You did well! 😁 They often get themselves stuck in a corner & it’s pretty hard to move them out of that. Thought I saw its spines flare out defensively when it heard Bronson bark too. Could have been a disaster - you saved the day! 😁

Compilation of Detox Doodles!

These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: https://www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-doodles

Of all of these, my favorites are the chickens and frogs!

The local neighbourhood echidna decided to visit my backyard yesterday. They snuffled about an embankment looking for ants. I think that they must have found a few as well. By sitting very still and quiet I was able to get a few close up photos and videos.
I've got a few more but file size is a problem. Can anyone advise some good open source free video editing software?

Took a trip to Lake St Clair, Australia's deepest lake. This guy wasn't bothered by us as they foraged for insects in the fallen tree bark.

Snoopy the echidna gets ready to enter a ball pit at Healesville sanctuary in Victoria, #Australia. Snoopy has marked 40 years at the sanctuary since being rescued in 1985, when she was deemed unsuitable to return to the wild as a youngster. The hardy echidna has been living out her days in the simulated bushland haven, and also enjoying an enrichment ball pit.
