The name “Parade” of echidnas comes from the unusual sight of multiple echidnas waddling along in a slow, purposeful line, especially during the breeding season when males may follow a single female in what’s called an “echidna train.” There was no evident parade when I photographed this guy. Just a single echidna along the side of the road in Tasmania. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/125th of a second.

That’s a great shot, Sean!
Thanks Sue. It was fun driving around Tasmania and seeing these guys along the side of the road. No guide necessary to capture images.
