Echidnas are Monotremes, a type of Mammal that has been on earth since the time of the dinosaurs.

The oldest known monotreme fossils are over 120 million years old, making this the oldest type of mammal on earth. There are only three species of animal in the Order Monotremata: the long-beaked echidna, the short-beaked echidna, and the platypus. Echidnas are found in Australia and Papua New Guinea, and are about the size of a football.

There are lots of weird things about echidnas, in addition to their spines (and no, they aren’t related to hedgehogs or porcupines):

  • They have no teeth.
  • They have long beaks.
  • The opening for their mouth is only 1/4 inch wide, and the jaws do not move up and down.
  • Their rear feet point backwards.
  • Like birds, they only have one orifice for urination, defecation, and reproduction.
  • And they lay eggs!

European scientists had been studying the echidna for more than ninety years before they discovered that this small mammal lays eggs. In 1884 Dr. William Haacke unrolled a captive echidna in hopes of finding a “puggle,” (a baby echidna) in her pouch. Instead, he found an egg, and was so excited about his discovery that he accidental broke it!
