Prickly mum - Short-beaked Echidna - Small design - Unisex Softstyle T-Shirt
The short-beaked echidna is one of Australia’s most unusual mums, raising her young in a way that’s part reptile, part mammal, and entirely fascinating. After laying a single egg, she tucks it into a temporary pouch where it hatches into a tiny, jellybean-sized puggle. She nurses it with milk (without nipples) before leaving it safely hidden in a burrow while she forages, returning every few days to feed it. Protecting intact bushland and safe nesting areas is important for species like this, and organisations like Aussie Ark help conserve native wildlife and their habitats. Despite being covered in spines, echidna mums somehow manage the delicate job of caring for one of the softest, most vulnerable babies in the animal world.
