Echidna Report ( Literacy )

{Have you ever heard or seen a Echidna before? Ever wondered what an Echidna is.The Echidna is a unique animal which dates from prehistoric times.They are a native animal to New Ginnea and Australia.It is the only mammal to lay eggs apart from the platypus.} {The Echidna’s appearance contributes to their uniqueness.Echidnas are know to have fur and spines. The animal has long claws.They have claws and hind legs to go backwards.It has one claw larger.They have small eyes.The Echidna has a wedge shaped snout (nose) as well.} {The spiky Echidna has specific features to help it catch and eat their food.This clawed animal has no teeth at all.It eats Ants,Termites and worms.The animal has a very sticky tongue too.Their nostrils help them sniff out their food.} {This creature is very well equipped to protect itself from danger.It has strong feet so they can dig very fast if in danger.Echidnas have mottled colouring so they can camouflage well.When in danger they roll into a ball so they can hide their face and claws.} {So this is what I have learned about the Echidna. The are really fascinating creatures. It’s also interesting how they have survived while other animals from the same era have not.}
