Australia, found only in southwest Western Australia.

Numbats shelter in hollow logs and shallow burrows in bushland (eucalyptus woodland) with sufficient grassy undergrowth to give them nesting material for their burrows, and some protection from predators.

One of the few truly diurnal marsupials, numbats forage for food during the day. They 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.
