Abstract

Short-beaked echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) look like hedgehogs but are actually monotremes, egg-laying mammals found only in Australia and New Guinea (SN: 11/26/16, p. 4). In infrared, the warmest parts of the spiny echidna body glowed in oranges, yellows and whites (shown in the bottom two images of two different echidnas). [Extracted from the article]
