Echidnas are known for their spiky spines which protect them from would-be predators.
Echidnas have strong front legs and sharp claws that enable them to dig quickly into the ground to avoid danger. They "flatten out" as they dig, appearing to sink horizontally into the ground, thus ensuring their sharp spines are exposed through the process.

How the echidna got the spicks?
The echidna, known for its spiky spines, is thought to have developed these features as a result of evolutionary adaptations for protection against predators. According to one Indigenous Australian legend, the echidna received its spines after a fierce encounter with a group of animals that wanted to harm it. In a moment of desperation, the echidna rolled into a ball, and the surrounding environment transformed its quills into sharp spines, allowing it to defend itself more effectively. This story illustrates the echidna's resilience and the importance of adaptation in survival.
