Habitat
The Numbat is only found in souther and western Australia and across to the northwestern New South Wales. In these areas they tend to stay in places that are forest and woodlands. As well as logs, particularly the ones that are made up of eucalyptus trees. But they have also been found in grasslands that are pretty close to water. They live in such places because they are what we call, solitary animals. Meaning they have larger home ranges, ranges that are about 370 acres. In those 370 acres they spend the day hunting for termites and the night sleeping in their logs. They pick logs that are small, so their predators like fox, can't get in. But lets say they did get in, what does it do to defend itself? Well, it turn its rump, which is extremely thick-skinned, to plug a hole and protect itself.
