These two photos show an Echidna we found on the side of the road. Unfortunately the colour in the first photo is all wrong - the second pic is better. But the first one shows how the little critter curls up into a ball so predators will leave him alone! But in the other pic, Ken is trying to coax him into some material, so he can pick him up and move him to the side of the road out of danger.

Gina, is this little one like a porcupine?
Yeah, the Aussie version of a porcupine I guess. But they are a different species altogether, I think. The quills are very different on each animal.
