Not Three Puggles

Baby echidnas are called puggles. They start life when the mother lays an egg about 22 days after mating.

According to abc science online getting an echidna egg from the cloaca to the pouch, is not an easy feat and no-one’s actually seen it happen.

I was sent an email yesterday with an image apparently of three cute baby echidnas.

I am still pondering the image.

Don’t puggles look more like this, view image ? (The image is from this website, http://www.fauna-rescue-qld.org.au/ .)
