Happy World Echidna Day!
These interesting and unique creatures are said to be named after "Echidna" The Greek mythological mother of monsters, believed to be half woman, half snake. But why? Echidnas were perceived by early scientists to have both mammalian and reptilian features as they produce milk from milk patches in their pouch, and lay eggs like other members of the monotremata order.

Echidna. Australian ant eater
Also a mammal that lays eggs. Monotreme.
Scientific name Tachyglossus
(Which is very fun to say)
Shy creatures, strong burrowers, if disturbed, they dig down and leave a array of spines poking up to deter predators.
Plus. They can Swim! Often just for fun!
Great little creatures...

yeah, but can you draw echidnas from memory because of a hilarious amount of hyperfixation?

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Blowing bubbles is a great summer pastime, especially for echidnas! Too keep themselves cool, short-beaked echidnas blow snot bubbles, and the mucus wets their snouts. When it the mucus evaporates the moisture draws out heat-- an efficient cooling method known as evaporative cooling.

Short-beaked echidna! The four species of echidna and the platypus are the world’s only egg-laying mammals! Echidnas are monotremes, meaning they both lay eggs and nurse their young. Echidna babies are called puggles, and are nursed in a pouch until they start developing their spines at around 50 days old.
[ID: an illustration of an echidna facing toward the viewer, with termite mounds in the background. End.]

すごい久しぶりに行ったけど、ハリモグラ展示が継続されていて嬉しい。
沼津港深海水族館
This aquarium exhibits echidnas in the coelacanth zone, because they are coelacanths among mammals. Good sense.
