Echidnas are also known as "spiny ant eaters". Echidnas, like the platypus, are the only two mammals that lay eggs.
Up until recently, the echidna was not classified as a mammal (I don't know why biologists changed their minds.. maybe they decided they had to keep up with the astronomers who decided Pluto is not a planet)

How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin. - Ronald Reagan
