Echidnas

An interesting article from the Manly Daily (13 Aug 09) was brought to my attention yesterday. "Beware, boys back in town: The National Parks and Wildlife Service is warning bushwalkers in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park to be on the lookout for randy male echidnas following female echidnas through the bush... Staff at Ku-ring-gai Chase NP have witnessed several echidnas in recent weeks, including up to four males following one female in the hope of successfully mating with her... Sometimes as many as 11 male echidnas can be seen following a single female in the hope of mating with her, although three to four is more usual".

I'll take it from here Manly Daily.

"Matthew Johns could not be contacted for comment".
