Numbats prey on termites, ants, and insects.

What is a numbat predator?

The main threat to Numbats is predation by introduced predators – foxes and cats. This threat of predation is exacerbated by other factors including habitat loss and fragmentation from land clearing, which also makes Numbats more vulnerable to birds of prey such as Wedge-tailed Eagles and falcons.

Do numbats eat insects?

Diet: Insectivorous

They eat up to 20,000 termites a day. Numbats do not need to drink water because they get enough water from the termites they eat.
