Echidna Puggle Perth Zoo

If you need a pick-me-up this week, these delightful echidna puggles may be able to lend a chubby hand.

According to Australia's Herald Sun, a pair of baby short-beaked echidnas were born at Perth Zoo this August. The puggles' arrival into the world reportedly marked a breeding milestone for the Australian zoo.

"These [baby Echidnas] represent the first successful breeding from zoo-born Echidnas and have shown that echidnas breed at a younger age than previously thought," writes Zooborns.com.



I just love saying "PUGGLES"! LOL

3. Technically they are not new"born"

Echidnas are monotreme mammals. They hatch from eggs.
