Perfect #platypus - you can see how they change from swimming to waddling to slithering depending on how deep the water is.

A very hefty #echidna, determined that it's not too wide for the track it's trying to squeeze along.

An echidna carefully scents the air for danger with its long thin muzzle raised quizzically and its golden spines at the ready.
A cautious echidna to start the week off right.

![“Engraved on a horizontal Hawkesbury sandstone platform, [the echidna] has 12 infill lines from head to tail representing the echidna's quills. The photograph was taken in the late afternoon when the sun's slanting rays throw the grooves into relief. The pale greenish-coloured spots are lichen growing on the sandstone.”
“It is difficult to date the echidna engraving using current scientific techniques, particularly as there is no soil covering it. Dating is also difficult because re-grooving sometimes occurs during later ceremonies. However the style of the drawing, known as 'simple figurative', and its state of preservation suggests it was made in the last few thousand years. The simple figurative style is confined to the region.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l5pcfqdnvtivhxufycjnvzui/bafkreiesnh32tyd6duwwthg3hhgij5lwxu2vv4q6tpyoxanw7pib6slmku)
