Description
This is one of may favourite photos from my trip to Tasmania
This little guy here is an Echidna (or Spiny Anteater) and would you believe I spotted him just outside the balcony of our cabin in the mountains just going about his business
Again, I took this photo in December 2009.
Now I'm not going to pretend I am some sort of professional photographer but if I'm taking a photo I try and at least do it right

Cute... but spikey.
Personally I do think Australia is pretty awesome, but I am probably pretty biased.

Haha, I'd agree with you on that. I still think the Platypus is king in that category... is it a duck, is is a beaver, is it a possum... who the hell knows. lol.

I was up on a balcony when I saw him, when I did try and get outside to get another shot he had wandered off.

is a legend that a man who sees the salamander (a mythic creature that lives on fire, not the amphibian) is a blessed man.
I think in moder times the one who sees the echidna could be his modern echivalent.
many congrats.
i invite you to see my work.

I like that legend and hopefully the echidna will do the same for me
I might just have to have a look at your gallery

Very cool little dudes these guy... it's basically just a small anteater with spikes
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but it's oh so cute and seems fluffy..( I want to pet it..>3<)

I wouldn't recommend it, they're spikey little buggers
But cute none the less
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
T.T...they can be harmless sometimes too right..T.T
oh..I want to hug it..>.<..but then again I might have to go to hospital after that...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohhh, they are completely harmless, they're very shy.
If you hugged one you'd at least need some tweezers to get the spikes out

So they're more of a look but don't touch animal
