Echidna search!

Although the echidna is Australia’s most widely distributed native mammal, very little is known about this egg-laying mammal. A study of echidna reproductive behaviour is underway and the University of Queensland is seeking information of sightings of echidnas in the south-east Queensland area. If you see a live or dead echidna please contact Trish LeeHong.
