Echidna dick pics and trains. Echidna penises are four pronged but only two are used each time they ejaculate, they swap which ones are used each time.
Echidna reproduction is quite something…

Re-examining an extinct ‘Australian’ ‘species’.
- Tyrone Lavery
Tyrone suspected something wasn’t right because he’d been bitten by the seemingly same species, the Solomon Islands flying fox. But, it turns out it was actually a P. tonganus skull and P. solomonis skin. What a saga!

Sobering presentation from Shannon Kleeman about the impacts of climate change and drought on southern hairy-nosed wombats. Their body condition is declining substantially.
Key finding, wombats do better in areas of more native pastures.
