Safe now....

Luckily our dog was on a leash when she found this Echidna roaming on the rock. After his initial fright it took him about 2 minutes to dig a safe position. Echidnas are awesome!!

Oh my! Good thing, your poor dog would have been in for quite a shock.

@partyof72015 Hi Brandi - You're right, she would have come out badly, but she might have also injured the echnida badly as he hadn't had a chance to dig in when she saw him. Lucky thing all round. Cheers

@granagringa Thanks for the nic comment Granagringa - it was just lucky that the camera had the correct settings in place already!! It was a mad scramble when she first saw him!! Cheers
