I love seeing the pictures of your animals which get posted from time to time.
So I thought this might interest some.
Today I had a visitor to my yard who has now decided to reside in one of my sheds.
This is an Echidna (ant-eater) and an Australian native mammal which lays it's egg in its pouch to incubate, our Platypus is the only other Mammal which also lays its egg in its pouch.

please post images no wider than 640!

Are those quills similar to a hedgehog's quills?
Thanks for posting, hope it keeps the ants cleaned up for you.

Thanks for posting the picture Paul.

We sure as heck don't have anything that comes close to looking like that in my neck of the woods.

I understand that if you make tea from them, it's good for treating a cold. Or is that echinacea?

Looks like a cross between an armadillo and a porcupine. Cool looking little critter.

I've seen pictures of them before.

This picture truely captures the uniqueness of this creature. It almost makes wonder if this animal is even real.

Thanks for sharing.
