A new character in Andrew's Outback Australiana series.
The crazy colourful "Your Chidin" is one of the extinct Mega Fauna that roamed Gondwana millions of years ago.
"Your Chidin" is related to the modern day Echidna except it has two, not four legs, four claws not five and is about a metre high compared to the 15 to 18 cm high Echidna.
Normally quite placid, Andrew has captured "Your Chidin" in it's aggressive crazed defence/ attach stance as the giant ants (10cm high) are attacking it. It also adopts this crazy stance if it is poked or threatened in any way.
Over many eons, the modern day Echidna has evolved to defend itself by turning the table and eating ants, learning burrowing techniques and shortening and strengthening it's spikes.
It also has developed some interesting yet bizarre reproductive attributes which you can discover by searching male Echidna physical features.
