Not exactly. Numbats are insectivorous and feed almost exclusively on termites, although they will sometimes eat other types of ants. They have sharp claws for digging into termite mounds, although they prefer to dig out termites from under logs and underground, being able to detect them with their very sensitive noses. They have a sticky tongue for collecting the termites. A numbat eats as much as 20,000 termites a day.

No. Strictly speaking, a numbat is an insectivore, rather than a carnivore, feeding almost exclusively on termites.
