EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the incredible world of Australia's short-beaked echidnas. These fascinating mammals, known as monotremes, are like no other creatures on Earth! With their spiky exterior and adorable snouts, they resemble a cross between an anteater and a hedgehog. But it's not just their unique appearance that makes them special - these little guys are also exceptional parents! In this snapshot captured by D. Parer & E. Parer-Cook, we witness the heartwarming sight of a single echidna diligently foraging for food while simultaneously protecting its precious offspring. As nocturnal creatures, they rely on their keen sense of smell to navigate through the Australian wilderness under the starry night sky. Their spikes serve as armor against any potential threats lurking in the shadows. With Australia's vast landscapes serving as their playground, these short-nosed wonders embark on exciting adventures every night. From sniffing out tasty treats to exploring hidden hideaways, there is never a dull moment with these spiky explorers! So if you're looking for an enchanting addition to your wildlife collection or simply want to celebrate nature's extraordinary creations from down under – look no further than this print capturing the essence of Australian wildlife at its finest!
