Puggle Struggle or Young Mr. Echidna's Big Day Out.

Rachel Vercoe and I came across this Echidna taking itself for a swim at Boambee Beach, Coffs Harbour Yesterday. It seemed quite content to roll about in the surf for ten minutes before wandering back into the thickly vegetated sand dunes. This apparently happens quite often (see link below) but the first time I've encountered this scenario. No Echidnas were harmed in the making of this film! https://mashable.com/2016/11/21/echidna-swim-australia-video/?fbclid=IwAR08MaLPPsoZtyXK5yA-BD973RKwZU3tn2eDvGQEZrPvA5nM4cxeQShyzJM#.ep2MO.bgkq8
