Mother Echidna Protects It's Babies From Deadly Southern Cassowary! #wildlife #rescue #animals | Vu Visuals

An echidna is one of Australia's most fascinating animals. These egg-laying mammals are covered in spines that are perfect for bush camouflage, they have a sensitive snout picking up on vibrations, and their hind legs point backward! What's not to love? | Zoos Victoria

We’re crowning echidna babies with the honour of having the cutest name ever: puggles 🥺 An echidna only lays one egg at a time. When hatched, the little baby puggle feeds on milk secreted from patches in their mother’s pouch. Turns out echidnas are absolutely adorable at any age! 📺: Australian Geographic Extraordinary Animals is now airing on NITV on Sunday nights at 7.30pm. Episodes are available to stream for free on SBS On Demand at https://ausgeo.co/extraordinaryanimals #ausgeo #extraordin

Meet Matilda, the first-known echidna in the world that's allergic to ants! They make her eyes puffy and inflamed. Instead, she eats a diet of specially made meat paste. Filmed by Healesville Animal Sanctuary in Victoria | ABC Australia
