Looks like that character in post #15 is really eating duck billed platy pusses. hehe.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Pfft. THIS is an echidna.

:-P

[Emmalein]

Neat video, thanks! The Echidna looks like a cross between a porcupine and an anteater.

[Issaquahking]

Thanks for the ping/bump!

[skinkinthegrass]

ACKKKK! OMG! LOL!.....It does show-up, quite unexpectedly...where's the eye wash?

[Mamzelle]

Evolution? You mean you're assuming these are "newly sprung" and not merely delightfully hidden for all these years?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks, I found the topic ribbeting.

[Red Badger]

Newly sprung? No, just a road less travelled.........

[Red Badger]

That's Sonic's big brother. A hedgehog, I believe.......

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Actually, you're way off.

That red guy is Knuckles the Echidna. He's the rival/ally of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sonic HAS no relatives. At least, not in the video games. The comics are a whole different story. But even in the comics he has no big brother.

[Red Badger]

I've got that game! and all these years I thought he was Sonic's big brother!................

Nice! Bump!!!!

[GreenFreeper]

and who says video games aren't educational?

"It's just another frog."

To an environmenatal group nothing is "just another", it is always a unique endangered species, requiring millions upon millions of dollars to "save it".

#35 we laugh at that but THAT is what evolutionists believe. We evolved from apes!!!

LOL!!!!!

[nmh]

Thank you again for the superb posting!

We really enjoyed it.

[editor-surveyor]

Gotta laugh at the way they call them "new" simply because they've never been photographed before. "If I've never seen it, it doesn't exist." :o)
