Oh, I love echidnas too, although I think Wally Wombat is my favourite. I have a close encounter with an echidna story. When Mollie was a mere babe in arms (sooooooo many years ago!!) I was driving her to sleep (while she was driving me mad!!) one night when I came upon a spiky pal, sitting in the middle of the road. Undaunted, I pulled over, got a blanket out of the boot (still not sure WHY there was a blanket in the boot, but, whatever!!), wrapped her up, and carried her to the side of the road. As you stated, she shivered and burrowed for a minute or two, then scurried off in the right direction. It was really an amazing moment, one I’ll never forget.

I'm so glad I read the comments on this post, because I thought this was a hedgehog! But then I looked it up, and now I think I know what it is! Thanks for sharing, we don't get to see those in Belgium I think, except at the zoo! Jientjes last blog post..Wordless Wednesday Signed by Van Gogh

Ree: they are uncomfortably prickly. Sharpened knitting needles type prickly..

Lou: Some people call them Spiny Ant Eaters. They aren’t a marsupial they are a monotreme, meaning they lay eggs and then suckle their young..Platypus are monotremes as well..

I always heard them called Spiny Ant Eaters. I always thought they were related to porcupines but as I got older and learned they were marsupials, I guess I realized they were not. but there cute little buggers – except they are really ugly when they are babies – like most marsupials, naked and helpless.

Awwww! So, here in the States, we call those little guys Hedge hogs. And we keep them in cages as pets. Suddenly puts a new perspective to caging the little fellers. Ashs last blog post..Katina’s Dead
