Echidnas look kind of like a cross between an anteater and a hedgehog.
Just like a hedgehog, they have spines on their body that are poky to keep predators away.
And just like the platypus, they lay eggs like birds do!
Echidnas eat small insects with their tongues, just like anteaters do,
and some of them even have spikes on their tongue.
(from: wikipedia - echidna)
A baby echidna is called a puggle!
