[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 582320, member: 10447"] [B]#37- Short-Beaked Echidna.[/B] These animals are not a common sight where I live, I might see one a year, so it was a surprise when I came across this one down by my creek yesterday. It quickly curled itself up into its defence mode, clinging tightly to some exposed palm roots. I tried to prise it off with a stick, but it wouldn't budge, I didn't try too hard as I didn't want to hurt it. The Echidna and the Platypus are the only two egg laying mammals. [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-beaked_echidna[/url] The last photo shows the claws on its back leg.
