There are four species of Echidnas in Australia. Echidnas are similar to hedgehogs in that they are covered in spikes. They eat primarily ants and termites and are active at night. When threatened, Echidnas curl into a ball, protecting their face, limbs, and stomach while leaving their spiky back exposed.
