Echidna’s have spikes like a porcupine, a beak like a bird, a pouch like a kangaroo and lay eggs like a reptile! what a mix! They’re small solitary mammals, native to Australia, Tasmania and new guinea and grow to around 40 cm in length and weigh approx 3-5 kilograms. Echidnas have the lowest body temperature of any mammal, 32deg C. They have no teeth. But have very practical tongues at the end of their slender snout. They use their long sticky tongues to feed on ants, termites and insect larvae.They feel vibrations through their noses.
