Numbat

Also known as the banded anteater, the numbat uses its long tongue to lick up termites and ants.  It can eat 20,000 insects in one day.  The numbat uses its powerful forelegs to rip into rotting logs and earth mounds to find prey.  They are most active during the day and spend most of their time foraging alone.
