[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 506984, member: 1414"] Echidna - Tachyglossus Aculeatus Another interesting Australian, found right across the country, even in the snow regions. Was bush bashing and this little fella was sauntering along the path I was driving on Wilson's Patch. Stopped and grabbed the camera and walked up to him. Immediately rolled up into a protective ball. I kid you not, sat there quietly for over an hour before he finally unraveled and went on his way. Coincidence or not several weeks later, came across one in the middle of the Paynes Find/Sandstone road. He scurried under my ute and dug himself into the gravel in front of the utes back wheel. Had one hell of a job prising him free and dumping him in roadside bush. ***Hadn't seen an echida in the wild since I was a kid growing up on Dads farm, then see two in the space of a couple of weeks.**** [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1414/1565917109_echidna2.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1414/1565917131_echidna.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
