Echidna

Echidnas are often called spiny anteaters because of their sharp spines and long beaks. These mammals can also curl up into a spiky ball--just like hedgehogs! Despite all these similarities, echidnas are actually more closely related to platypuses. What else do you know about echidnas? Captivating photos and fun facts make learning about these animals exciting. A back matter feature expands learning even further with a range map, size comparison, and more about the type of animal. It's awesome!
