Family Tachyglossidae is a group of egg-laying mammals commonly known as echidnas or spiny anteaters. These unique creatures are native to Australia and New Guinea and are characterized by their spiky exterior and long snouts. In some regions, they are also referred to as platypus echidnas or short-beaked echidnas. The Tachyglossidae family includes four different species: the short-beaked echidna, the western long-beaked echidna, the eastern long-beaked echidna, and the Sir David's long-beaked echidna. While their physical appearance may differ slightly, all species of Tachyglossidae share similar characteristics, including their burrowing habits and specialized diets of ants and termites.
