EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Tachyglossus aculeautus, commonly known as the Short-nosed Echidna. Captured in a side view, this unique mammal belongs to the monotremata family and is one of Australia's most fascinating creatures. With its spiky exterior resembling that of an anteater, this beaked animal possesses extraordinary characteristics. Being egg-laying mammals, echidnas are among nature's true wonders. Their ability to lay eggs sets them apart from other mammals and places them in a league of their own. The white background beautifully contrasts with the earthy tones of the echidna's fur, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail. This illustration technique brings out the profile view of this short-beaked echidna flawlessly. Not only does this image capture its physical attributes but it also highlights its self-defence mechanism. When threatened or feeling vulnerable, these digging animals curl up into a ball and use their sharp spines for protection against predators. As we admire this stunning portrayal by Dorling Kindersley, we cannot help but marvel at the diversity found within Australian wildlife. The Short-nosed Echidna serves as a reminder that nature constantly surprises us with its incredible creations.
