As with those interesting mammals the #Echidna

Ever since Jordan & I covered the pilot episode of the #Disney #animated *series* #Hercules (yes, there was an entire series), we periodically watch it together... and woooeeee imagine our DELIGHT when we happened upon their depiction of Echidna & Typhon....

Learn more about our favorite mother of monsters, Echidna on this week's episode here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/serpens-myths-and-retconstellations

New #mythology episode on the #constellation #Serpens is out now!

Since we already covered the #mythology of this constellation when we covered #Ophiuchus (check out the season 1 back catalog), we were excited to spend some time with Ophion & the mother of monsters herself Echidna this week.

Check out the episode here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/serpens-myths-and-retconstellations

Why did the echidna cross the road?

I don't know but he was thinking his first go was a bad idea and decided to come back.

I had to intervene and set him on the path to snacks.

Compilation of Detox Doodles!

These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: https://www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-doodles

Of all of these, my favorites are the chickens and frogs!

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦔🍼 A short beaked #echidna at the #SanDiegoZoo Safari Park gave birth to two #puggles in one season, a rarity for #monotremes.

One puggle is raised naturally while the other, which struggled to gain weight, is hand reared by veterinarians with #ultrasound monitoring. Echidna #puggles start life weighing about 350 mg – that's less than half a mini-marshmallow!

Apparently echidnas have amazing tongues that can stiffen and smash into wood and soil in search of ants, worms, termites, and insects.

And yet their tongues are also dexterous and bendy to turn back and wind around the labyrinths of nests.

Mysteriously, they don't get splinters from this?

What strange and wonderful creatures.

If you see one, be sure to mention it!

I've been learning about echidnas.

Echidnas are the only mammals with actual beaks. And the only ones that can dig straight down. Their back feet face backwards. Echidnas form temporary pouches for babies that go away later. They have no teats.

A baby echidna is called a "puggle".

And yet it turns out we know relatively little about these elusive critters compared to other Aussie treasures. We don't know much about their diet, habitat, reproduction, and so on. We don't really know for sure where they are and how abundant they are.

But you can help! Share every echidna sighting you can! Building a baseline on the population is the first step. And tell your local council about any echidna road incidents.

If you live in Qld, be sure to bookmark the EchidnaWatch sighting form below or download iNaturalist to join the echidna detectives project.

Australia has the coolest and weirdest of fascinating animals. Love echidnas, terrifying the ant populations of our Great Southern Land, and their shuffling movements.

@dgar

You did well! 😁 They often get themselves stuck in a corner & it’s pretty hard to move them out of that. Thought I saw its spines flare out defensively when it heard Bronson bark too. Could have been a disaster - you saved the day! 😁
