When I got home from my run Hubby was cooking bacon on the BBQ. He called me to come look at all the butterflies. It is just too cold and windy for them today.

Short-beaked Echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus), family Tachyglossidae, Canberra, Australia

Also called "spiny anteaters".

Echidnas are monotremes, mammals that lay eggs (along with platypuses).

Females lay eggs and keep them in a pouch.

The hatchlings are called "puggles".

Meet the Himalayan monal, the national bird of Nepal. The males have plumage so dazzling that they're practically feathered rainbows.

I like when there is a series of animals doing similar behavior and one of them is our good friend Household Cat.
