Who are echidnas' biggest danger?

The biggest threat to echidnas occurs when they are young. Snakes will sometimes enter their burrow and eat the baby echidna.

Echidnas are highly adaptable and less threatened by habitat loss than other native animals. Basically, echidnas can survive wherever there are ants.


What do Australian echidnas eat?

The species of echidna found in Australia is the short-beaked echidna. Echidnas of Australia live almost exclusively on termites, although they also eat ants. Echidnas have large claws for breaking open termite mounds (which, in much of Australia, are made from mud). They have long sticky tongues, about 15cm long, with which they catch the termites. Echidnas also look for termites under old, rotting logs, their preferred locale.
