How do numbats protect themselves from predators?

The sun. Numbats live in a very hot climate, so in summer, they take shelter during the day to avoid overheating. They eat in the early morning and late afternoon. (In winter, they eat throughout the day, but go out later and return to shelter earlier.) Additionally, numbats avoid their predators: mainly, the Little Eagle, the Brown Goshawk, the Collared Sparrowhawk, and the Carpet Python.
