What is a numbat's behavior?

Numbats are small, timid marsupials which hide from predators and other possible threats in hollow logs and branches. Unlike other marsupials, they are completely diurnal, meaning they are active during the day and sleep at night.

Numbats may eat up to 10% of their own body weight in termites every day, which means they may eat up to 20,000 termites daily. 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.
