Description

Numbat Hand Puppet - C.A. AUSTRALIA The numbat is also known as the Banded Anteater. My guess is they prefer to be called the banded anteater over the numbat. This little marsupial can only be found in small colonies in Western Australia. Of course the majority of their diet is composed of termites. Unlike most marsupials the numbat is active mainly during the daylight hours. The numbat is required to wait until the termites are active in order to feed. Although they have fairly strong claws they are no match for the concrete-like termite mounds. The banded anteater is smart and applies the brains over brawn strategy for finding food. You see they wait until the termites are in the underground tunnels between their feeding sites and their protective mound. The numbat is able to sniff them out and strike them while they are vulnerable. Pretty smart of the little numbat isnt it?
