So you think you've seen it before: meh, just another hedgehog. Well, this is not, this is Echidna.
Can your hedgehog lay eggs? Echidnas are the only mammal that can! And it's easy to understand - imagine they had to give birth to those spiky babies, ouch!
How about the electrical sensors on its nose? They can use electroception to detect tiny changes in the surrounding electrical fields, navigate and hunt the total darkness.
This is my photo for animal photography contest. Thank you @juliank for creating and curating the contest:

STOPLooks cute but don't pick it up.
True, not without gloves ; )
I didn't know that echidnas lay eggs. Thank you for sharing this information. But yes, it does make sense. The mother echidna would have trouble giving birth to her babies with spikes.
Thank you, glad you support my Darwinian thought process : -P
Well, I beg to disagree, though. What I thought was, how awesome is God for His intelligent design. :)
Same thing, I use words G-d and Nature interchangeably : )
Allow me to disagree again. For me, God created nature so I can't use them interchangeably. Nature did not create God. :)
Fair enough. I think of Nature not just as bugs and flowers around us but more in general terms, such as Universe.
I agree. For me, Nature includes the Universe.
Excellent publication this virus is very difficult to cure, I get it when I get stressed or I have a strong emosion is uncontrollable, it manifests with small ulcers on the skin, pruito and discomfort
Thank you for your comment, I think you are reflecting on my previous post about Herpes Viruses : )
