Spotted this echidna the other day on our way to the forest. It stopped and sniffed the air. For an ant nest perhaps? Or maybe it sensed we were nearby. It didn’t appear to look at us walking by. I couldn’t get close before it dug down into the dirt, burying its vulnerable bits.

Thanks for looking.

Echidna

I Googled, just now, searching for the difference between llamas and alpacas. I use the words interchangeably. Well, actually, I always exclaim in excitement ‘look, llamas’ before correcting myself. It’s because I’ve always had a thing for llamas, long before alpacas became a popular sight in our rural vistas. This pair live on a property, one lane over, near the forest behind us.
