I couldn't resist spending more time photographing my favourite animal at Paignton, as he was venturing into a sunny patch and he had even kept his nose clean for me. Enclosure beside red pandas, Paignton, 13th March 2016.

What an awesome picture of an awesome creature!
PS: does the general crowd pay much attention to them?

They don't seem to take much notice.

Another great shot of the best animal in a UK zoo!

EDIT - Just noticed that I seem to have a slight obsession with this animal, see all my posts in the gallery!

I suspect I would be the same had I the opportunity to see him more than once!

This strikes me as a good excuse to post this video I recorded of him, mind you ...

It seems to me that every healthy zoochatter should be echidna obsessed

Monotremes are all-around awesome, and their rareness enchances that!
