A sweet little echidna was recently rescued by NQ Wildlife Care after being washed up on a Burdekin beach in the aftermath of the recent floods.
Despite the ordeal, the tough little creature was in surprisingly good condition, though it was a little soggy and stunned. After being brought into care, it received the rest and recovery it needed before returning to the wild.
Echidnas, known for their unique spiky appearance and digging habits, are well-adapted to tough conditions, and this resilient one is expected to soon be back to doing what it does best - digging, foraging, and living independently in the wild.
“Nature sure throws some curveballs, but it’s amazing how resilient our native wildlife can be,” shared NQ Wildlife Care on their social media.
The dedication of NQ Wildlife Care’s local wildlife carers who work tirelessly to ensure these animals can recover and return to their natural habitats was commended online, with many members of the community happy to see how well the prickly pal recovered.
NQ Wildlife Care kindly asks the community to be vigilant and to call 0414 717 374 for all wildlife rescues. For more information about local wildlife care or how to support these efforts, visit NQ Wildlife Care’s website, https://nqwildlife.org.au/.
