Keyring: Echidna

Echidnas are renowned for their spikes and have a long beak and tongue for eating ants and termites in all of those hard to reach places. They can be a little bit shy and if scared will roll up in a ball. So remember if you see one to watch them from a safe distance as they go about their spiny business.

Fun Fact: The Echidna and Platypus are the only living mammals that lay eggs !
