Info A monotreme; along with the platypus, the only two egg-laying mammals in the world. Not closely related to the hedgehog or porcupine. One current FP: different subspecies but almost identical. Pronounced 'Eckidna'. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 22:36, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great! Fascinating creature. Little bit of a shame about the OOF plant in the bottom right. But your usual high quality and a lot better than the existing FP which is fine but very old and small. Cmao20 (talk) 02:32, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We only saw two in 4 weeks. Top speed looked to be about 8mph. This was the other one. Cute, but partially obscured.Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
