Photo 7 Dec 850 notes thedailywhat: Adorable Animal Being Adorable of the Day: Three months ago, Perth Zoo welcomed its sixth Short-beaked Echidna since 2007. The prickly puggle, who weighed less than one gram upon hatching, made its first public appearance yesterday after spending its first few months on Earth gaining weight inside its mother’s pouch. “Once Kai leaves the nursery burrow, we will take a couple of small hairs for DNA sexing,” said the zoo’s Australian Fauna Supervisor, Arthur Ferguson. “The previous five echidnas born at Perth Zoo were all females, so we are hoping that Kai is a male.” [zooborns.]

Adorable Animal Being Adorable of the Day: Three months ago, Perth Zoo welcomed its sixth Short-beaked Echidna since 2007.

The prickly puggle, who weighed less than one gram upon hatching, made its first public appearance yesterday after spending its first few months on Earth gaining weight inside its mother’s pouch.

“Once Kai leaves the nursery burrow, we will take a couple of small hairs for DNA sexing,” said the zoo’s Australian Fauna Supervisor, Arthur Ferguson. “The previous five echidnas born at Perth Zoo were all females, so we are hoping that Kai is a male.”
