Echidna - 3D minifigure to build yourself. One of the few mammals in the world that lays eggs. Introverted and independent and equipped with a few 'superpowers'. The babies become independent of their mother from the age of just seven months and lead a solitary life. Fortunately, their physical characteristics help them survive - they can catch their prey with their 15 cm long tongue, track food through electroreceptors in their snout and hide easily by camouflaging themselves on the ground with their multi-coloured spines. The EUGY echidna was produced in collaboration with the Royal Australian Mint and adorns the Australian 5 cent coin.
