Best Answer

It is unknown how many echidnas there are in Australia and New Guinea, the only two homes of the echidna. The echidna is common throughout Australia because it is very adaptable and can be found in all habitats, from sub-alpine regions to hot, semi-arid and arid desert regions. All it needs to survive is a ready supply of ants and termites to eat.
