Don't Echidnas have venemous spurs on their back legs the same as Platypus?
I am wondering if I am wrong as no one has mentioned it so far...

"The spur on the hind leg is non-poisonous, unlike the Platypus, and is no indication of sex as not all males have them, spurs have also been found on some females"
I dunno if I believe some one who does not know the difference between venemous and poisonous.

Ururur! Picking up echidnas is fun
A bunch of biology students on Kangaroo island had a competition to see who could be the first to do it, of course, I couldn't back out of something like that, and considering there were about 35 of us and only about 3 guys, I didn't have much competition to condend with and was the only one who could do it (yes, I'm shamelessly in love with myself )
Heaps of students took photos of it, many promised to give me copies but 9 months later, I haven't recieved any I got to try out my skills again on the next field trip in Walpeup, lots of fun for an idiot like me! :roll:

Re: RE: echidna
From what I've seen and heard, if a female has spurs they tend to be quite small. Not too many females have them, so if the one you've grabbed has obvious spurs, chances are it's a male.
Incidentally, the first line of that page has the statement "...the family group called "monotremes" which means egg laying mammal."
Monotreme actually means "single hole" (from the greek monos = alone and trema = hole) refering to the single urogenital opening.
