Animal of the week...
Numbat
The numbat is an animal native to Australia. It originates from Western Australia. It is a small animal and despite it being a marsupial, it doesn't have a pouch.
#1- Numbats are omnivores which means they eat both meat (numbats eat insects) plants. They can also be classified as insectivores since most of their diet consists of insects, especially termites.
#2- Numbats don't need to drink water because of the amount of termites they consume can replace water.
#3- Unfortunately, numbats can only live up to around 5 years.
#4- Their tongues are long and sticky, perfect for getting in termite nests to eat small insects.
#5- Numbats are endangered from being killed by non-native animals such as foxes, they are small and defenseless making them an easy mean for a fox or cat.
Stay fluffy,
