Mmmmmm....that husband of yours is rooly smart! Very close to a dingo! He's been watching Steve Irwin, right? You can't be the first commenter (or commentor) and nearly get it right!!
RICHARD - if only you knew how close to the truth that is (poor hairy Vince)! NO! It's not roadkill. You're an impatient bugger. Grossness will be coming up on Thursday - okay?
It's an Echidna! A native Australian animal. We came across him in the bush on the week-end. He rolled up in a little ball and burrowed into the earth. Even though I have seen echidnas before, I was really struck by how hairy he was! Echidnas are one of only two monotremes in the world (the other is a platypus). A monotreme is a mammal that lays eggs. AND - he can use electroreception - like a shark!
Tony thinks it's a porcupine.

One thing's for sure: This thing makes it easy to keep my after-easter-diet. *yikes* ;-)))
