Echidnas! I love them!

Being sneaky...


Crossing the river...


Rolled up for protection!


Eating food with it's long sticky tongue. Echidnas are insectivores.

What Up Echidna?

This is my new favorite picture and is currently up on my desktop background. This is Cess, an echidna (a monotreme: part mammal, part marsupial, part reptilian) from Australia. It is blowing bubbles out of it's beak. This poor echidna was found on the side of the road and taken care of at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney, Australia. It had broken feet (in yellow casts) and a damaged beak (which is probably the reason for the bubble-blowing). So freaking cute!
