echidna surprise!!!

Took my youngest son to his tennis lesson at the local tennis courts, we were there just at the right time to spot this wonderful Echidna strolling along.
He soon curled up in a ball when he realised we were there. I have had one walk beside my house before but that was a long time ago!!

It looks huge compared to our hedgehogs. Those prickles look extra nasty.

@kiwiniknak He was fairly big. Still cute though
