When clearing your paddock with an excavator
or bulldozing your garden
or doing your renovation with a bobcat
or burning heaps or mulch piles
or letting your dogs off leash -

Keep an eye out for echidna puggles in burrows.

If I had a dollar for each time I helped an echidna off the road this week I'd have two dollars 😁

Check out the view of the back claws in the first photo! Omg I got so lucky with the angle!!! They stick out behind the echidna so they can fling away dirt when they're burrowing! This one was having a little difficulty figuring out why burrowing wasn't working on the nice warm road 🥺😓

Two baby echidnas have found themselves in expert care after being accidentally unearthed during building works in Victoria, #Australia. The orphaned puggles, as the young are called, were disturbed when two separate burrows were uncovered – one by an excavator clearing a paddock and the other beneath a concrete slab.
