    It was here again today, so maybe. My dog still thinks its weird though. Apparently they eat white ants. It was rummaging around in some old rotted tree stumps and logs.

    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, [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

    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 .

    Grumpy John,



    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

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?
