Yay for puggles of one of the few extant species of monotremes!

Usually the "ugly-ass" appelation is ironic, submitter.

You shut your mouth about the echidna!

Chariset: Usually the "ugly-ass" appelation is ironic, submitter.

Actually, not always. It started as a truth and later became appropriated for irony.

Before too long, they'll be knocking over hedgehogs and stealing their rings.

Sad, really.

Nothing ugly-ass about baby echidnas. Puggles are the cutest things on the face of the planet. And they have the world's cutest name, too.

Puggles.

How could you not love puggles?

Doesn't see the resemblance:

Looks like a scrotum with legs.

It's worth noting that this is the most exciting thing to happen in Perth for the past 27 years.

I suddenly have a craving for durian:

Puggles Rock.

My dogs vet was caring for one the other week, Pity it didnt make it.


//Anyone for a meat pie?

Glass of Milk
Standing in between extinction in the cold
and explosive radiating growth
So the warm blood flows
Through the large four-chambered heart
Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

The cool wrap echidnas meal at taco bell? Good stuff.

I love them.. with the red sauce.

tinylion: Looks like a scrotum with legs.

More like a nutsack with a snout.

man, that's like not even close

Ok, that really is ugly-assed.

Yay Perth Zoo thread.

I think the last one was when the enraged psycho wombat bit the maintenance guy in the groinal area. Good times.

enchilada?

Echidona, that's what I'm representing,
Never seen a mic-hog spit like a menace.
Wild Canyon fun? I gotta chase a bat, huh,
Yeah, Rouge, she's sexy and smooth!
A double cross spot-thief, that's out for my jewels,
I'm feelin' her in mysterious ways.
That's why I stay on point like every single day,
I gotta protect this place, I do it for my race, uh.

Yay Perth Zoo Yay Echidnas Yay Psycho Wombat
A young wombat steals $40,000 from her employer's client, and subsequently encounters a young motel proprietor too long under the domination of his mother wombat......so he goes for the groin.
Good times indeed Shiekmagnet

Can we all chip in and buy Australia some normal animals?

who knew? I thought enchiladas were cooked not borned.

That was.... um... I'm not really sure what you've said, but I think I've just experienced total enlightenment

Really interesting creatures. I remember reading that they have more ability for reason and (memory?) than Humans.

Turns out I was wrong, the last PZ thread was an ugly ass Sun Bear.

I swear there were threads here recently regarding an escaped Orangutan and a killer wombat. Maybe I've been huffing the same brand of paint as Castlevania

FTA: "Echidnas are notoriously difficult to breed"

Hardly surprising seeing how ugly they really are.

God, I've always wanted a echidna link for this image!!! Parents have a ranch in the outback. When I visited the bio nerd in me was thrilled to find an echidna. He burrowed down in the dirt, but his long pink nose was still out. I approached and totally beeped the nose of the wild spiny echidna before he tucked it under. It was a lifetime achievement. I now share it with you.

I don't know why that struck me as hilarious, but it did.

A bit, before I cut my hair.

You're just jealous that you haven't beeped the velvety smooth nose of an echidna. Felt like a damp jelly bean. I totally said "beep" too.

I once tried to pick one up because it sat down in the middle of the road and I didn't want it to die.

But it didn't feel like moving and I ended up with severely cut and bleeding hands.

I wish I'd just beeped its nose.

All I see is a turd with a nose.

The best thing about echidnas.

ou dont have to worry about the bread and the meat separating in your sandwich.....

Fun echidna fact: an echidna penis is called a "wollenbone"

Bonus fun echidna fact: echidnas are the only egg-laying mammal whose name start and ends with a vowel^*.

^*This would be more interesting if there were more egg-laying mammals.

/lol platypus is a funny word to say

Antilope: Can we all chip in and buy Australia some normal animals?

But that is part of what makes them so interesting! Very Un PC Link

Also, glad to hear that they are hatched from eggs - I shudder to think of trying to squeeze something that spikey out.

Antilope: Can we all chip in and buy Australia some normal animals?

That has been tried before, with unintended consequences.

8.5 tailed fox: Fun echidna fact: an echidna penis is called a "wollenbone"


An even funner fact: The echidna's penis has four heads...for her pleasure

Not impressed.

"Arf" she said.

He's not touchably soft and his snout looks like a prolapse rectum.

I don't care for it. No, not one bit.

AngryJailhouseFistfark: He's not touchably soft and his snout looks like a prolapse rectum.

But prolapsed rectums are touchably soft!

Anti-smoking message #23,356,345

The picture of that eye-less, hairless creature with the accented nose looks like someone in their last days of suffering with emphysema.

/You don't have to get lung cancer to die a prolonged, hideous death from smoking.
//Emphysema is worse.

Arf!

Fark is not your personal erotica site.

"Notoriously difficult to breed" - have they tried blindfolding the boy echidnas? Or paper-bagging the heads of the girl echidnas? Because I'm predicting the birth rate would go up dramatically.

Vangor: Yay for puggles of one of the few extant species of monotremes!

Dead uncle allotherium.

aw, beat me to the whole enchilada.

Thus the enigma that is the echidna.

It's not erotica if you have to do it for part of your job.

Echidnas have no REM sleep.


Apparently they dream while they're awake and foraging. Yep, they're nature's little eternasomnabulants.
