It’s echidna mating season and Council is reminding everyone to slow down when driving through wildlife areas. These quirky creatures have quite a mating ritual, with male echidnas lining up behind the female for their chance to woo her. It’s a risky business when the echidna train tries to cross a road.
In the last month, four echidnas have been struck by cars and have needed emergency transport with the Redlands After-hours Wildlife Ambulance (RAWA) for treatment.
