That was a lucky encounter. They are hard to spot - even when you're close. Never known one to be this friendly - must have sensed you were a really nice guy !!!!

Thanks Chris for the footage. Not many of us Aussies get that close to our Echidna. Quite a cute little critter.

Did some further research. What an interesting critter. They can live up to 60 years , lay eggs, and females form pouches for their young. Nice video.

I bet this would be Knuckles from planet earth in the live action Sonic film, like a multiverse.

Cute little guy. Do the quills shoot in defense? Or just making his back protected in spikey quills?

The spikes are actually modified hair. There are tiny muscle tissue which can control movement. But not intentionally shoot them off.

How common would you say this is to encounter an echidna like this on a scale of 1 - 10
@ChrisRishworth
3 жыл бұрын
Not so much a scale but location's there are places they are abundant and other place's you just won't ever see them. This was Tasmania and they are abundant there. So if cycling or walking in the wild chances are high within a week you would sight one. The trick is not to let them notice you. Their eye sight is not great at distance but there hearing is reasonably good. Stay down wind at about 20 metres and then don't move. Then there's a good chance they will walk up to you. Once you move they generally dig into the ground and don't move for a long time. Cheers Chris.
