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

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.

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.
