When I am not public speaking I love to be outdoors with nature, and living in Australia means I see some of the most beautiful fauna and flora in the world. This weekend I took time off from public speaking and visited a place called Dryandra Woodland in Western Australia and I saw this exquisite short beaked Echinda, (Tachyglossus aculeatus). It is very spiny on the top and soft underneath and eats ants and termites. Echidnas are one of only two mammals that lay eggs. The baby is called a "puggle". Echidnas are between 30-45 cm in length. You will see that when it suddenly realised I was there, the echidna started to bury itself in the ground and curl up into a spiky ball. Now I am going to try and work out how to introduce echidnas into my speeches! I figure I could talk about prickly people you may meet and show an echidna! I would love to incorporate more Australia wildlife and flowers into my speech topics and on my PowerPoint slides. All ideas welcome!
