Book countdown Day 3: Echidnas have an amazing capacity to survive fires, both by burying themselves underground and undergoing torpor for several days afterwards. They are often seen with burnt spines afterwards but these soon grow back. Resilient animals! #TheEnigmaticEchidna May 5
Happy to be corrected! As a high myope myself, I'm delighted for echidnas😄
I shall look out for #TheEnigmaticEchidna!
Book countdown day 1: Reposting #echidnas everyday the next month in the lead up to publication day on May 5. This one from the Dandenongs in Victoria under the towering Mountain Ash forests. Thanks for sharing @yungenchee.bsky.social #TheEnigmaticEchidna
Echidnas seem to have pretty good eyesight actually and surprisingly long focal range - but they mostly just follow their nose! #TheEnigmaticEchidna out May 5.
