Echidnas are found throughout most of Australia, and are highly adaptable to a wide range of climates and environments. They live anywhere from dry bushland and woodlands, to snowy mountains, hot sandy plains, heath, grasslands, semi-arid environments and deserts. Echidnas can be found wherever there are termites and ants.

The echidna found throughout Australia is the short-beaked echidna. It is also found in the lowlands of southeast New Guinea. The long-beaked echidna is a rarer species, found only in New Guinea. It ranges from low-level coastal regions to tropical rainforests in mountainous areas.
