00:00When most of us think of echidnas we think of a spiky creature wobbling through the bush
00:07or across a road like this. However on hot days echidnas also don't mind a dip in our waterways
00:15including our dams and rivers and also even the ocean. Tyson Powell captured this video of an
00:24echidna at the Murrumbidgee River just below Shepard's Lookout in Holt in the ACT and as you
00:32can see an echidna can use its backward pointing feet as rudders and its long snout as a snorkel.
00:42Look at him go! Echidnas swim to play, to groom, to cool off and in this case to get to the other side
00:52of the river.
01:22Here you go.
01:23Here you go.
01:42mmm
