What on earth is an echinda?

If you're one of those people who, having read about the wildlife in our back yard in Gippsland, is asking this question, you might like to try following one or more of these links. Now that we have a scanner, I can soon put in a photo of one of our echidnas, but in the meantime, here are some links to pages of other people's photos and information.

Echidna Links

Photo and information about echidnas This is on an Australian zoo site and if you think this little creature is cute, you can even send its photo to all your friends and relatives as internet postcards (if you have the patience or not too many friends and rels).

Echidna basics from the Department of Anatomy and Physiology at the University of Tasmania. Includes photos of a baby echidna emerging from its egg, a somewhat older but still spike-free baby and various adults.

More echidna info including a Quick-Time movie (2.34 Mb) of an echidna in the wild
