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
This little guy hatched today. His egg still attatced to one foot was gently removed by Jan which greatly assisted in his mobility. The eggs are approx 5mm in size, we’ve 138 to go… Photo Information: / 27th October 2008 EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM / Focal Length: 60.0mm Aperture: 11.0 / Shutter: 1/100 / ISO: 100 / Flash: 430EX (diffuser) Galleries / /

A portion of a fractal design. In the high-res version the detail around what would be the face and especially the ‘ears’ of the alien head is made up of hundreds of the little spines that you see. And, of course, since it is fractal, layers of spines like these go on to an infinite degree.
I love the different textures and colors of all the cactus seedlings that have grown together to form a tapestry. /

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

Well.. this little critter caught me by surprise the other day. This is a crablike spiny orb weaver. The smily face on it’s back sure makes a statement. /
