Before seeing this one I could have counted the number of echidnas I have seen (alive and in the wild) on the fingers of one hand - to see one ambling across the beach in clear view was very exciting. As you can see from the sand, it was raining lightly.
A couple of weeks later I saw another one! But this time in more typical surroundings.
Terrific catch and capture - love the sand background! You don't even need a hand to count the ones I've seen in the wild - not sure I've even seen one in a zoo, but I'll pay more attention next time if I do.
Googled it--egg-laying mammal? cousin of the platypus? And best of all, a baby Echidna is called a puggle! Waugh! Kind of cute, though. Remarkable that you saw 2 in the wild. "D That rained-on sand is pretty wierd-looking also.
