Spiney Ant Eater, Trunkey Creek, NSW. by

© C J Lewis. Taken in 1976 using a Nikon SLR, 35mm film camera. Processing and printing done by self in studio.

I almost ran over this little fellow so stopped to see if he was okay and he started to roll up into a ball for self-protection as I approached but soon sensed I was no danger to him so jumped up and ran into the bush after I took his photo :)
