Description:
Description: English: A prickly fellow among some prickly plants. Borya sphaerocephala also known as Pin cushions or Resurrection plants. Fred found the echidna trying to hide. It wasn't in a hurry staying put between the plants. Often they don't even show their nose which is used to sniff around in the dirt to find ant nests and eat the ants. We have seen one bury itself in about 5 minutes. The ground here was too hard for that behaviour. Photo: Jean. Date: Taken on 29 September 2017, 12:49. Source: Echidna.
