Most of the echidnas' adaptations are physiological or structural. However, one behaviour which certainly helps the echidna to survive is its tendency to burrow. Echidnas have strong front legs and sharp claws that enable them to dig quickly into the ground to avoid danger. They "flatten out" as they dig, appearing to sink horizontally into the ground, thus ensuring their sharp spines are exposed through the process.
