The echidna (Tachyglossus Aculeatus) was named after the Greek monster Echidna, who was half snake (reptile) and half woman (mammal). She was known as the "Mother of all Monsters" as most of the monsters in Greek mythology were said to have mothered by Echidna. The most obvious reptilian characteristic of the echidna is that it lays eggs. The mammalian characteristics of the echidna is that they are warm-blooded, have fur, produce milk and suckle their young.

However, this does not mean there is no effect on the echidna's habitat. Anywhere there is urban development is a threat to echidnas, whether this impact is by cars hitting the animals; echidnas being killed by domestic dogs; or building development such as bulldozers and other digging equipment. One of the major effects on echidnas is caused by flooding, often a result of humans changing natural watercourses by their activities. Echidnas can swim, but they cannot survive floodwaters.
