<h2>About the Echidna</h2>
<div class="echidna-info">
<p>The <strong>echidna</strong>, also known as the spiny anteater, is one of only two types of egg-laying mammals on Earth, the other being the platypus. Native to Australia and New Guinea, echidnas are easily recognizable by their spines, which resemble those of a porcupine. Despite their appearance, echidnas are gentle creatures, using their long, sticky tongues to feed on ants and termites.</p>
<p>Echidnas are excellent diggers and use their sharp claws to burrow into the ground when threatened. They also roll into a ball, with their spines pointing outward to deter predators. While primarily solitary animals, echidnas can be found in a variety of habitats, ranging from forests to deserts.</p>
<p>Like the platypus, the echidna is a protected species. Its resilience in the wild is impressive, but habitat destruction and human activity continue to pose risks. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving the species and its role in the ecosystem.</p>
