Echidnas are toothless and feed almost exclusively on ants and termites. They are equipped with a long sticky tongue that extends perhaps 17 centimeters beyond the end of the snout. Long spines cover the body and fur is present between them. About two weeks after mating occurs, a single soft-shelled egg is deposited directly into the pouch and hatches after 10 days. Because the echidna does not have teats, the baby clings to specialized hairs within the pouch, where it suckles milk oozing from the mother’s mammary glands. When disturbed, the echidna either curls into a spiny ball to protect its soft underside, or digs its belly into the soil, so that only the spines are exposed. Males have a spur on the ankle of the hind leg but, unlike that of the platypus, it is not venomous Note the Spur in this photo

We came across this little Echidna waddling / beside a road near Bunyip, Victoria, Australia. / Any hint of movement or noise and he would / quickly bury himself. I remained very still, / barely breathing and he finally mustered the / courage to continue on. What a darling he was! / . / Read about my wildlife photography here

Numbat Myrmecobius fasciatus. Numbats usually scamper around on all fours and unlike many Australian mammals they do not have a pouch. Instead the babies stay attached to her four teats for approximately 6 months with her belly hairs offering scant protection. This female Numbat stood momentarily to reveal the four babies attached to her teats. It was a remarkable sight to witness. Thankfully I had the camera as it is probably something I will never witness again. The Numbat is listed as Endangered in the 2008 IUCN Red List / Photo taken in Dryandra Woodland

This is one of the designs from my coloring book, ‘Cosmic Animal Wisdom—A Coloring Experience For All Ages’, which is a collection of 50+ of my animal drawings, each with a simple statement of that animal’s wisdom. i drew all the designs with sharpies (permanent markers), scanned them in, and they were printed into a coloring book. Anteater teaches us how to dig and uncover our own answers. /

Having poor eyesight and to short a tongue did not give the anteater much chance for a Happy Meal…and being taunted by his food only made matters worse! /

I’ve waited for ages to see this guy out and about during daylight and I got my chance the other day. This is Ernesto, a Giant Anteater (myrmecophaga tridactyla) at Marwell WIldlife! Must need a lot of ants to feed this enormous guy (for those who don’t know how big these guys are, he’s the size of largish bear). Canon EOS 50D with Canon EF 70-200mm L IS f/4

An Echidna, an Australian native and who shares a unique trait with just one other animal, the Platypus. / They’re both monotremes, meaning they lay eggs and they have a pouch like a kangaroo. / The female Echidna will usually lay just one egg and deposit it in her pouch. When the young echidna, called a puggle, hatches, it suckles from teats in the pouch until it’s grown spines at which time mum thinks it’s a little uncomfortable and digs a nursery burrow for it. / The adults eat ants and termites digging for them with strong claws and then sucking them up with a sticky tongue. mmm yum!! / I found this one this morning on my property near Launceston, Tasmania.
