Comments on revised manuscript

I thank the authors for addressing the comments I previously provided and generally find them satisfactory. I have listed a few small typos below that I found and add a general comment on marsupial diurnality for the author’s consideration (though do not think that it necessitates further amendments to the text). I recommend the article for acceptance. Thank you for the opportunity to review it. Warm Regards, Charles Minor comments: -Line 16: “Critically endangered” is an official IUCN conservation status (e.g. the Woylie is critically endangered). As you point out later, IUCN lists numbats as “endangered”. To avoid confusion with the wrong conservation status, I would change this to just say “endangered” -Line 19: Chromium should be capitalized -Citation 13: Lists the Woylie’s IUCN report rather than numbat.

I happened to look back at this and in their supplements they list 5 other extant marsupial species as being diurnal (the broad-striped dasyure, western brush wallaby, whiptail wallaby, emilia’s short-tailed opossum, and shrewish short-tail opossum). That said, the literature on these species seems very sparse. I wouldn't insist that the authors change their comments on the numbat being uniquely diurnal among marsupials on the basis of a single paper and its particular choices about where the line between 'diurnal' and 'diurnal-crepuscular' lies. However, I do think the numbat’s singular status as a diurnal marsupial is a bit of a grey area.
