What is a barbed ant?
Anti -record is the common name for Echidna, mammaline indigenous for New Guinea and Australia. The entertainment ant is similar to his distant cousins, anteaters of North America, in the fact that his diet consists mainly of insects. Unlike other anti -alternates, the barbed ant is a monotrem, which are mammals who lay eggs. Echidna was a mythological monster that was half and a half playground. She was the opponent of the Greek gods and was considered the forerunner of many mythological monsters. One of his distinguishing features is his long, slim snout and there is a species called short -term echidna, which has a smaller snout. In the snout there is an elongated, sticky tongue used to capture insects such as ants and termites. The snout serves as a mouth and nose, and it is toothless. Echidna will dig into the clouds and protocols of Termite to find her prey. Like his cousin, the platypus, he is supported by his ability to use the muzzle to feel electronic pulses from prey. This type of electroreCece is also common in sharks and eels.
The fertilized anti -and -platypus are the only known monetry. Echidna lays eggs that remain inside her mother's case, like warning, for about 10 days. After hatching the egg, an anthill remains for a barbed children's candle for six to eight weeks. When the young echidna is sufficiently old to leave the case, the mother prepares the lair to stay while she foothills. He returns to the lair so that the child is treated every few days.
The woman monotre is produced by milk, but goes through the skin in the skin and not through the nipples like other mammals. He has a few skin patches where lactation milk leaks and can approach young echidna. He is shut down for about seven months and begins to look for meals.
Based on fossil records found in Australia, it is believed that there were other species of monotrems, but now they are extinct. Evidence suggests that in Australia the MoNotremy and moved to Antarctica to what South America is now. Since 2011, no monotremes naturally live outside Australia or New Guinea.
