The echidna is not a large animal, so it has small feet. Unlike its fellow monotreme, the platypus, it does not have feet with retractable webbing. On the other hand, it shares with the platypus the characteristic of feet with very sharp claws for digging.

∙ 11y agoAlthough they are both mammals, echidnas and platypuses have different feet.
Platypuses have feet with retractable webbing. They have webbed feet which help when they are swimming, but their unique design is such that the webbing membrane can be retracted when the platypus digs its burrow.
Echidnas have feet with very sharp claws for digging. Their feet are not webbed.
