When clearing your paddock with an excavator
or bulldozing your garden
or doing your renovation with a bobcat
or burning heaps or mulch piles
or letting your dogs off leash -

Keep an eye out for echidna puggles in burrows.

Two baby echidnas have found themselves in expert care after being accidentally unearthed during building works in Victoria, #Australia. The orphaned puggles, as the young are called, were disturbed when two separate burrows were uncovered – one by an excavator clearing a paddock and the other beneath a concrete slab.

Always good when the friendly locals drop in to help around the garden - if I only could persuade them to pull out a few weeds ;) Short-beaked Echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) enjoying a cloudy afternoon out and about at Corunna, NSW.

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?

On my 14km Bushwalk yesterday in glorious summer weather in the Dandenongs I came across 4 echidnas, they all looked healthy and alert, one had a couple of ticks, but didn’t seem to bothered.
Amazingly on such a great day, I only bumped into a couple of people. Still a lot of trees blocking trails even two years on from the huge storm. Parks Vic just doesn’t have enough resources.

I'm so happy! I've been following the search for this species for over a decade – and they found it! Now, let's protect it. It's been around since the dinosaurs – survived the comet, survived 40,000 years of us in New Guinea. Let's give it a chance. #echidnas

Curtin University researchers have captured rare recordings of #echidnas cooing, grunting and making a range of other sounds, but only during the breeding season.

Saw a couple of echidnas out enjoying some (rare) sunny spring weather at Corunna this arvo - this one even helped out with a bit of roadside drainage digging ... ;)
