Tasmanian echidnas behave very differently. During the winter mating season, males seek out hibernating females and wake them up to mate. Intriguingly, females can put their pregnancy on hold and go back into hibernation. In the wild, the lifespan is believed to be between 10 and 50 years, and up to 50 years in captivity. #tasmania #wildlife #cuteanimals #australia #animallovers | Animals.of.tasmania
