Great Ocean Road Tour Guide

An Echidna at Work

0:00 / 0:31

“If you spot an echidna with its nose buried in the ground, it may be opening an insect nest. Its sharp claws and pointed snout do the digging; a long, sticky tongue flicks in and out to collect ants and termites.”

Plays as you drive in Parkwolf’s Great Ocean Road Tour Guide.
