If there ever was an animal more perfect for this show; its the echidna! Also, the Roseate Spoonbill is weird. Try not to get turned off by these animals' weird names...these are real animals and these are their real names.
The pink spoon shaped billed bird that can be found in the wetland marshes of Florida is the Roseate Spoonbill. And is the first animal we'll be talking about today. Its got pink feathers (but is not, nor is related to the flamingo. Its related to the pelican), but like the flamingo their pink is based on their food. And what's up with their beak? What's the point of the weird pancake shape of the spoonbill's beak? You'll soon find out.
And what is an echidna? Or is it a spiny anteater? Is it a mammal? A reptile? A bird? Is it a marsupial like a kangaroo? It has a pouch. But it lays eggs? But it looks like a hedgehog. What even is the echidna? We will break down the udder weirdness that is the echidna and learn why the echidna and platypus are two weird cousins who are the rebels of the mammal world. Also, echidna's don't have nipples, but they have a four-headed penis (Thanks Alexander for the recommendation). Also, what's a puggle? You'll be happy you asked.
Here are the silly scientific names:
Roseate Spoonbill: Platalea ajaja
Eastern long-beaked echidna: Zaglossus bartoni
Sir David's long-beaked echidna: Zaglossus attenboroughi
Western long-beaked echidna: Zaglossus bruijnii
Short-beaked echidna: Tachyglossus aculeatus
