Echidna
Echidnas, sometimes known as spiny anteaters, are quill-covered monotremes belonging to the family Tachyglossidae. The four extant species of echidnas and the platypus are the only living mammals that lay eggs and the only surviving members of the order Monotremata. Wikipedia.
Another wonderful Australian animal we saw at Featherdale Animal Park, Blacktown, NSW, Australia. Featherdale is not far from us and is well worth a visit if you are ever in Sydney.
