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.

Yes. The numbat is considered to be one of very few marsupials in Australia that is truly diurnal, rather than nocturnal or even partially nocturnal.

"Numbat" is already an aboriginal word. In the aboriginal dialect from which it came, it means "ant eater", although numbats actually eat termites, not ants.

A young finch is called a chick

Numbats avoid predators by hiding in logs, ground-level tree hollows or under rocks. Small and quick, they have little other defence other than the ability to hide.

The numbat is unique to Western Australia, although prior to European settlement it was widespread across southern Australia. Selecting it as the animal emblem helped to raise public awareness of the threats facing this marsupial, and awareness leads one step further away from extinction.

it is 20 centimeters long.

A baby numbat, known as a joey, stays with its mother for about ten months. It is weaned at about seven months.

The cat and tiger are most closely related, and are both of the family Felidae.

Even though the numbat and eastern barred bandicoot are both marsupials, that is where the similarities end.

Presumably the term 'tiger cat' refers to the quoll found in Australia. If so, then the quoll and the numbat are more closely related than the numbat and the bandicoot. Both the quoll and the numbat are dasyurids, or carnivorous and/or insectivorous marsupials, being members of the order Dasyuromorphia. The bandicoot is an omnivorous marsupial which belongs to the order Peramelemorphia.

No. The numbat is not a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal.

The numbat is a marsupial, which gives live birth.

Mutations in a numbat's DNA.

The introduced Red Fox and feral cats have contributed significantly to the numbat being endangered. Other species that eat the numbat include the Little Eagle, Brown Goshawk, Collared Sparrowhawk, and the Carpet Python.

The dingo is a predator of the numbat, while another native predator is the western quoll, a carnivorous marsupial.

A young starfish, or sea star, is called a larva, juvenile (young urchin), or pluteus (free-swimming stage).

Because the bones of the newborn are not yet finished in their development, transillumination is used upon birth to detect some conditions the baby may have, which you can check on Wikipedia, look up transillumination.

proprioception is important to keep balance as it involves the sending of messages from an affected or injured part of the body to the brain. eg balance can be affected after knee replacement surgery,the messages not getting to the brain cause you to jump as your body is uncertain where the leg is positioned.The movement causes the signals to activate the sensation again and balance is restored.

No, maggots are not the young of mosquitoes. Maggots are the larval stage of flies, particularly those in the family Calliphoridae, such as blowflies. Mosquitoes, on the other hand, undergo a different life cycle that includes egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages, with their larvae commonly referred to as "wigglers."
