Echidna. The Short Beaked Echidna, (sometimes known as spiny anteaters)
The Short Beaked Echidna, (sometimes known as spiny anteaters) belong to the family Tachyglossidae in the monotreme order of egg-laying mammals. The four extant species, together with the platypus, are the only surviving members of that order and are the only extant mammals that lay eggs.[2] Their diet consists of ants and termites, but they are not closely related to the true anteaters of the Americas. They live in Australia and New Guinea

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the unique beauty of the Short Beaked Echidna, a fascinating creature that belongs to the family Tachyglossidae in Australia and New Guinea. With their spiky exterior and distinctive beak, echidnas are truly one-of-a-kind animals that stand out in the animal kingdom.
Known for their diet of ants and termites, echidnas are not closely related to true anteaters but share similarities in their feeding habits. As one of the few surviving members of the monotreme order of egg-laying mammals, these creatures hold a special place in nature as some of the only mammals that lay eggs.
