The Western Long-beaked Echidna (Zaglossus bruijni) is one of the four extant echidnas and one of three species of Zaglossus that occur in New Guinea. Fossils of this species also occur in Australia. As Tachyglossus bruijni, this is the type species of Zaglossus. The Western Long-beaked Echidna is present in New Guinea, in regions of elevation above 1300 m and up to 4000 m; it is absent from the southern lowlands and north coast. Its preferred habitats are alpine meadow and humid montane forests. Unlike the Short-beaked Echidna, which eats ants and termites, the Long-beaked species eats earthworms. The Long-beaked Echidna is also larger that the Short-beaked species, reaching up to 16.5 kg (36 lb); the snout is longer and turns downward; and the spines are almost indistinguishable from the long fur. It is distinguished from the other Zaglossus species by the number of claws on the fore and hind feet: three (rarely four). The species is listed as endangered by the IUCN; numbers have decreased due to human activities reducing habitat and hunting. The Long-beaked Echidna is a delicacy, and although hunting the species has been banned by the Indonesian and Papua New Guinean governments, traditional hunting is permitted. In February 2006, an expedition led by Conservation International reported finding a population of the mammals as part of what they described as a "Lost world" of wildlife in the Foja Mountains of Papua Province, Indonesia.[3] --peace-- The Western Long-beaked Echidna (Zaglossus bruijni) is one of the four extant echidnas and one of three species of Zaglossusthat occur in New Guinea.

Although the Zaglossus Bruijni lays eggs, it is classed as a mammal.
big animal, small animal, baby animal, and DEAD animal.
Yes... an animal caretakerdoes get to choose their own animal.
An Animal Hazard is a warning of what the animal may do, or what not to do with the animal. For example: "Animal Hazard: Never let snakes roam freely indoors." or "Animal Hazard: Never hold a bunny on it's back." Anyway an animal hazard is to help you and the animal stay safe! hope this helps :)
A pet is a animal that humans have. A wild animal is a animal that lives outdoors. A bear is a wild animal. A cat is a pet.
The zaglossus hacketti is an extinct species of an animal known as a long-beaked echidna. It weighed approximately 220 lbs and was roughly the size of a sheep.
The scientific name for the short-beaked echidna is Tachyglossus aculeatus.The scientific name for the long-beaked echidna is Zaglossus bruijnii.
Although the Zaglossus Bruijni lays eggs, it is classed as a mammal.
It depends on the species.There are only two species of echidnas: the short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) of Australia, and the long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus bruijni) of New Guinea. There are several sub-speciesof the long-beaked echidna: the Western long-beaked echidna, Sir David's long-beaked echidna and the Eastern long-beaked echidna.
