The echidna was once a playful, smooth creature who loved to roll in the dust & bask in the sun. But after a great battle with a greedy goanna, it grew sharp spines to protect itself.

The absence of a substantial stomach in #platypuses and short-beaked #echidnas has baffled scientists for centuries, but a #study has found a specific #gene that may be the cause of their strange digestive system.
So, how do these unique creatures digest their food? And how do they get by without a conventional #stomach?
