A surprise find

I was at Tower Hill today looking for the elusive family of emus when we spotted an echidna instead! My sister was with me and she was very happy as she has never seen one in the wild :)

How great to see. Sadly I saw one dead on the side of the road today :(

They remind me of our porcupines, which we have here but have always eluded us.

I haven't seen an echidna in the wild for ages. My daughter used to get quite a few on her property in Olinda.

@rickster549 Yes Rick, i was hoping he would climb up on the lg - instead he went under it! Never mind, I'm sure I'll come across another one in an open space when the weather gets hotter :)

I had to google this to find out more about it!
Great capture in the wild :)

Haha, I had to google it too! @4rky Pleased I'm not the only one :)

[Denise Wood]

@4rky @suzanne234 Thanks for taking the time to google an echidna. They are a very shy animal but hopefully with more sunshine I'll be able to find another one in full view :)

[Suzanne]
