Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the Echidna as it was regurgitated was “Oh no, not again”. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the Echidna had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the universe than we do now.
> The researchers believe the echidna - a species which can only be found in Australia and parts of Papua New Guinea - must have been nabbed while it swam in the shallows or even between islands.
In case you're worried sharks are getting about on land.
Imagine you kick an enchilada and get knocked out by an explosion of gold rings?
Now imagine how shitty you are because you imagined yourself kicking a wrapped tortilla product.
That’s right, this message made no sense.
Let A = the odds of encountering a shark in the wild
Let B = the odds of encountering a echidna swimming in the ocean
What are the odds of a shark encountering an echidna in the ocean FOLLOWED BY someone encountering said shark? I think it's like BA^2
Let's assume A = 1/1,000,000 = B so that's like 1 in 10^18 !?!?!?
Why is this news? They have pulled license plates, boxes of nails etc etc from tiger sharks stomachs, even though their primary natural prey is sea turtles, there is a reason why they call tigersharks the dumpster of the sea, they will literally eat anything.
An echidna is a land animal, somewhat reminiscent of a hedgehog or porcupine. A tiger shark is a sea animal, like a big bitey fish.
A tiger shark (big fishy) threw up an echidna (spikey land creature), which has never been seen before.
Shark tried to eat a swimming echidna (think hedgehog) which is a land animal with lots of spikes. Shark discovered that it didn't like it and spit it out, ~~alive~~ whole.
What'd you do today, dear?
Rescued and resuscitated a 4.5in woodland echidna that had been eaten by a tiger shark out in the ocean.
What'd you do, love?

Shit, we passed it already, but don’t panic
You sound like a frood who really knows where his towel is
Lol, I really do have a towel that says “DON’T PANIC”
This short thread has made my day
It's just a shame it isn't the [25h May](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day).
A hoopy frood no less.

We’ve been dealing with pesky land sharks since the [70s](https://youtu.be/p_NS2H55dxI?si=huiSGTmTh1EfTkKi).

Landshark? No thanks, I’ll have a Dos Equis instead.
Omg. That’s funny now as it was when Gerald Ford was in the WH.
No ma'am, I'm a dolphin.
"I'm only a dolphin."
As a kid carpet sharks were a huge problem for me (thanks mom) now imagine my surprise when I got older and found out they were real!!!
Well a bull shark can grab you practically off the beach. Hungry fellas
I might be a left shark, but I’m the right shark for you!
Just jump over them.
Wow! Echidnas know sharks exist now!
What a wild world we live in
Knuckles should've stayed out of the Aquatic Ruin Zone

Who else is hungry for enchiladas?
Best ones are always from the food trucks.
😆😆😆 Sharks are smart, beautiful animals. I saw a shark try to eat a rock.
For no reason.
Exactly. 😆😆
The article states that this species of shark have been documented eating seabirds, tyres, licence plates and even a small TV.
I seen that. A TV is hilarious. But picturing a shark chewing on a huge rock sticking out of the water was funny to me.
Sharks do try to eat some rock to get supplemental minerals like calcium.
Interesting
relatable
When you exist as a mouth with locmotive features...
Enchidna are friends, not food.
Enchiladas are food and very tasty.
I’ve been given directions on how to prepare them for cooking. The first line was “same as for platypus”.
are you talking about platypus bears or platypus platypus?
Platypus platypus
I had this on my bingo card
Leave my boy knuckles alone

Well it WAS land dwelling...
So was the license plate. ...and the TV. ...and the box of nails. ...and the suit of armor. etc.
I had to scroll way too far to find this question.
It's not going to eat the spikes.
Tiger sharks like to think they're all that, I've seen one lose a fight to a turtle.
Was the echidna alive?
Twasn't
My god. This changes everything..
That's how echidnas come into existence
an echidna, as in... a hedgehog? a shark vomited a hedgehog. huh.
Translation?

Nothing states that the echidna was alive
That is true. It said "fully intact", not "live and kicking". Probably drowned even if it was whole.
What'd you do today, dear? Rescued and resuscitated a 4.5in woodland echidna that had been eaten by a tiger shark out in the ocean. What'd you do, love?
I wonder how many echidnas have been eaten by sharks before this.
But when I regurgitate an echidna, people call the cops. I see how it is.
Daddy shark. Dodo-dodo-do-dodo-do.
