What is the offspring of echidnas?
Contrary to popular myth, there is no official term for the offspring of echidnas. The term "puggle" has reportedly been used in Australian bush lore as a name for baby echidnas for many decades. There have been claims that it developed as a name for baby echidnas, as they resembled "Puggles", an American soft-toy character. Perhaps because echidnas and platypuses are both monotremes, the term began to be applied to young platypus as well.The company producing the "Puggles" toy considered legal action against the unauthorised use of the term "puggles". Whether or not this action went ahead is undetermined, and some have alleged that it could be illegal to use the word for anything other than the soft toy.

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. Other animals do not usually attempt to eat this spiky creature, but some echidna predators include very brave foxes and goannas. Echidnas are highly adaptable and less threatened by habitat loss than other native animals. Basically, echidnas can survive wherever there are ants.
What effect do humans have on echidnas?
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.
