The Echidnas


The Echidna is a primitive warm blooded creature. It exists in both Australia and New Guinea. It is a single creature that tunnels. Whenever it is assaulted, the echidna will tunnel into the ground or bend itself into a ball utilising its spines as a technique for defence in opposition to the predator. The echidna's spines spread the top of its figure. Echidna's have long sharp paws on their feet, and are give or take 35-50 cms in length with a 10cm long tail. Their nose is absolutely delicate, they utilise this to find sustenance, then they utilise their long sticky tongue to get ground dwelling insects, worms and different such bugs. Echidna's weigh on normal between 2 to 7 kilo grams. 

Echidnas are broadly appropriated all through Australia and Tasmania. Granted that not generally viewed, they are not thought about antagonised. They exist in a wide mixture of environments, from cool rugged tops to abandons. Female echidna's lay a specific egg in their pocket. After ten days, the egg brings forth and a puggle (infant echidna) is born. They are born daze and bare, and expend drain from an organ within the pocket. After a normal of four weeks, the puggle advances sharp spines, and should leave the pocket. 

They ordinarily recognised in spots with an exceptional supply of burrowing little creatures and termites, where it lies on a ground dwelling insect-hill, stands out its tongue and lets ground dwelling insects stroll onto it. Echidnas have no teeth. It squashes its creepy crawly sustenance between horny plates on its tongue and the top of its mouth.
