Make room for the platypus and echidna
Only found in Australia, cha cha cha!
With body temps lower than other animals
They are the earth’s only egg laying...

quills quiver.

Curled up,
face tucked

A joey standing forlorn by it's unmoving mother

A brick of a wombat
An Echidna
A heap of budgies
A raven
Some pretty green grass...
