Is it a hedgehog? Is it a porcupine? No, it's an echidna!

These spiky ant-eaters, along with their relative – the platypus, are the only still-living representatives of an ancient group of Mammals called the Monotremes. This means they've evolved to have some pretty interesting skills!

Born to survive. Built to thrive. #Mammals
