The short-beaked echidna is found in Australia and southern New Guinea. The echidna looks kind of like a cross between an anteater and a porcupine or hedgehog. The top of the body is covered with sharp spines. These are made of compressed hairs, just like your fingernails.
How many short-beaked echidnas are there?
The five subspecies of the short-beaked echidna are each found in different geographical locations.
Where are echidnas found?
The Echidna is usually found in open heathland, forests, woodlands, scrublands and grasslands, among vegetation or in hollow logs. In poor weather, they will often shelter under bushes or burrow into the soil. You will most likely see an Echidna during early morning or late evening as they avoid extreme temperatures.
