Fun Facts About Echidnas

• Echidnas are one of only two living mammals in the world that lay eggs — the other is the platypus.
• Their bodies are covered with a mix of coarse fur and sharp spines, which act as a protective shield against predators.
• When threatened, echidnas can curl into a tight ball or dig into the ground so only their spines are visible.
• They feed mainly on ants and termites, using their long, sticky tongues to catch prey — echidnas don’t have teeth.
• Male echidnas can have four-headed penises — a rarely known quirk of their biology.
• Baby echidnas are called “puggles” and hatch from eggs; they’re soft-bodied at first and only develop spines after some weeks.
• Echidnas live across a wide range of habitats in Australia — from snowy mountains to arid regions — showing their remarkable adaptability.
• Because they dig and forage in soil and leaf litter, echidnas help aerate the ground and control insect populations, making them important for healthy ecosystems.
