On: The Echidna Is Australia’s Most Delightfully Diffe...

[Humphrey]

Was once [ignorantly] trying to help encourage an echidna to get off a busy road next to my house, but it burrowed down into the cement curb gutter. It managed to use its quills to hold onto the cement, and there was not a chance of moving it. I couldn't believe how strongly it could hold onto what I thought as smooth cement.

As I commented elsewhere here, my current method is to get a towel around them and drag.

Might have to wait a few metres away for a few minutes, see if they continue in away from the road.

Nice work. A towel, that is is just about the most massively useful thing isn't it!

I see where you're going with this ;)
