To Mr Emrose

hello Mr Emrose I am looking forward to you coming back next week. Please bring some Goanna I would like to try it.
QUESTION: I would like to know whether the Echidnas have teeth and what do they eat? how fast do they move?

Hello Katie - no I can't bring any goanna back!

Echidna do not have teeth, but they have a 17cm long tongue which moves back and forth really, really quickly. The tongue is sticky and brings in ants, termites and grubs (beetle larvae)to crush up in its mouth. Their goonna has lots of sand in it because they swallow lots while they eat!
