Echidnas are on the move! 🦔👀 Echidna breeding season is here, so you're much more likely to spot one of Australia's most iconic mammals. Over the coming months, echidnas break their solitary habits to form "love trains", where two to ten males follow a single female in the hope of mating. If you're out and about, be especially careful around dawn and dusk, when echidnas are most active and more likely to be crossing roads. Lucky enough to spot one? Record your sighting and help us build valuable distribution data for this under-researched species. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gNKY8PZn Enjoy this amazing video of an echidna searching for ants and termites, submitted by Katie East. #EchidnaWatch #WildlifeQueensland
