This is my day 3 of my ‘7 days of nature challenge’ We found this little guy hiding among the growth at a Caravan Park in South Australia. They eat ants, hence the name. Although, they will not hurt you, those spikes are there for a reason to protect them from predators. They are really cute little guys, and yes, those spikes are sharp so be careful.
As hard as we tried we could not get a photo of his face, which was disappointing. He kept it hidden.
He looks a bit like a hedgehog or a porcupine, with those spikes. They have a pretty effective defence against predators. 🙂 Thanks for linking up again, Eileen. Have a great weekend.
Thanks for that. Sorry did not continue with this challenge, but my computer died again.
