Short-beaked echidnas live almost exclusively on termites, although they also eat ants. The long-beaked echidna, which is found only on the island of New Guinea, feeds mainly on worms and insect larvae.

Echidnas are not at the top of the food chain. Their main predators 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, dingoes and goannas.
