Penguin here.
I don’t know what’s cuter: this little buddy or what she’s called: a puggle. This girl will grow up to be quite spiky as you can see in our other echidna picture here. This puggle in particular is from the Taronga zoo and her name is Beau. You could read more about her here on ZooBorns’ awesome site.
What a curious little friend.

In case you’re not familiar with echidnas, they are the only other egg-laying mammal (a.k.a monotreme) aside from the famous platypus. Echidnas are definitely goofy looking. This specific one has an explosion of adorable spikes and a relatively large mouth/nose combination. Doesn’t his face look so tiny surrounded by so many spikes? I’d love to hold this guy in my hands, but only on the condition that his spines aren’t too prickly!
How do you like my spiky hairdo?
