In Spiky Echidna, a baby echidna gets a piece of wire caught in between his spines. It takes a friendly possum to pull it out for him.

The short-beaked echidna is a mammal called a monotreme, which means “one hole”.

It has one vent through which everything passes, including eggs and waste matter.  Its young hatch from a leathery-shelled egg then stays in the small, backward-facing pouch until its spines develop.  If it is threatened, an echidna will roll up into a spiky ball on hard ground or dig quickly into soft ground.
