Oh my, I thought it was a porcupine, but I read up and they are actually egg laying mammals. Very unusual animals. Glad you were able to see and capture an image of one.
@shutterbug49 Hi Debbie - they are indeed fabulous animals! They have an incredibly independent nature, a wonderfully different gait and a fabulous ability to curl up into an inaccessible ball of spikes. :)
Oh, how lovely. I haven't seen an echidna in the wild for ages. We used to see them regularly when our daughter lived on a 10-acre property in Victoria.
