Why do echidnas and hedgehogs not get along?
It is not known whether echidnas and hedgehogs get along, as they are found in different continents.
Can echidnas live around limestone?
it is unlikely. Echidnas can live anywhere there are termites and ants, and termites (the echidnas' preferred food) are only found near vegetation.
Do echidnas like dry places?
Echidnas are found in almost all habitats. They prefer dry areas for digging, but they can be found wherever there is a plentiful supply of termites and/or ants.
How can you help echidnas going extinct?
Echidnas are not going extinct, so this is not an issue. They are highly adaptable to a variety of habitats, and as long as there is a ready food source of termites and ants, echidnas can survive in almost any climate found in Australia.
How old can Echidnas get up to?
Most echidnas from birth to death live about 5-6 months. The oldest Echidna ever cought/found was 13 months old.
How do Echidnas surive in a harsh desert climate?
Echidnas do not enjoy extreme temperatures so are not found in deserts. They use caves and rock crevasses to hide from harsh weather conditions. Echidnas can be found in forests, woodlands, snuggled under vegetation, roots or piles of debris. They sometimes hide in other animal burrows, such as rabbits and wombats.
Do echidnas live in the city?
Yes, they can. Echidnas can be found in bushland reserves within metropolitan areas. They are not usually found in suburban backyards, and certainly not in business areas. Echidnas are found throughout most of Australia, and are highly adaptable to a wide range of environments, which has been one of the reasons why they are not threatened by habitat loss. They live anywhere from bushland and woodlands, rocky areas as long as the soil is loose enough to dig, snowy mountains, sandy plains, heath, grasslands, semi-arid environments and deserts. Echidnas can be found wherever there are termites and 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.
