## Caption

Australia | You are looking at one of the two living egg-laying mammals (AKA monotremes) in the world, the echidna. These spiny monotremes have the ability to suppress REM sleep, so they don't go into a deep sleep. They also have strong limbs with large claws, making them powerful diggers. They're also bindisueirwin's favorite animal!
