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

Whether your designing t-shirts for Redbubble or knocking up some cheap arse web-comic, you’ll have a hardly earned thirst for the best cold beer. And the best cold beer is Voluminous Beer. The more you drink, the more friends you’ll have. Voluminous Beer- for that hardly earned thirst. Matter of fact I’ve got it now….

Worn Echidna is an extension from the original series of 9 Animal Designs that were 4” x 4” canvas blocks created at end of 2007. Rather than using the selected blue, pink or yellow I’ve chosen a more muted tone with grey and black in acrylics and inks on a distressed photo that I took. The animal design series represents what we could be left with if we don’t take care of nature and all it’s creatures. With their charming toy like appearance, they could just end up like childhood memories.

Here’s something I came up with during these long few weeks. I wanted to try a different style altogether. I’ve been watching a lot of anime and been really inspired, specifically by sci-fi anime for quite a while now. I decided to create some kinda exaggerated war machine based on an animal – the echidna. It took a while to draw up in illustrator from my original drawing but it was all worth it. Thanks go to Dan for suggesting a cassette player built into the machine.

This is a regular view I have on a hot summers day from the kitchen window of what’s normally a bird bath. Echidnas are equally adapted for snow in winter too. They breed in winter so, at that time of year, they’re out and about on the lookout for a mate. Lovelorn male echidnas often queue up behind a female, nose to tail, up to ten echidnas long forming long trains ambling in a line through the bush. These trains are the first part of the strange echidna courtship and mark the begining of the breeding season. © Ern Mainka Echidna – Wikipedia -

A thirsty Echidna after three days of around 43C daytime heat and min. 30C night time temps. 1st Feb 2009, near Yarra Glen, Victoria. This was a record breaking heatwave being three consecutive days above 40C. Echidnas obtain most of their water needs from the / animals they eat (mainly termites) but they will also occasionally drink from pools or lick droplets of water from plants moistened by dew or rain. Short-beaked Echidnas are typically active in the daytime, however, they are ill-equipped to deal with heat, because they have no sweat glands and do not pant. Therefore, in warm weather they change their pattern of activity, becoming active at dawn or dusk or nocturnal. They can tolerate cold temperatures, and hibernate during the winter in very cold regions. Unfortunately many possums nesting in tree hollows and house roofs have suffered in this recent heatwave. The RSPCA were inundated with dehydrated possums and other animals. Brushtail possums were seen desperately drinking seawater on coastal beaches.

In Aboriginal culture it is important to give help to anymore who asks for it. Helping and sharing benefits everyone and the community could not survive if everyone didn’t adhere to this principle. The Echidna Man takes us during Dreamtime and gives us a few lessons, divulging secrets we may never want to impart.

The Echidna (or Spiny Ant-eater) Echidnas grow up to 50cm (20”) in length. Their backs and sides are covered with spines and coarse hair. They have small eyes and the ears have no outer part, being mere vertical slits. It has a long, black, tubular snout with a small mouth and long narrow, sticky tongue to gather up their food. The nostrils are at the tip of the snout. It has no teeth. The Echidna has short strong feet with sharp claws. It waddles when it walks.A short-beaked species with strong and numerous spines is widely distributed throughout the mainland. The Tasmanian species is larger and more hairy. / /

Echidna and the wombat after the snow starts to melt. / Cradle Mountian – Tasmania

This Echidna was in my back yard last night Echidnas are small mammals that are covered with coarse hair and spines. Superficially they resemble the anteaters of South America, and other spiny mammals like hedgehogs and porcupines. They have snouts which have the functions of both the mouth and nose. Their snouts are elongated and slender. They have very short, strong limbs with large claws and are powerful diggers. Echidnas have a tiny mouth and a toothless jaw. They feed by tearing open soft logs, anthills and the like, and use their long, sticky tongue which protrudes from their snout to collect their prey. The Short-beaked Echidna’s diet consists largely of ants and termites, while the Zaglossus species typically eat worms and insect larvae. The long-beaked echidnas have tiny spines on their tongues that help capture their meals. Echidnas and the Platypus are the only egg-laying mammals, known as monotremes. The female lays a single soft-shelled, leathery egg twenty-two days after mating and deposits it directly into her pouch. Hatching takes ten days; the young echidna, called a puggle, then sucks milk from the pores of the two milk patches (monotremes have no nipples) and remains in the pouch for forty-five to fifty-five days, at which time it starts to develop spines. The mother digs a nursery burrow and deposits the puggle, returning every five days to suckle it until it is weaned at seven months. Male echidnas have a four-headed penis, but only two of the heads are used during mating. The other two heads “shut down” and do not grow in size. The heads used are swapped each time the mammal copulates. /

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.
