No. Spiny anteaters, more correctly known as echidnas,are highly adaptable to a variety of conditions, so they are one of the Australian native animals which has been least affected by European settlement and the associated problems of habitat loss. The echidna is currently listed as "common" throughout Australia and its conservation status is not listed as endangered.
It is a remarkably adaptable creature which can live wherever there are termites or ants.
The echidna is less affected by habitat loss than many other species, as it does not need a specialised environment, just a good supply of ants and termites. There are areas of Australia where echidnas were once common, but have not been sighted in years. The biggest threats are dogs and cars. However, the echidna still enjoys a healthy population in many less urbanised areas.
Natural predators to the echidna are dingoes, and goannas and snakes may prey on young echidnas, sometimes taking them from their burrows.
