No, you could not. Such action would be highly illegal. Echidnas are a protected species in Australia, their native home, and cannot be taken from the wild.
Here is the law regarding exotic animals in Illinois:
"No person may harbor, care for, act as a custodian, or maintain in his possession any dangerous animal except at a properly maintained zoological park, federally licensed exhibit, circus, scientific or educational institution, research laboratory, veterinary hospital or animal refuge. "Dangerous animal" means a lion, tiger, leopard, ocelot, jaguar, cheetah, margay, mountain lion, lynx, bobcat, jaguarundi, bear, hyena, wolf, coyote, or any poisonous life-threatening reptile. However, there are no state requirements for a person possessing non-human primates and other exotic species not defined as "dangerous animals.""
a cage a hutch
Any pet shop carries them. You could build your own with a tin can, a stick, and a nail or two...
Most likely the PET scan images showed a suspicious growth or something and it was decided to biopsy it to determine what it actually was and if it needed to be removed or could be left alone.
Depends on the species of the pet.
Yes, Ernest Rutherford had a pet canary named Perseus.

It could be any pet. People keep adopting and pets die everyday so it's hard to keep record :)

Yes, ducks are legal to own. Illinois has no laws/restrictions against animals not considered dangerous.

Yes, but finding one could prove difficult.
You could either keep them, sell them, or give them to the pet shop
yes, but you need to feed it something a day.
One could purchase a white mouse at a variety of different pet stores. Pet stores, such as Petco, are a great place to purchase any pet as they are great with helping them get domesticated.
Rabbits are not the cleanest pet you could have (as they can carry disease), but as long as you keep their living environment clean and sanitary, you won't have any problems.
