Species: Echidna | Location: Strzelecki Mountain, Flinders Island, Australia
I spent a few months one winter doing a work/trade at a friends' retreat center on Flinders Island in the State of Tasmania, in Australia. Several times while walking on the property, I would see these adorable mammals that looked like a cross between an ant eater and a porcupine. They don't move too fast and are really focused on digging with their long snouts looking for food, so I would have so much find watching them. One day we took a hike up the largest mountain on the Island, at the top I was thrilled to see another Echidna. Our friend said it was pretty rare to see them on top of the mountain like that, so I felt pretty blessed.
