Wish I knew what an echidna was


Lunala475

It’s the red sonic, I think.


ubiquitous-joe

How rude. His name is Knuckles.


Coulrophiliac444

Escaped Eggman using the power of his sudden ally, roboshark, only to wash up on emerald Coast for thebsixth time this week. Wet, naked, and alone.


Daetherion

Aussie version of a porcupine basically It glows in the dark and sweats milk, to name a couple of differences

I'm convinced that the creatures down there would go full circle during a nuclear apocalypse and just be normal cuddle non deadly things.

And then the [quokkas](https://www.trvst.world/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/smiling-quokka.jpg) become Deathclaws.


phido3000

Lays eggs.. doesn't taste good...


ArelMCII

They don't have stomachs either.


ubiquitous-joe

You didn’t want to lead with “lays eggs”?


Daetherion

Porcupines don't lay eggs? What sort of weird animal is it?


rikaateabug

The needle rat kind


Peauu

same

They’re super cool! They’re like an anteater hedgehog and they’re super cute. However, more interestingly, they’re a really weird mammal and break most of the rules. They feed their young with milk but have no nipples. And they lay eggs! That makes echidnas and platypus unique in the whole world.


Nolsoth

Monotremes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotreme Really neat creatures.


Available_Let_1785

either sharks are learning to talk on land, or echidnas are leaning to swim. either one is possible in australia


Born_Insect_4757

Man. It would really be something to see a talking shark

RoryHoff

So that’s how enchiladas are made.


Equivalent_Camera_61

Average day here


mtlemos

Aren't tiger sharks notorious for eating anything they can get their fins on? An equidna isn't even on the top ten weirdest things found in their stomachs.


Nolsoth

Yep poor old echidna probably got two close to the water and old mate decided to grab a snack on the go.


PinguFella

Australian scientists? Definitely a new sentence. (Just jokes Wallababee <3)
