Echidnas are fascinating egg-laying mammals native to Australia and New Guinea. There are three surviving species. They belong to a group called monotremes, which are unique because they lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young. Echidnas have spiky coats like a hedgehog and long, sticky tongues to catch ants and termites. Despite their spiky appearance, they are shy and solitary creatures. They dig burrows and are excellent swimmers too! 🦔🥚🍼🇦🇺 [Read more 1] [Read more 2] [Read more 3] @googlefactss #Echidna#Monotreme#AustralianWildlife#NatureFacts

They’re one of the few venomous mammals—the males have venomous spurs on their hind legs. 🦆🦫🥚🍼🇦🇺 [Read more] @googlefactss #Platypus#Monotreme#UniqueAnimals#AustralianWildlife
