These egg-laying mammals are covered in spines that are perfect for bush camouflage, they have a sensitive snout picking up on vibrations, and their hind legs point backward!

Pool party... echidna style! If you look closely, you may notice a big rock in the back of the tub. That's so if a smaller animal falls in, they have an escape route back out. If you're leaving water out for wildlife, be sure to keep a rock or stick poking out for those little critters! Must keep the pool party safe after all!
