Sometimes I'm seeing them in my backyard, they look a bit different than the Australian version.
Look to this video, [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc5QJ92LPMo"]YouTube - The Hedgelog Family - De Familie Egel[/ame]

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

Yes! An echidna.:2tsup:
I must get a couple, The pest inspector found active white ant colonies in my rental property. :no:
not to be confused with an echnidna, with is another native to these parts. :DQuote:

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.
Grumpy John,
:p
Most non-Australians wouldn't get it but explaining it will detract from the joke.

noice TL,:) gotta love having critters around the shed, thanks for the pics.
....always wonder what echidnas are thinking :cool:
What Underwood has said there tea lady. Nice pics, thanks for sharing them :2tsup::2tsup:
TL roasted with gravy and roast spuds they are delicious - its a bugger trying to skin them though.
Cheers
:doh: Trust you Calm! But I think what you would do is encase it in clay all over the spines and crack open when cooked. :DQuote:

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.
You can't eat echidnas . . . They're not part of our national emblem :D
They are on the five cent piece though.:cool:
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:
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
.....:D......Thanks.Quote:
