Up next is the 1999 Australian Short beaked Echidna Five Cents Coin ๐ฆ๐บ _________________________ Here's some information about this coin - The five cent coin was first introduced with decimal currency on 14 February 1966. The original reverse design of the echidna on standard circulating coins has not been changed since the introduction. The obverse design was altered in 2016 to mark the 50th anniversary of decimal currency, but the reverse design of the echidna has remained constant. All of the first issue of five cent coins in 1966 were produced at the Royal Mint, London. Since the first production from London, five cent coins have been produced by the Royal Australian Mint, the Royal Mint, Llantrisant and the Royal Canadian Mint. Three species of Long-beaked Echidnas and the Short-beaked Echidna are all found in Papua New Guinea. Short-beaked Echidnas can grow up to 40cm and 7kg, but most are between 2kg and 5kg. Their Latin name means โquick tongueโ (Tachyglossus) and โspinyโ (aculeatus). Thereโs good reason why their other common name is the Spiny Ant-eater. Their snouts are rigid and strong, allowing them to break open logs and termite mounds. Theyโre found across most of Australia and hold the title of Australiaโs most widespread native mammal. _________________________ Specifications Country of Issue: Falkland Islands Year of Issue: 1999 Denomination: Five Cents Metal Alloy: Copper-Nickel Diameter: 19.41mm Weight: 2.83g Reverse: Stuart Devlin Obverse: Ian Rank-Broadley Finish: Circulated ________________________ #australiancoins #fivecents #echidna #echidnas #shortbeakedechidna #silvercoin #coppernickel #coinage #worldcoins #australia #coincollection #coinnerd #coinclub #animalcoins #changechecker #koinclub #westminstercollection #coinlovers #coinworld #coincollectingcommunity #numismastic #numismatics

THROUGH THE FIRE ๐ฅ (FRโ) Everybody has got a superpower. The echidnasโ one is that they can survive bushfires. Apparently, they enter a state called torpor where they lower their body temperature, thus reducing the energy they need during and after the fire. Amazing, isnโt it? What about you?

โจIntroducing our "Amazing Animals" series where you'll learn new fun facts about animals in our care! โจ Our first series is devoted to the wonderfully bizarre echidna! Fun fact #1: Echidnas are monotremes! "Mono...what?" you say๐ค. Let's have look at this unique group of mammals that includes the platypus and the echidna: The Greek ๐ฌ๐ท word 'monotreme' stands for 'single opening'. This opening, called cloaca, is a single duct, where the digestive ๐ฉ, urinary and reproductive tracts meet. The cloaca is also a key body feature of amphibians ๐ธ and reptiles ๐ข๐๐ฆ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ. But this is not the only factor that makes monotremes unique! More to follow on our next fun fact reveal, tomorrow evening!! Stay tuned ๐ป ! (BTW: Our echidna's name is 'Noodles' ๐. Visit Zoodoo to say 'Hi'!) Did you know this already or was this new to you? Leave us a comment and share these fun facts with others so they might join the fun! #echidna #echidnas #monotreme #funfact #amazinganimals

Take the time to get back to nature in the Hilltops Region this autumn. You will be so happy you did! ๐ธ Be sure to get a pic and post it here if you spot an elusive precious platypus on your next visit so we can give you much deserved bragging rights. #HilltopsRegion #SouthernTablelands #EarthDay #EarthDay2024 #Nature #Wildlife #Platypus #Kangaroo #Wallaby #Australia #Rivers #Creeks #Birds #Echidnas #FeelNSW

ECHIDNALADA ... Australian fusion cooking ... also known as bush haute cuisine. Fusion cooking in Australia is heavily influenced by confusion ... as an unsuspecting echidna that was quietly following a trail of ants through a kitchen discovered. The chef had recently returned from working in Mexico and was still suffering from burn out ... mostly caused by the chilli. Not to mention the tequila. Australian culinary tastes demand that whatever you cook, it must have everything on it ... afterall, this is the country that gave the world such delicacies as the meat pie pizza. So the echidna suddenly found itself in an enchilada, along with everything else the chef could lay his hands on ... in fact, this is where the expression 'the whole enchilada' came from. The echidnalada differs from the enchilada, in that it moves around the table all by itself ... and diners find themselves competing with each other for their meal. And this is why an echidnalada is always served by an umpire... and not a waiter. #echidna #echidnas #anteaters #enchiladas #fusioncooking #australia #mexico #bushtucker #hautecuisine #animalfun #animalillustration #animalcartoon # #illustrations #penandink #watercolour #watercolor #illustratorsoninstagram #finest_illustrations #illustration_best #errolmcleary #bookillustrator #illustrationartist #funillustration #cartoonstyleart

Echidnas are found in a wider variety of habitats and climates than any other mammal in Australia. Tasmanian echidnas, such as this one near Cradle Mountain, enter a hibernation-like state and become inactive during the winter. The short-beaked echidna is found from deserts to mountain peaks; from Tasmania to southern New Guinea. Itโs unique backwards-pointing feet give it an advantage when digging. Echidnas also use extended claws on the second toes of the hind feet to scratch and groom between the spines. Australiaโs most widespread mammal is perhaps one of the least understood but now pioneering research is unlocking the enigma of the echidna. And this one is having a bit of a look around before he returns to his burrow.๐/ #sirdavidattenborough/ #britishbroadcaster/ #biologist/ #naturalhistorian/ #author/ #sirdavidseries/ #visualart/ #collageart/ #echidnas/ #conservation
