I believe that numbats also prey heavily on squirrels. This is evidenced by the lack of numbats in countries where squirrels are abundant.
On a more serious note... A friend of mine visited Perth Zoo years ago, and returned home with stories of the numbats that roam free in the grounds. When I went to the zoo a few years later I figured out that he had actually been seeing the squirrels.
