EDITORS COMMENTS
Look who's got their nose to the ground! This Short-nosed Echidna is on a mission in South Australia, sniffing out some tasty treats. With its spiky exterior and adorable snout, this Australian native is a true master of foraging. Known for its unique ability to lay eggs like a bird while still producing milk like a mammal, this echidna is one fascinating creature. It belongs to the monotreme family, which includes only four species in total. Talk about being part of an exclusive club! As it scours the wilds of Australasia, our little friend here showcases the beauty and diversity of wildlife that can be found Down Under. From kangaroos hopping around to koalas munching on eucalyptus leaves, Australia truly has it all when it comes to incredible animal encounters. So next time you find yourself wandering through South Australia's breathtaking landscapes, keep your eyes peeled for these elusive echidnas. Just make sure not to get too close - those sharp spines are no joke! Thanks to FLPA Images and photographers Jurgen & Christine Sohns for capturing this magical moment in nature. Their stunning print brings us face-to-face with one of Australia's most intriguing creatures - an experience we won't soon forget!
