Meet the Short-beaked Echidna - The Master Ant Hunter!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the Short-beaked Echidna in action. With its beak halfway buried in the earth, it's on a mission to find its favorite delicacies - ants and termites! But what makes this little creature truly remarkable is its unique ability to detect electrical impulses in the muscles of its prey. Talk about having superpowers! Found exclusively in Australia, this spiny fast tongue is one curious egg-laying mammal. After mating, the female lays just one leathery-shelled egg that she incubates in a temporary pouch on her belly for around 10 days at a cozy 32°C. Once hatched, the baby echidna remains snugly tucked inside until it's covered with short spines. But don't let their adorable appearance fool you; these youngsters are quite independent! They venture out into the world after three months but remain hidden until they're about a year old. It seems like they have some serious exploring skills to develop! With over 1,300 ant species and nearly 350 termite species living Down Under, our echidna friend has an extensive menu to choose from. No wonder you can spot them all across Australia! So next time you stumble upon an echidna digging up some dirt with half of its beak submerged underground, remember that it's not just any ordinary digger – it's an expert ant hunter with incredible sensory powers!
