Our Ecosystem Engineer - The Echidna

The mother of monsters 

with a secret life, 

a waggling tail 

a waddling gait, 

a mega rolling  

armour of spines. 

A world-class digger, 

an ecosystem engineer, 

this shy 

bioturbator, 

helping the earth  

with every move. 

Strong. 

Brave. 

Courageous. 

Our solitary Australian hero;

our solution to turning round soil, 

and turning round biodiversity.
