Apparently they eat white ants. It was rummaging around in some old rotted tree stumps and logs.

Anne Maria, this is a hedgehog, right? We call that an ''egel''.
Sometimes I'm seeing them in my backyard, they look a bit different than the Australian version.
Look to this video, [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc5QJ92LPMo"]YouTube - The Hedgelog Family - De Familie Egel[/ame]

Ah, yes the wonderful Australian wildlife. The echidna, which eats white ants and the wombat, which eats roots and leaves. I once had a girlfriend call me a wombat

Grumpy John,
Most non-Australians wouldn't get it but explaining it will detract from the joke.
