Mel says goodbye to an animal she raised from a tiny pink naked thing to a 3kg mature echidna.

The first thing Bob did when she was placed on the ground was burrow in. Some I Can't Believe It's Not Termites brings her to the surface.

Checking out the new territory.

The green tubes on her spines are shrink-wrapped plastic markers so she can be identified.

Echidnas In The Bush. My last views of Bob.


Good luck, Bob.
