Echidnas, sometimes known as spiny anteaters, belong to the family Tachyglossidae
Echidnas, sometimes known as spiny anteaters, belong to the family Tachyglossidae in the monotreme order 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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the unique beauty of an Echidna, also known as a spiny anteater. These fascinating creatures belong to the family Tachyglossidae and are part of the monotreme order of egg-laying mammals. Along with the platypus, they are the only surviving members of this order and are one of the few mammals that lay eggs.
Echidnas have a diet primarily consisting of ants and termites, making them important contributors to their ecosystems. Despite their name, they are not closely related to true anteaters found in the Americas.
This particular Echidna is captured in its natural habitat in Australia's Tamar Valley, showcasing its intricate spines and unique features. The focus on the foreground allows for a detailed look at this incredible animal without any distractions.
With no people in sight, this image truly highlights the wildlife aspect of these amazing creatures. The wood material surrounding the Echidna adds a touch of nature to the scene, emphasizing its connection to its environment.
Photographer Morten Falch Sortland has expertly captured this moment in time, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and wonder of these remarkable animals living freely in their natural habitat.
