Echidna encounter

At the end of September I was blessed to able to visit Platypus House with my friends Felicity and Dave. The platypus were difficult to photograph. However, at the same place there were some echidnas that were happy to sit still for us while they ate . . .



It was fun to watch their long tongues lap up their food!

We were able to touch the echidnas. I had never done this before.


Since my sitemeter tells me that many of my visitors come from the USA, I thought you would enjoy a glimpse of these Australian animals.

Baby echidnas and platypus are called "puggles". They hope to breed both at Platypus House.
