What is echidna's nickname?

Answer 1

There is no specific term for a male echidna.

Answer 2

The main enemies of the echidna affect them when they are young. Snakes will sometimes enter their burrow and eat the baby echidna. Other animals do not usually attempt to eat this spiky creature, but some echidna predators include very brave foxes and goannas. Goannas will dig into an echidna's burrow and eat the young.

A fascinating museum exhibit in Australia shows a fossilised snake eating a fossilised echidna. It would appear the echidna's spikes caught as it was being swallowed by the snake, and both creatures perished.

Answer 3

The echidna, also known as a spiny anteater, is a monotreme. It is found in Australia, and another variety is found in New Guinea. It eats ants and termites with its long, sticky tongue. The echidna lays eggs, making it a monotreme, but it is also a mammal, as the young suckle mother's milk.

During breeding season, the female echidna develops a pouch, where she lays and incubates her egg. The pouch is little more than a fold of skin, and even the male can develop a pouch.

Male echidnas have a spur on their hind leg, much the same as a platypus, but unlike the platypus's spur, the echidna's is not poisonous. Echidnas have short legs and strong claws for burrowing. They are very adaptable, living in a wide variety of climates and environments, from sub-alpine regions to arid semi-desert - wherever there are termites and ants.

Answer 4

Echidnas are monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. Covered with fur out of which dozens of sharp spines protrude, the echidna is sometimes known as the "spiny anteater". Although the echidna is not at all related to anteaters, it does feed primarily on termites and ants.

There are just two species of echidna: the short-beaked echidna, which is found throughout Australia and in a small part of southern Papua New Guibea, and the long-beaked echidna, which is found only on the island of New Guinea. The long-beaked echidna also feeds on worms and insect larvae.

Answer 5

An echidna is a mammal. It is a monotreme, or egg-laying mammal. It is one of just two types of egg-laying mammals, with the other being the platypus.

Answer 6

Its a snake lady type creature

Answer 7

It is the spiny or spiky anteater
