Echidna Bathes In Old Tyre
The Short-beaked Echidna, Tachyglossus aculeatus who regularly visits us found some water in an old tyre and decided to take a bath. Old tyres can provide water habitats that don’t dry out as rapidly as more open water sources. We take care though as they can also be mosquito breeding grounds too.

Fantastic … it’s terrific you managed to capture this! Those claws obviously make great back scratchers!
The mere existence of echidnas fills my heart with joy!
Wonderful video clip! That’s quite a bath tub!
His back legs were even cuter when they slid over the tye edge as he got back out of the tyre.
