The echidna, known for its spiky spines, is thought to have developed these features as a result of evolutionary adaptations for protection against predators. According to one Indigenous Australian legend, the echidna received its spines after a fierce encounter with a group of animals that wanted to harm it. In a moment of desperation, the echidna rolled into a ball, and the surrounding environment transformed its quills into sharp spines, allowing it to defend itself more effectively. This story illustrates the echidna's resilience and the importance of adaptation in survival.
