Echidnas

The echidna
lives in Australia. It has a long tube snout. It can be black, light
brown, or brown. It has spines and spikes down its back. It can live up
to 50 years! It eats worms, termites, and ants. It is about 20 inches
long at the maximum. I think personally echidnas are extraordinary.
Echidnas are very interesting!
