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. Please join The Phoenix Appeal and see all the other artists that are helping victims of The Bushfires in whatever way they can. Your work counts and Australia needs your support….Please Help! Please visit all the appeal groups that have been set up on Redbubble the Phoenix Appeal for the Victorian Bushfires and the associated Phoenix Group & The Victorian Bushfires Wildlife Appeal and the associated Wildlife Appeal Group Music – Tchaikovsky

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

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.

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.

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….

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 -

Echidna had to share his tucker with one of his neighbours, much to his disapproval!! He didn’t want to share and flashed his spines and covered his food to say so. But Magpie came over just as soon as the human carer left a dish of food and wasn’t at all fussed by the spines or the fact that most of the dish got covered as soon as he had one go at trying to duck in to nick something. / I took heaps of photos, all showing the maggie either getting nudged away or the echidna shuffling around in circles over his dish (and eating at the same time… maybe its a girl cos of the great multitasking!!). Eventually, the maggie got a bit. I reckon the echidna must have been getting full… and we’re all a bit slower when we’re full up!! The maggie did a bit of a happy dance before flying off to the nest!! I reckon they were both friends… just having a game at lunchtime! Taken at Urimburra, Victor Harbor, South Australia… home of happy native animals, mostly rescued and definitely much loved.

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

20×16” oil painting on canvas The Long-beaked Echidna is one of few mammals that lays eggs like the platypus. The Echidna’s habitat is in danger due to logging, mining and farming, but is mostly endangered due to being hunted with trained dogs as they are a prized trophy animal. The Long-beaked Echidna is on the FOCAL list of Edge of Existance species, and if you would like to learn more about it, visit here: http://www.edgeofexistence.org/mammals/species_info.php?id=2 In this painting, I portray a lone echidna in a broken habitat, half-encircled in a large translucent eggshell. The echidna needs humanity to assist if it is to continue to live.
