Is there anything cuter than an unlikely gymnast? 😛 The short-beaked echidna is one of Australia's most well-loved animals. Some scientists think these curious creatures engage in swimming and somersaulting just for fun. With a tubular snout and toothless mouth, you might even catch echidnas taking a lucky dip in the water while using their snout as a snorkel.

Here's something you don't see every day! 🤔 This echidna was enjoying a dip on Kangaroo Island, SA. An expert says while it's rare to see, echidnas are actually good swimmers. They use their backwards-pointing feet as a natural rudder, and their snout works as a little snorkel. They also have a low body temperature, so often head to pools of water to cool down on hot days. 🌡️ 📹: Kangaroo Island Bush Getaway Adventures | ABC Landline

Echidna-not, that's one long tongue! 👅 Did you know ❓ Echidnas are toothless mammals and have a tongue that is about 15cm in length! Their long, sticky tongue works very quickly to slurp up ants and termites. Tasty 😋 📷 keeper Aaron | Perth Zoo

Watch this echidna head into the water for a quick dip before wandering along the lake’s edge 🦔 Echidnas are surprisingly capable swimmers paddling with all four limbs and using their snout like a snorkel. It’s a handy way to cool off or get to new patches of habitat. Species name: Tachyglossus aculeatus … #echidna #australianwildlife #mulligansflat #wildlifephotography #ausnature
