Sweet, Anne Maria, is it now your new pet?
AdIt was here again today, so maybe.:cool: My dog still thinks its weird though.:rolleyes: Apparently they eat white ants.:cool: It was rummaging around in some old rotted tree stumps and logs.

[Ad de Crom]

Anne Maria, this is a hedgehog, right? We call that an ''egel''.
Sometimes I'm seeing them in my backyard, they look a bit different than the Australian version.
Look to this video, YouTube - The Hedgelog Family - De Familie Egel

Ad, it's like a hedgehog but is actually an echidna. If you are interested look at: Australian monotreme,Australian Echidna, Spiny Ant-eater - Aussie-Info.com (http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/fauna/echidna.php)

Loverly, Lady Grey.Not only a potter, but a potterer and a photographer.

[Grumpy John]

Ah, yes the wonderful Australian wildlife. The echidna, which eats white ants and the wombat, which eats roots and leaves. I once had a girlfriend call me a wombat :rolleyes: :D.

[Ekim]

Grumpy John,

:p

Most non-Australians wouldn't get it but explaining it will detract from the joke.

Those who would prefer seeing the white ants eaten ............:rolleyes: TL Fletty - Carl might want one.

[weisyboy]

na i just nike the whole place no ants round here:U

the spines are good for jewellery if i see one run over ill stop and cut the spines off.

[Bazzmate]

You can't eat echidnas . . . They're not part of our national emblem :D

[tea lady]

They are on the five cent piece though.:cool:

[Bazzmate]

Well I guess that's OK then.

So would they be like cats?

. . . More than one way to skin 'em and about half a dozen ways to cook 'em:2tsup:

[Kev Y.]

They taste nothing like cats.. There are no words to describe the dreadful taste of a cat.. why do you think dogs lick their bums?.. to get rid of the cat taste... :-

Nice photos by the way
