Echidnas are medium-sized, solitary mammals covered with coarse hair and spines. They are powerful diggers, with the hind claws facing backwards to assist with digging. They use their long sticky tongue to collect ants and termites.
Echindas produce a single egg, the young being called a puggle. It sucks milk from pores within it’s mother’s pouch. Echidnas and platypus are the only living examples of monotremes.
