15 Интересных фактов об ехидне

Echidnas are egg-laying monotremes in the family Tachyglossidae. They are also called spiny anteaters. The narrow beak is about 75 mm long and may be straight or slightly curved. The sticky tongue can protrude about 18 cm and reach a total of 25 cm. Strong claws help break termite mounds and dig soil. Short spines are hollow, about 5–6 cm long, with dark tips. Typical body length is 30–45 cm, and body weight varies from 2.5 to 5 kg. Sight is poor, but smell and hearing are very good. Their ears detect low-frequency sounds made by ants and termites underground. Echidnas eat ants, termites, and small insects with a toothless mouth. In danger an echidna rolls into a ball, exposing sharp spines. Females lay a soft-shelled egg and keep it in a belly pouch. A tiny puggle hatches after about 10 days and drinks milk from skin pores. In the wild echidnas often live up to 16 years, and in zoos the record is about 45 years. Echidnas help control pests and loosen soil as they dig.
