Echidnas live in Australia and on the island of New Guinea.
There are only two species of echidnas: the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglosssus bruijni) of New Guinea.
Echidnas are found in Australia.
As they are also found on the island of New Guinea, they can be found in the countries of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.
There are no echidnas in Bali. Echidnas are found only in Australia and on the island of New Guinea.
Echidnas are native to Australia. They have always been in the country.
No. Echidnas are found only in Australia and the island of New Guinea.
No, echidnas are found only in Australia and on the island of New Guinea.
It is not known whether echidnas and hedgehogs get along, as they are found in different continents.
it is unlikely. Echidnas can live anywhere there are termites and ants, and termites (the echidnas' preferred food) are only found near vegetation.
Echidnas are found in almost all habitats. They prefer dry areas for digging, but they can be found wherever there is a plentiful supply of termites and/or ants.
Echidnas are not going extinct, so this is not an issue. They are highly adaptable to a variety of habitats, and as long as there is a ready food source of termites and ants, echidnas can survive in almost any climate found in Australia.
Most echidnas from birth to death live about 5-6 months. The oldest Echidna ever cought/found was 13 months old.
Echidnas do not enjoy extreme temperatures so are not found in deserts. They use caves and rock crevasses to hide from harsh weather conditions. Echidnas can be found in forests, woodlands, snuggled under vegetation, roots or piles of debris. They sometimes hide in other animal burrows, such as rabbits and wombats.
Yes, they can. Echidnas can be found in bushland reserves within metropolitan areas. They are not usually found in suburban backyards, and certainly not in business areas. Echidnas are found throughout most of Australia, and are highly adaptable to a wide range of environments, which has been one of the reasons why they are not threatened by habitat loss. They live anywhere from bushland and woodlands, rocky areas as long as the soil is loose enough to dig, snowy mountains, sandy plains, heath, grasslands, semi-arid environments and deserts. Echidnas can be found wherever there are termites and ants.
Yes. However, the impact of people on echidnas tends to be less than their impact on some other animal species. Echidnas are among the animals least impacted by European settlement of Australia, as they are found in such a wide range of habitats.
