Australia’s spiky, shuffling, egg-laying echidna evolved in ‘extremely rare’ event, scientists say
Researchers have compared the monotreme’s traits with the Kryoryctes cadburyi, an ancient water-dwelling creature that lived in Australia more than 100m years ago

This Echidna is doing what Echidnas do - turning over an old log looking for termites. Those spines are sharp - so I wasn't about to turn it over to see if it was male or female!

I reckon spotting an echidna is the Australian equivalent of finding a 4-leaf clover. Down our paddock yesterday. Such cool creatures. #Echidna #RockleighSA
