Marsupial Nose Rodents Thorns Wild Hedgehogs Monotremata Tachyglossidae Tachyglossus Aculeatus
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Gary Lewis from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are presented with a mesmerizing sight of a Short-nosed Echidna, scientifically known as Tachyglossus aculeatus. The adorable marsupial is captured in its natural habitat, surrounded by the lush greenery of the forest. With its nose pointed towards the ground, this front view of the echidna showcases its unique and intriguing features. Resembling a cross between rodents and hedgehogs, these spiky creatures belong to the monotremata family and are also referred to as spiny anteaters. The image beautifully captures their distinctive short noses that set them apart from other echidnas or egg-laying mammals. As they forage through the forest floor, their keen sense of smell allows them to detect insects and small prey hidden beneath leaves and debris. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight not only the charm but also the resilience of these incredible animals. With thorns dotting their backs for protection against predators, they have adapted perfectly to survive in their environment. This stunning nature print serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse wildlife and encourages us to appreciate these fascinating creatures that share our world.
