Where are the Echinda? I went in August 2013 and I can remember seeing Wombats, Tree Kangeroos and Koala, but no Devils and no Echinda!

The devils went on exhibit October 2013. There was one echidna on exhibit for a short time. I never saw it. They have moved one of the devils, Jake, to where the echidna was. The exhibit is the small enclosure down the steps from the tree kangaroo. You have to follow the path between the wombat and the camel exhibit.

There was an echidna in the children's zoo for several years, but it died in 2012 of very old age. http://blogs.sandiegozoo.org/tag/echidna/

The devils went on exhibit after you visited unfortunately. I don't think that they had arrived at the zoo at the time of your visit.
 
Ah, thankyou for the information! I am almost sure the Devils weren't even at the Zoo at the time, because there was no hint of then even going on show.
Thanks for the Echinda information! Does the Zoo have any plans to replace it?
Sorry for all the questions, but one more - what happened to the zoo's previous Devils? Thanks!

I have no idea if they have plans to replace the echidna. Betsy said in a prior post that an echidna was briefly on exhibit in the Outback exhibit, so they may have already replaced it. It is not on exhibit if they have one, at least not as of March 2014 when I visited.

The previous devils died out, as did all the devils in the U.S. prior to the current group.

I was told that they have at least 3 off exhibit.
