Echidna
Wallpaper Description:
Echidnas, sometimes known as spiny anteaters, belong to the family of egg-laying mammals.The four extant species, together with the platypus, are the only surviving members of that order and are the only extant mammals that lay eggs.
Their diet consists of ants and termites, but they are not closely related to the true anteaters of the Americas.
They live in Australia and New Guinea.
Echidnas evidently evolved between 20 and 50 million years ago, descending from a platypus-like animal.
This ancestor was aquatic, but echidna's are adapted to life on land.
The echidna's are named after the "Mother of monsters" in Greek mythology, despite not resembling the mythological creature.
