Poster The prickly Australian Echidna

Say hello to the echidna, one of Australia’s most unique and endearing animals. A little shy bundle of spikes with a big, curious heart! With its round body, gentle eyes, and long snuffling nose, the echidna looks like a cross between a hedgehog and an anteater, but it’s truly one of a kind. Echidnas are quiet wanderers of the Australian bush, shuffling along on sturdy little legs. When they walk, they seem to waddle at a calm and unhurried pace, perfectly at peace with the world. Under those sharp spines lies soft fur and an even softer personality. Despite their prickly appearance, echidnas are gentle souls; they are shy, peaceful, and endlessly curious.
