My lunchtime companion Spike clearly had an itch that needed scratching - at Lamington National Park on the weekend. #echidna #nationalparks #environment #nature #mammals #monotreme #wildoz #wildlife

It’s not often I see an echidna make its way through an open paddock!! Walked right up to me, then realized ‘oh you’re a human!’ & buried just his nose in the ground to hide! • • #lauriston #farmlife #drought #lookingforfood #echidna #centralvictoria

You think you’ve seen it all until you come across an echidna on the beach while riding #australia #echidna #visitnsw #midnorthcoast #coffscoast

A dangerous crossing. A kangaroo island echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus multiaculeatus), crosses a dirt road on Kangraoo Island. A sub-species of the mainland species, they are only found (as the name implies) on Kangaroo Island (South Australia). Listed as endangered, key threats include habitat destruction and fragmentation, predation by feral cats, and road mortality. #echidna #monotreme #egglayingmammal #endangered #threatened #Kangarooisland #southaustralia #australia #habitatdestruction @ilcp_photographers @ausconservation @wilderness_aus

Met a little friend while foraging for seaweed along the rockshelf... not someone I expected to find here! They found their way back to the coastal brush eventually... #echidna #foraging

The Kangaroo Island short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus multiaculeatus). While spending some time in South Australia, I was fortunate enough to run into one of Australia’s most iconic mammals on an afternoon hike. Having only seen a few echidnas in my lifetime, this was an especially rare find as it is lighter in colour than the mainland subspecies, and also has longer and thinner spines.

Already having a blast in Australia. It was great to be able to move this Echidna off the road! Coolest animal ever!
