short-beaked echidna

face to face with the echidna. Some might say they have a face only a mother could love, but I think they are kind of cute. They are one of three remaining species of egg-laying mammals (monotremes). Taken at the Taronga Zoo, Sydney, NSW, Australia

Very nice one! Face to face is very rare in the wild in my experience; and too short to make a focused pic like yours.
