i certainly am not. they are very cool.
didn’t know they existed.
is anyone going to answwer me?
Nope, they look like hedgehogs, and hedgehogs are awesome!
I have two pet African Pygmy hedgehogs 
Pixie:
and Bramble:
Hedgehogs are awesome. One without spikes would be even better.
echidnas are cool
but very shy
…well maybe only shy cause our dog attacked it
but it was fine
yet shy
The spikes don’t do anything, when they’re relaxed and calm they fold their spikes back, and its like stroking a bristle brush :).
hehehe. I want one 
it looks so cute XD
no, why should i? they are far far away and in the books they´re looking so nice and fine…
and hedgehogs are only seen at night and at night i normally sleep :D:D:D
it only takes once you get sprayed with their poisonous needles to deelop a healthy fear of them
I didn’t know what a echidnas was. So, it’s a small mammal with a four headed penis. That sounds scary.
That. is. freaking. awesome.
There’s a name for fear of 4-headed penises.
and a treatment.
… but the cure is worst than the disease. 
Echidnas and the Platypus are the only egg-laying mammals, known as monotremes. The female lays a single soft-shelled, leathery egg twenty-two days after mating and deposits it directly into her pouch. Hatching takes ten days; the young echidna, called a puggle, then sucks milk from the pores of the two milk patches (monotremes have no nipples) and remains in the pouch for forty-five to fifty-five days, at which time it starts to develop spines. The mother digs a nursery burrow and deposits the puggle, returning every five days to suckle it until it is weaned at seven months.
thats very interesting.
I wish my peter had 4 heads.
my uncle peter has 2 heads… its a Tasmanian thing
echidnas are great when found ambling along a bush track. they just look at you and curl up. I dont recomend the plunge echidna, it works well if you dont move. try to move around and half of them plop off.
i was gold panning about a month ago and there was a platypus sitting in the water right next to me just watching. i could have touched him. it was amazing.
that would have been great.
did you find any gold or take photos of the platypus?
negative on both (unless you count a few flakes, of gold not platypus)
It was quite humbling. There i was searching for gold and there he/she was living in the very water that holds the gold without any want or need for it.
we sat there looking at eachother for about 5 min then both decided to move on. magical.
thats is incredible, you are extremely lucky to have been in that situation.
