short beaked echidna



I want to share with you a little about the short beaked echidna. It lives in australia(including tasmania), new guinea. Here are some features the spines of this species, also called the spiny anteater are longer than the fur between them. Active both day and night this echidna  is  solitary. It eats ants termites grubs and worms. These are  detected by smell  and pherhaps by sensors  on the long snout that detect eletric signals. The small head joins the shoulders with no external neck. i likethe ecidna becouse of is amaysing spines
